I’d start sizing up the 21 for Archie now if I was you Dyson

 

[mcgrath_truther]

the violin has started on his career

 

[Megabattimus]

Hope he doesn't come back. And I say that as someone that loves Heppell.

Pretty shit to not even play VFL tbh

Held over emergency in case of injury in the warm up etc.

Thank you Dyson! See you in the next life

We have two home games left for the season; GCS and Sydney. Final round is away in Brisbane.

I'll assume he's playing at least one of those home games as a farewell match.

 

[Goat Hird]

Imagine he plays on next year lol

 

[MightyDon]

Should finish in the VFL

 

[Donakebab]

If we're serious he only gets a farewell if/when finals are out of the picture. If we make finals and it doesn't happen then so be it, he had already had an over the top 250th this year, that will have to do.

If course we're not serious though so he'll be back this week.

i wish truck were here, he'd say no.

 

[Howard Moon]

Sif he's not in for Duursma..

I'll spew up if it's not setters

 

[ghostdog]

Call it a day, bro. The sun has set.

Hopefully he gets a farewell game in this Saturday against the Suns. At 1:05pm.

 

[Shanghaistu]

No farewell game since he’s working on his next contract instead. The club PR can’t read the room and thinks the fan base is looking forward to seeing more commitment to our loyal servants versus being ruthless

 

[nipst@r]

Is dyson on the same deal as dodo and signs his own contract?

Looking forward to 2025 hep.

But deserves a farewell game this week or next, I'd wait until next as likely more injuries again and were out if finals I'd we lose, worst case we just drop could drop kelly or cox for him next week.

 

[ant555]

He can go around the ground in the ute at the first home game next year as a farewell. He got to 250 games . Enough is enough.

 

[DERO]

Dyson is a wonderful person.
I think it would be fitting for him to give his jumper to a young dreadlocked Isaac Kako next year.
A farewell game against Gold Coast would be really fitting.
Not sure we owe goldy a goodbye game.

Has Goldy triggered an extra year? Thought I’d heard somewhere that he was down for two.

I hope not...

So Dusty and Tomahawk have called it quits - make it a trifecta Hepp!

Would be fitting for three modern greats to call time on the same day.

 

[Shanghaistu]

Nothing against Hepp, but I’ll know this club has really turned the corner if he retires without a ‘farewell game’ and we just play the team that’s best for our strategy week-in-week-out regardless of who we think we ‘owe’

Unfortunately he's a saga player so it doesn't seem to work quite like that.

 

[BomberManU]

Surely getting him to 250 games was enough??? Come on mate, pull the pin.

 

[P Money]

I'm ok with a farewell game if and when finals are a mathematical impossibility. My real worry is if we make finals we'll 'owe him' a crack at winning a final before he retires

Surely he wouldn't feel an inch of sadness if he didn't?

Whilst I doubt it'll be an issue as I don't expect us to make a final this year, I have no doubt he'd be playing if we did.
