He's been here for 9 of our 20 years of mediocrity as an inside midfielder which equates to the centreman or ruckrover.
This was Dodo’s biggest f**k up!

Doing a bit more reading this morning, Port board is also not entirely convinced Houston is staying and thinks a trade that involves Parish for Houston could be what's being workshopped.

Their supporters threw up Parish + EFC First for Houston, but I'd have thought a player swap is about correct weight? Have to give quality to get quality and Houston for Parish would help re-balance our midfield and open up opportunities for Hobbs and Tsatas next year.

Houston is a gun but I wouldn’t want to sell the farm for him. He’s highly unlikely to be playing or challenging for a premiership at Essendon.

I’d prefer Houston nets Port 2 late first round picks and we get one of those for Parish IF Parish is being shipped off. Take Armstrong with our first pick and Kako with our second round pick and our forward line is potentially set for the next 10 years.

He’s won as many All-Australians as Heppell who some have labeled a legend of the club.

By that logic Zach Merrett is also a failure since he’s been around for 11 of the 20 years.

Simon Madden, Timmy Watson, Hird and Sheedy are legends of Essendon.

You're right, Heppell is probably worse.
