Change the title of the thread to Dyson “Two Dads” Turner-Heppell.
Genuinely shocking I know.
Has he actually changed his name??
The law firm ‘Dyson, Turner, Heppell’
I prefer Dewey, Cheatem & Howe (borrowed from The 3 Stooges).
Dys, is a great bloke, but having followed he and his wife on the socials for some time, I seriously think he’s punching well above….
Mrs HT seems a quality human.
Best wishes to them both.
…and Dyson isnt?
Dyson on The Front Bar tonight.
“G’day fellas yeah don’t mind a few frothies” shakas
HAYTCH
If nothing else he’s a genuine guy. and his relationship with young Harrison is really heartwarming.
On the Front Bar now. He’s such a nice guy.
Speaks so so highly of Essendon.
Very good guy, what a time to spend your career at Essendon. Loyal, brave and genuine. A Bombers champ who deserved far far better than what he got.
You are selling the man way short, if you think that is all there is to him. He spoke very well and in depth about his career and his singular ability to look at everything in a positive manner, even though the time he spent leading the team was the toughest any captain in the league has had, ever. Then he spoke glowingly of young Haytch and how inspiring this kid has been along the journey.
How different he was to the first guest on tonight, head honcho of the AFL, Andrew Dillon. The man was a walking, talking cliche. Every answer was like it was direct from a typed script and he dared not deviate from it for moment, bland middle management speak from start to finish. TBF to the panel, they didn’t let him off easily, and were not afraid to ask some pointed questions. The answers however, were very predictable cut and paste jobs. He is the most vanilla of all AFL heads.
Dys was brilliant- so proud of all he has achieved both on and off the field. A top quality human being.
Edit: really worth a watch if you haven’t seen it. Front Bar
The neutrals rated him.
I’m kidding i know what a great bloke Dys is
Please dont confuse Heppell with Watson.
I’m a couple of weeks behind on The Front Bar but just watched Dyson on there and what an absolute legend the man is. Some things are bigger than the actual game and he is right in the thick of it. I might be biased as well because one of the games late in the season I think it was last year and when he was running off to the bench in the last quarter and my son was on the front row and called out to heps and he came over and shook my son’s hand. The game was still going and it made the tv and my son was pretty popular at school on the Monday ![]()
Was a great footballer, turned ordinary but always a great person……
