Dyson and the guy from the subway ads?

Shh, truth is, thats was part of the Dank dungeon program to perfect human cloning.

So Dank is this guy?

 

[Charliebrow 16]

How did Aaron perform in the VFL last year? Did he show any glimpses?

 

[Keystone agony]

Whens the right time for Heppell to become captain?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Whens the right time for Heppell to become captain?

2016

 

[Keystone agony]

2016

Ill go with 2017 i think Jobe will be going strong for 2 more years and wouldnt mind Heppell to get a bit more experience still. He inevitably will be a captain of the club its just a matter of when.

 

[Kakkle]

How did Aaron perform in the VFL last year? Did he show any glimpses?

Barely VFL standard.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Barely VFL standard.

Unfortunate, but thanks for the information. I think merely because it's the Heppell name, I'm hoping for some miracle turnaround in form this year.

 

[eth-dog]

How did Aaron perform in the VFL last year? Did he show any glimpses?

He was alright. Wouldn't expect too much from him for another few years yet.

 

[Zach Package]

Barely VFL standard.

I reckon he could make a good fist of a VFL career if he wasn't so shoved to the periphery, which is unfortunately the nature of the beast with our kind of set up

 

[daffo]

How did Aaron perform in the VFL last year? Did he show any glimpses?

He was decent at VFL level. I would be extremely surprised if he went any further than that.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

He's almost at 100 games!

SHIT!

Now waiting for when Watson hands the captaincy to Heppell.

 

[eth-dog]

Want him to kick 15-20 goals this season

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Want him to kick 15-20 goals this season

How many touches?

700+?

 

[eth-dog]

How many touches?

700+?

I'm not worried about overall disposals, I'd rather look for over 100 clearances and over 300 CP's.

 

[Ashton Agar]

How did Aaron perform in the VFL last year? Did he show any glimpses?

Gets games for the Heppell name only.

Whens the right time for Heppell to become captain?

I still feel privileged to have Jobe Watson as captain of my club, it's his until he wants to give it away.

That's a bit harsh. He showed a bit. Not a lot, but he could make it at VFL level.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Needs to hit the scoreboard more the only thing that's missing from his game.

 

[Ashton Agar]

Can't see it happening unfortunately.

Kicking.
