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

 

[Rack Watts]

Dyson Heppell should be captain as of next year.
Let Jobe see us through the WADA bullshit, then let him get through the career as somebody without the pressure of captaincy.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

Thank goodness for this champion. Love you, Dys.

 

[Essendonia]

How the boys couldn't follow his lead, I do not know.

 

[DT2000]

He bleeds red and black, captain from 2016 onwards and build the team around him.

Has bled it since his birth.

Dice is Essendon.
Essendon is Dice.

Just listened to his post match interview and was really impressed. He cops a little bit for his laid back approach in the media (yeah, nah. Good on ya guys...") but like I said, really impressed. Honest and direct whilst shielding his teammates and coaching staff, you could visibly see the hurt that the loss caused him, and there's unmistakable resolve in his tone too. Very lucky to have him at the club.

I was very impressed by his post-match also.

Definitely future captain.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Really starting to hit the scoreboard the last five weeks which is pleasing.

2,1,0,1,2

Need that consistently and he'll be a top five in the comp midfielder.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Wow, he's only two more goals away from third in our goal kicking...

That's incredibly sad.

 

[Coldacre]

The ideal 3rd men up would be Melksham or Hibberd.

the ideal last man up would be Melksham.

He only kicked 1 this week...

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I love Dyson Heppell.

 

[JDavey]

He only kicked 1 this week...

But it was a fantastic captain's goal when we needed it the most! Counts for two right?!

 

[Doss]

100th game for Hepp this weekend.

 

[windyhill]

Can I just say I had the 21 on juniors back very early on in his debut year. How's that for a pat on the back !?! ****ing love this boy.

100th game for Hepp this weekend.

How bout we win one of these milestone games for once.

Feels like doise has been around for longer than 100 games. What a gun.

 

[Charliebrow 16]

My favourite current Essendon player. Love you, Dys - let's get a win!

100th game for Hepp this weekend.

Got me thinking that the expansion clubs are going to have a truckload of milestone games coming up in the next 18 months with all the guys drafted together.

 

[daffo]

Well done Dice. Congrats on 100.

 

[Jade]

So personally, I think to celebrate his 100th, he should get on the job with the missus immediately following the game.

She'd be too busy shredding up his personal belongings, in a wood chipper.

I absolutely love Dyson ................ Yes, he's a great player and undoubtedly a future captain. Yes, he's won all those individual honours (Rising Star, Crichton, All-Australian etc etc). Yes, he's been one of our best and most consistent performers over the last 4 years ....................... But more than that, when things were really dark for the club, he had no hesitation in signing a contract extension.................. I look forward to him winning the Norm Smith.

Footy Show tomorrow night

Gee, our milestone games have been atrocious this year.
