did a quick review of hepps first qtr.
of his 11 disposals
2 direct kicks to port players.
2 were handballs directly to players who had a man on him and was in a worse position than him
2 looping kicks, one to tippa, one to begley in the middle on defesnive 50. begley had to jump high but maybe could and should have marked it
3 disposals hit their target, 2 were 2 meter handballs to players, and one was the hit up lead of stewart on the wing, even that one was a high kick, but i’ll give him that he meant it so stewart could jump and outmark his opponent.
2 were just kicks to 50/50 contests, neither good nor bad.
His effort was there yesterday, but his decision making and skill is below woeful at present.
Until he gets more confidence back, someone needs to tell him dermie mantra, know your limitations son, and pinpoint passes in traffic is not your go hepp, so stop trying to do it.
Watch the video on the club website with the full press conference if you want context.
There are a few things that are questionable but most of what he says is spot on
BJ differs in emphasis. Treat it like another game. Dont get overawed by the buildup and the hype surrounding it. Its worth the same as any other game ( in points)
Most important, concentrate on winning it, not just “participating in it”
I know he is the captain and more is probably expected of him but my hat still goes off to Dyson…After training today he was out there patiently giving autographs and taking photos for twice as long as the next player whilst thanking the crowd for coming out. What a legend. I just hope he puts some ice on his forearm after all the signature.
