Brain was slower than the leg speed tonight .

 

[Vander18]

he has played alright this year when he doesn't have to defend.

Exactly. He’s been solid enough ball in hand but he’s a defensive liability.

 

[bommer16]

Wasn’t just him last night.

 

[Yoda_]

this !


Hep was under par but he had a few mates that didn't show up

[Shanghaistu]

This is the problem. He is not self aware at all. You saw how shocked he was last year when he was subbed off against Hawthorn after his horrific performance almost cost us that game. He is currently an anchor weighing down the team with his comical lack of pace. It feels like we are playing a player down with him limping around on the field. He must be Omitted from the squad. If he sooks it is what it is.

100% this - and I was also taught that self-awareness was the number one trait of successful leadership …. So we’re letting someone who’s totally un self-aware set the example of leadership at Essendon

 

[boncer34]

Would've been on the goal line.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

Probably should be in ahead of Kelly.

 

[BomberTime]

I saw yesterday that he has hopes of going on next year.

I love him, has been so good for our club.

However, I would hope we say a huge thanks to him for all the shit we put him through, give him a farewell game and be professional and say we need that list spot.

 

[ant555]

Think that the fact that his output has reached the point where it really is far worse than what he can offer on the leadership front and he has been left out of the side would indicate that his race is run.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Straight back in..

 

[andleanback]

Of course he’s straight back in without actually having to do play vfl. Might aswell just called him managed. They’ll let him crawl to 300 at this rate

 

[TheFrenchCut]

You send that message, Brad!

 

[div12ressie]

Nice Brad!

 

[MightyDon]

His leadership has been give everyone an encouragement award we’ve never been keeping score in games

The race to 300 is back on

 

[ant555]

The race to 300 is back on

We will see.

 

[yodellinhank]

The race to 300 is back on

I don't see any reason to stop there

 

[katana]

Wellp, if you don't laugh you'll cry.

 

[jmoo wan]

we lost to Adelaide without him....

You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want him in that backline-- you need him on that backline

 

[katana]

no i'd like him off the list

At least he'd have kept spirits up with a joke or two.

 

[mmmifff]

We keep Sheedy on the board, why wouldn’t we keep Heppell on the field?

It’s simply extraordinary that they still cannot make hard decisions.

Opposite way, as an example, was Hawthorn with both Hodge and Mitchell.

Kelly is injured so he’s probably the natural replacement

Sheedy didn't vote for this. You keep that in mind when brad brings boomer harvey out of retirement.
