Is that what you call 1% body fat?

It looks like hs guts and torso have shrunk to the size of 12b lead pencil.

Definitely a Dys size guernsey that one. I think he always gets a size too small though?

Looking good Dys...I recently worked for a couple days with an ex rookie list player (not Ess) who's now with a VFL side & of course is in the middle of preseason...fit? fmd, it's one thing to see the pic's, it's another when you're working with them & it sorta kinda feels at times like they aren't human when compared to the rest of us mere mortals.

He looks as skinny / tiny as his brother in that shot.

 

[Donakebab]

Everything about the photo looks weird. Skinny af, left peg looks like a twig, head looks like a long jellybean... not to mention he's something is seriously wrong with both his hands. Poor bugger, get well soon Dys.

 

[daffo]

photo must have been stretched.

 

[Autobahn]

photo must have been stretched.

Wide angle lenses have all kinds of weird barrel distortion. The angle doesn't help either with the photographer being too lazy to stand up, or is an actual midget.

I think this guy will take his game to another level with more scoreboard impact. Pfft they say Fyfe and Dangerfield

 

[hurlygurdy]

I was watching/reading an interview somewhere a while ago, apparently he has a lot of Bluey-isms. They spend more time trying to figure out what he wants than actually doing it

Call me pedantic but I hated the way he was talking about getting the ball from contested to uncontested. It was time wasting obvious bullshit that makes people disconnect with the speaker. These guys have spent their entire careers trying to get the ball clear from the contest. Why the * do you want to play 20 questions with bleeding obvious?!

 

[Bombermania]

You suggesting he will share the Brownlow with Zerrett? Any team ever done that?

I think it nearly happen in 1986 or 1987

 

[Halorad]

I think it nearly happen in 1986 or 1987

Kerr and Cousins also went close

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Fit and firing and will be spending some time forward and play a more attacking style of footy, could we see his best season yet this year?

that is the weirdest ******* photo of all time

 

[Bombermania]

Hep looks underfed in that photo but looking at his social media, he has a well developed six pack.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

dam dodgy supplement program side effects

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

 

[Lance Uppercut]

So perfect

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Looks like he has been on a caloric deficit this pre-season or something

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Wonder if Dys will be on AFL 360 again.

He's been pretty rubbish in front of goals so far in his career hasn't he?

 

[Bombers_95]

Will be announced as captain tomorrow! Great choice

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Also the leadership group

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Will be announced as captain tomorrow! Great choice

Agree he's ready and wants to.

 

[Nantes]

Sorry, intrusion.

Does anyone happen to have or know how to find an online image of Heppell with Tipungwuti? Doesn't matter if it's training, casual, etc. I'd like to find a pic for an essendon supporting old family member (her two current favourite players).

Essendon set to name Dyson Heppell as captain for 2017

Herald Sun
February 7, 2017 8:24pm

DYSON Heppell could be named captain of Essendon as early as Wednesday.

Heppell, 24, is widely expected to take the role, replacing Brendon Goddard, who did the job in 2016 after six-year skipper Jobe Watson was rubbed out for the year on a doping charge.

The Bombers are due to play an intra-club match at Tullamarine on Wednesday morning.

Herald Sun columnist and Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd said Heppell, who also sat out 2016, was the right candidate.

“Dyson is the total package, in my opinion,” Lloyd said on 3AW.

“He’s the perfect age to take over.”

 

[JayJ20]

Captain Doisen!

Dyson: "Yeah nah look its grouse to be captain and I'm stoked but we have to focus on getting the boys ready"
