No doubt Heppell is a good player. Many of us see more upside in Reece. There's a bit of Gary Ablett about him. With the right development he can become elite. Time will tell. Don't forget that Gary Ablett took several years to be a great player. Reece is just starting his second.
Unlike you I think he'll turn out the better player but I am probably a glass half full person while you tend to be a glass three quarter empty one. I know we have heard the patience line countless times. This one is palpably different. If you feel carefully there is a pulse santa. And it is getting stronger and stronger and stronger. It will still take a while (one to two years) but the beast will get up off the mat and will start to be the hunter rather than the hunted!
thats all good i think conca a good selection despite my preference for heppell.you can certainly see why they took him and he may well end up a better player than heppell im just stating a preference.
hmm ive never ever preached anything but patience. the only thing im impatient with is the retention of long term underachievers.
