#21 Dyson "Go jam it” Heppell - 200th game this week (Part 1)

I thought he was OK today but it’s oretty clear to me he is not a leader, not the man to captain us

Utter embarrassment to the club. This ■■■■■■■ skilless clown couldn’t lead a dog to a bowl of pal. As long as he is the face of the club, we are going nowhere. Have a look at him. Looks like a ■■■■■■■ hobo. Plays like one too.

That’s a shame. I’ve heard he speaks very highly of you. :wink:

You mate are a a pure 24 carat Richard Edward.

What kind of midfielder is Heppell? He’s not a strong bodied inside, he’s not a hard running outside. He’s not a goal kicking mid or a defensive shutdown mid. He’s not a tough in and under mid, nor the inspirational come with me type. I like Dyson but he’s blandness sums up the entire team. I cant help but think the hair and beard is the only way he can stand out.

Dyson would look much better in a better midfield.

He ideally would be the third or fourth best mid in a good side.

Personally I think he’s a very good player. Go back and watch his game vs Hawks in R1 2017.

Its poor coaching wrecking this team.

He is a HBF and a good one. Reads the play well, is a great mark and courageous as they come. His weaknesses such as kicking and being burned on the turnover aren’t as exposed on the half back line.
Unfortunately our midfield is absolute tripe and he is needed in there. Hoping his career isn’t damaged by inept coaching and list management.

What? Surely he didn’t actually say that?

Fights hard but his disposal is horrendous.

Yep, he did, it was a fox footy cross to Heppell after the game.

Wow…just wow

I’m not a savage on here as some about Hepp.

I think he is having a serious dip ‘most’ of the time. I think he says all the right things your supposed to say.

But his kicking has become a serious liability, he isn’t alone in that department.

The problem for me goes back to the basic of the leader-follower philosophy. Leaders lead by creating followers, followed follow leaders. It’s sounds basic and obvious, but it’s so often missed in assessing leadership positions.

Hepp is leading, the way knows and thinks he should. Problem is nobody is following. I see this as the same with a Woosha. At some point either of them have to find away to get the team to follow them or they will die lonely failures from the group perspective.

The sad part is, if there is no intervention soon I could invisiage a need to trade Hepp at the end of Woosha contract should they continue to fail.

He isn’t a half back but he isn’t a big bull stoppage specialist mid either and he never was that type of player.
His best football was played sweeping around the contest while Jobe was winning the first possession. He doesn’t have that option at the moment because we have no one there who is able to provide what Jobe was able to.
As for his kicking woes, you can cop some of the hack kicks forward under pressure but there is no excuse for missing his targets in space like he has been.

Need a new Captain. But don’t ask me who.

Good interview. Wasn’t keen on him bagging out player disposal considering his is so average too

It has me worried that the players hurting the most, based on their interviews are the ones that are also so damaging to the team with their actions. so we’re gonna see forwards get dropped because the midfield cbf moving when we’re trying to get it out of our defence…
