AFL Player #21: Dyson Heppell aka Farnsy

[Lore]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 27, Highly Evolved

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Thought he was excellent. Played his role, clean disposal, excellent decision making under pressure, took key marks and won contests outnumbered. Not a single cheap possession. Certainly didnt rack up the ball but I far prefer this version of him, than the one that runs around getting 25 touches to the pocket.

 

[Vander18]

Have to say - he’s been clean, he’s been brave and he’s been winning or halving his 1:1’s.

His lack of speed hurts defensively but he’s been solid in the contest and with ball in hand.

I remember when we drafted him and he stepped straight into the side.... the kid could play.

Can still play. Just keeps doing what he does. Doesn't lose too many contests and is generally good with the ball.

Is not getting overly exposed on pace so he may have a few more years left.

He has always been a bit slow. He is putting together a pretty solid year.

i’d offer him another two years now before opposition comes sniffing

I know Gold Coast is very interested. Might need to up it to 3.

 

[VelvetSledge]

He's a renaissance man

Hes a pretty loyal guy, I think he'd like to stay a 1-club player

Would be good if we could double his speed
Having a really good year . If he could run faster than 10km an hour he would be in the top 30 players in the comp.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Hepp's been fantastic with Ridley out injured. I think he will still have a fair bit to offer when he comes back too. He just needs to keep playing his role and it'll all come together. This has been his best season in a while.
