That’s 2 weeks Heppell has not played VFL. Is he too upset being dropped from the AFL to play VFL or is there an injury that we are not told about?

Gold Coast has again rung the changes as it tries to bust back into the top six against Essendon at Windy Hill on Saturday.

The Suns trail sixth-placed Southport, which has a bye, by a win and roughly 11 goals of percentage, so will be looking for a big win to close the gap before their respective home games against Casey Demons and North Melbourne in the last round.

AFL selection changes mean Ned Moyle, Brayden Fiorini and Joel Jeffreyreturn in place of Jed Walter, Jake Rogers and Connor Budarick, while Will Rowlands returns from a three-week suspension to replace Jy Farrar on top of a couple of Academy swaps.

Heppell not playing VFL is a bit weird.

Good to see Goldy playing though.

interesting they are trying lual forward again this week. think he may be under some pressure.

Backline looks good.
Perkins will get good midfield
time without setterfield there.

Really annoyed with no Heppell in the VFL.
He would be enormous tutoring some of the young kids in so many facets of the game.
This really is a missed opportunity.

Stants did his time in VFL in his last year and it was invaluable coaching on the ground for the young ‘uns.
