Very good young kid, one of the big chances to win the RS.
If i was starting a team from scratch though i wouldn't look past Zac Smith as the #1 choice from this years crop.

Heppell will win the Rising Star, there is no doubt about that. Had it in the bag once Swallow didn't win the nomination in round one.
Shuey will be the better player though.

Loving the move to the midfield from half-back and it shows. Is probably an ideal wingman in the old style of game. No doubt that he'll take the Rising Star award now..
I think Heppell will be the better player but it is just that, an opinion. Both clubs would be happy with their respective pick ups
Won't matter as Shuey will be in the red and black soon enough as well. That is a guarantee.

while i rate heppell not hard to compare cheap possessions off half back against some pretty ordinary players with contested possessions in the mid field where the best players in the AFL roam for Swallow or Shuey up against Judd,Pendlebury,Murphy,JSelwood,Bartel,Swan etc ,etc then hardened taggers with bigger bodies looking to tackle and harress and stop them getting easy ball .
Heppell has played his two best games this year against the two best sides in the competition, Geelong and Collingwood. Enough said.
None of this "getting cheap possessions" & "playing on nobody" rubbish that delusionals who clearly don't watch much of Essendon continually come up with to discredit the kid.

Huge game...Favorite for RS no doubt.
Ill take the guy who runs through the midfield and hits up i50 targets over the guy who can handball 3m in a bit of traffic.... Thanks anyway.
Sure he looked pretty composed but so many of his possessions rarely went more than a a couple of metres and if it was easily accessible, the metres gained statistic would have Shuey probably closer to 2-3x more damaging

"probably"... oh sure
Incredible that it's a West Coast supporter saying this. Who'd have thought it.Heppell has been way more consistent than Shuey and his best is sublime. Shuey is obviously a gun, I just don't get the insecurity that people have where they need to bag another player to pump their own up

Yep.
Shuey's best games have been against the 16th placed Power and against the Bulldogs in a 123 point belting. Hardly sighted against Collingwood. Let's see how he goes next week.

Heppell has been very good, but isn't it a bit premature to say he is the best of the draft after just 15 rounds?

Lynch would be the player i would single out as a clear standout of this draft on potential. Just has the best balance of football smarts, skills and athletic ability.
He will no doubt take some time to come along but he's just a very rare player.
This thread isn't about the Rising Star folks.

He may or may not end up the best from this draft but I feel very satisfied that we've picked a player who performs on the big stage

are you new here?
Point taken, if he has a bad week next week there will be a new thread 'Heppell- Over rated flog' and so on
Twit. Heppell didn't play back last night. The back six were Pears, Hurley, Fletcher, Hardingham, Hibberd and McVeigh. Heppell played midfield.

Yes, let's praise the loose man in defence. Essendon love dong this... i.e. Fletcher.
What about the players actually contributing in the guts?

are you completely stupid? He wasn't a loose man in defence. He has never played as a loose man in defence.

Yeah ok.... Take off your rose coloured sunglasses. He does not play on the dangerous forwards. His disposals are link plays or bombs out of the back line. Swallow is taking on the elite mids in the comp. You wonder why Heppell is performing ok? Because he isn't in the thick of it, he's being sheltered (which is what should be happening). But this thread is saying he is the best of the draft. What a ridiculous statement.
so you don't even understand what "loose man in defence" means. Remarkable.
You should try to understand modern footy

I don't understand loose man in defence? Is the phrase not self explanatory?
You flat out denying he doesn't play the role means nothing. Who do you think you are?
