[Jobe Watson]

Won't get near the Brownlow (or top 5 for that matter) but he's an absolute gun.

I remember a year or two ago comparing him in playing style and potentially ability to Scott Pendlebury and getting massacred by opposition supporters who still saw him as a soft**** that wouldn't take the next step. He's tracking pretty well at the moment. If Heppell continues to improve his kicking and decision making, nothing stopping him from becoming a top 5 mid in the league.

Needs to kick more goals before he is truly elite *









* argued with a mate on FB that he does enough for a 22 year old second year full time AFL midfielder for which he replied "he still needs to kick more goals"

 

[Kakkle]

20 goals
23 behinds
37 goal assists

That's not to bad, considering how little he has played forward of centre.

Jesus, is that right?

That's unreal for - as you say - a guy that's played 90% midfield, 10% back (earlier in the year).

For his career yep. That's at least one direct score involvement per game over his career. (Not including scoring chains he is apart of)

Ah. I thought you were saying for this year.

Still, pretty decent.

 

[craffles]

Tune into ch31 to see jobe and dyson on thats good for footy right now

 

[Matthew_Lloyd]

Holy s**t

 

[Autobahn]

Can't help but wonder what award he'll pick up this year. He's done so since the TAC.

 

[Bomberblitzer]

How much better can he get? 15 disposals in the last, absolutely willed us across the line.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

This guy, at this stage of his career, makes you think he's from another planet!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Pick 8 lol 7 teams are kidding themselves

 

[Jobe]

38 Disposals with the tag?
He will be slower with all those Brownlow's around his neck later in his career.

Absolute star.

This would win me over $3,000! Pleeeeeassase!

This just keeps getting me firm.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It will be such a luxury once Hepp gets the tag and Jobe runs free

 

[Vander18]

Heppell emerging as a genuine star will profoundly impact our team...both he and the skip can turn a game so who do you go to? Heppell is comfortably now the additional A-grader that we needed to take heat off Jobe.

Put too much attention into both and the improved Zaka and Myers get off the chain and you have the experienced BJ and Chappy as well. Just a blisteringly quick outside mid away from one of the best midfields in the comp.

 

[DHRD]

So much love for this kid. Absolute star. Scary to think he is only 22.............

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Think how good he will be at 25 yes I'll be hard thinking of it! Yes my appologies

 

[Essendonia]

Sir Dyson

 

[Halloween Jack]

I love him

 

[CakeButcher]

Up to $7.00 in the Brownlow, FEAR THE HAIR!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Amazing. May end up the best player in the comp

 

[Kong]

The kid's just a freak.
