Retired #21: Dyson Heppell - Goodnight, sweet prince. What a legend! 🤙 - 24/8

[Lore]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 27, Highly Evolved

 

[rines]

Nothing changes for footy fans.. player comparisions and debates that can never have a successful conclusion...

Hird, Buckley and Voss are still being compared and debated.. not just for playing career but for coaching too!

Heppell, Fyfe, Cotchin.. you would take them all without hesitation and I believe they will all be true guns by the end of their careers...!

Whilst I would have Fyfe slightly ahead in the 'school yard pick' selections.. wouldn't be crying too hard at Heppell coming next!!

Midfield of Watson, Goddard inside, Zaka, Heppell, Stanton on the outside.. with melksham, hocking, myers, jetta, kav, dempsey to rotate through/wingers... very very tasty!!

Heppell to be top 3 in crichton this year and top 15 overall brownlow night in 2013

But it still deifes the point of the thread and in the end, it is the wrong place to be discussing it. Boards are effective when discussions are contained in specific threads which are .......for that discussion point.

Fair point.

As a tip, I guess, I've effectively steered the conversation away from the last topic on to this one with one simple post (and title edit).

Start a discussion about anything else, and odds are good this stuff will be forgotten pretty quickly.

How is Fyfe over-rated on what he has produced. Second place in the B and F in his second year - And Freo supporters will tell you that he was robbed.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Winning fans all over the shop:

Any suggestions?? Got caught out with not having enough DPP last year so I have picked a few.

Backs: Goddard, Gibbs, Duffield, Johncock, Valastuin, Goodes - Terlich Staker
Mids: Swan, Murphy, Heppell, Harlett, Ball, Varcoe, Crouch, O'Meara - Viney Mayes
Rucks: Goldstein Leuenberger - Rowe, Currie
Forwards: Franklin, Cox, Martin, Watts, Broughton, Monfries - Stringer, Macaffer.

thanks

 

[Drummer_19]

Should have him in defense

 

[Beerfish]

Didn't realise they'd started giving points for backing out of contests..

 

[The Bomb]

That 1/2 of footy he played vs GWS was easily the best he has played as a pure midfielder at AFL level, we could finally have 5 bloke who could push mid 20s to 30s poss games, in recent years we have only ever had 2 or 3. Best part is they all can kick goals when resting forward.

Watson
Stanton
Goddard
Zaharakis
Heppell

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

Myers can do it too, even Hocking on his day

 

[The Bomb]

with Goddard, Stanton and Watson taking the tags, I can see Zaharakis and Heppell getting a crap load of the ball this season.

My pick for BOG tonight.

I think Heppell followed closely by Zaka are the biggest benefactors of Goddard's arrival...

Keeps Heppell on the 'outside' of packs and leaves Zaka to play 4th Mid which could lead to some really fast transition play and clearances from stoppages.

Rekon Heppell will be played inside, just as he has done through the preseason.

Good call.

We can't have Heppell playing on Dangerfield again.

 

[TD]

Backed him for the brownlow at 250/1. Reckon he will announce himself as a gun midfielder this year. He will certainly be noticed by the umps as well.

 

[m7jebus]

How'd we all rate his game tonight? I liked his work on the inside, looking very good right in the thick of it.

 

[The Bomb]

I thought Heppell was our best player early when we needed it the most, faded out of the game late but played really well.

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

Wow, he is huge. He may even overtake Jobe as our best player by the end of. (Big alcohol call)

 

[Knight Ryders]

Set for a very big year

Why would we want to keep him outside for? He was looking very good in the middle in the pre season and i think he will continue that. Just watch out when he gets a more powerful frame!

 

[TD]

I think Heppell will benefit from the sliding rule. He is very good at keeping his feet in the middle of a pack.

Haha the North flogs will be ropeable. How long before they start calling it the Heppell rule?

 

[Donakebab]

Played well, disposal was average at best, however a lot to like for the season ahead.

 

[Darealrath]

Was hilarious when he sold the dummy at half forward pretending to kick on his right

 

[Zach Package]

Dyson has one hell of a media career in front of him.

Hilariously bogan on TFS

Probably one of the most confident talkers at the club. That's from an outside perspective. I don't really know how they all act. He and jobe probably best at it from what I can tell, zaka perhaps but he speaks super fast.
