In your face Luke Shuey (Again)

I'm sure there's an element of North Melbourne hate going on right now.... surely Atley was robbed.

That photo just makes him look Super Saiyan.

LOL, and in typical fashion there's already a thread whinging about it on the North board.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

He will be the next Pendlebury

Never seen a bigger group of dickheads to be honest. Apologies to the few sensible North supporters who have to put up with such flogs. Well done Hepp, we got a future superstar here!

 

[Rack Watts]

WOAH! If he ends up the calibre of those other players.....
I have to be honest, I always sort of forget Heppell

OMG most of them are fine but they can have a chip on their shoulder, my family are North supporters, my sister genuinely believes the Brownlow is only won by rich clubs

Of the very few posters criticising or belittling Jobe's victory, the arguments are just so full of holes.

- Jobe didn't have any one taking votes off him
Jobe had 20 votes while Stanton was sitting second on the overall leader-board with 14, when Jobe polled the majority of his votes, Stanton was polling exceptionally well.

- Only won it because he stood out in a shit team
He is the first Brownlow winner since Shane Crawford in 1999 to win from a team outside the top 8, not to mention that Stanton argument posted before

Oh well, the majority recognise the talents of Jobe and Heppell, as long as we do who cares?

 

[daz17]

If he didn't deserve the votes a player from the other team would have got the votes.
That argument is so stupid.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Well done to Hepp. Hopefully a permanent move to the midfield next year. Pretty much confirms that he's a better player than Atley now, doesn't it? The umpires think so, and now the coaches think so too.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

In your face Luke Shuey (Again)

Luke Shuey was not eligible. He was eligible last year and came second behind Fyfe (by 1 vote), which is completely understandable.

Congrats to Heppell he has had a great first two seasons, especially in 2011.

 

[BrunoV]

Just like to point out that the some of the nuggets of Rohan Connolly's supposedly on point ranting of about 6 weeks ago included the stalling of Dyson Heppell's development this year and our lack of young midfield quality.

 

[revival_mode]

love the hep - superstar in the making

 

[GUMBLETRON]

- Jobe didn't have any one taking votes off him

Especially in the second North game.

Rohan can go back to wearing his Collingwood jumper in front of the mirror.

 

[Essendonia]

Congrats, Hepp. Don't cut your hair, Daisy lost his flair.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Congrats, Hepp. Don't cut your hair, Daisy lost his flair.

Played one of his best games last year when the 'do was trimmed. Heppell, that is.

 

[Essendonia]

Played one of his best games last year when the 'do was trimmed. Heppell, that is.

Well, based on that statement...if he only played one of his best with trimmed hair, that, by inference, means that he played the remainder of his best with longer hair. Assuming that his 'best games' sample is greater than two matches, it therefore follows that he played his best with longer hair.

On a side point, in that game that you refer to, though it was undoubtedly a good, strong performance, did it include...flair?

 

[Lord Nicholson]

It included beating the eventual premiers.

He was in a rich vein of form with the shorter hair. I'm all for it.

 

[Essendonia]

Let's do it. I have clippers. Who has a van and stockings/hockey masks?

 

[Zephyr Effekt]

The Norf folk will have you believe that being able to run really fast = game breaking ability.

Substance over style everyday of the week.

 

[m7jebus]

Well done, Dyson... but I'm surprised by this, to be honest. I'd have had someone like Andrew Gaff well ahead of Heppell for this one.

 

[Rocky_Star_Pro]

The Norf folk will have you believe that being able to run really fast = game breaking ability.

Substance over style everyday of the week.

These same Norf folk started a thread saying Gavin Urquhart will be better than Scott Pendlebury circa 2008. They just can't accept the fact Heppell will be a superstar and will be three times the player Atley will be
