AFL Player #21: Dyson Heppell aka Farnsy

[Lore]

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

 

[akiva]

After copping an almighty pasting after the Melbourne game he has turned his season around in a big way. Not only has his form been blistering, his onfield leadership has noticeably improved. Leading from the front and doing the heavy lifting superbly despite it not suiting his natural game.

On the subject of coaches votes, he's killing it. Votes in 9 games, polled in every victory bar the Brisbane game where he was clear best on in what was looking like his best performance of the year, with 9 disposals and two goals before being knocked out early in the second. His influence is highly underrated by the unwashed masses.

6 vs Crows
6 vs Port
2 vs Carlton
6 vs Geelong
9 vs GWS
3 vs West Coast
4 vs Norf
4 vs Collingwood
10 vs Gold Coast

Maybe Smith doesn't have the B&F wrapped up after all..

 

[Kyptastic]

Gee, if he didn't get knocked out against Brisbane he'd be well in the top 5 or 6.

Pretty good for a player who's not in the top 40 midfielders of the competition apparently.

 

[Halftimehero]

I reckon his game yesterday has been a bit underrated, 26 disposals at 81%, 13 contested, 4 inside 50's, 4 tackles and 9 CLEARANCES is a super performance. Love this bloke.

If Razzle Dazzle didn’t kick 5 andhave 19, Smith would arguably have been BOG

Climbs further up the coaches votes leaderboard and now sitting equal 8th, not bad for a bloke not in the top 100 players/50 midfielders.

Probably sneaks past Fyfe as well with him missing at least 3 more games. Sneaky Brownlow chance?

 

[westking]

He is having a great year. Still wish he would cut his hair properly.

Don't see him a chance of winning without a big back end, but he's in ripping form and currently paying $101 on Sportsbet, which feels overs.

He already shaved it off mate

Yeah, just did a sneaky fiver each way on him. If he finishes 3rd I still win $130

It’s not sneaky because you have told us mate haha

ATTENTION: SMALL MONETARY WAGER PLACED ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF DYSON HEPPELL WINNING OR PLACING IN THE BROWNLOW MEDAL.

 

[doug85]

Equal 7th...

 

[Kyptastic]

If we win and he has a good game, he’ll easily be top 5 after the round

 

[mayhem20202]

So, if he gets enough votes to overtake the guys between him and the top 5, he’ll be in the top 5? Well, that’s for the insight....

The depth of my thinking knows no bounds

 

[eDPS]

Had a real stinker today, hoping he bounces back next week and has a big one

 

[Zach Package]

Shouldn't have played, pulled up short in the warm up and saw him having a good 5 minute chat with the physios and the docs before the game

 

[Zach Package]

And there you go

 

[Beerfish]

Who would've come in?

 

[Doss]

Who would've come in?

Laverde, being the other emergency, I guess.

 

[Zach Package]

VFL schedule ****ed us again.

Laverde was on the field at North Port at the time, and we already had to use two of the other emergencies for Dea and Guelfi

 

[Beerfish]

Laverde, being the other emergency, I guess.

Yeah I didn't see the team sheets.

Well I back the skipper's gut backing himself. He still got it 25 times with 6 tackles.

Guess it doesn't really matter now anyway because this game was do or die.

Well there you go.

The VFL scheduling this year was an utter dogs breakfast (I now appreciate why you were so pissed off at it, eth-dog) and this is a prime example.

 

[Zach Package]

Look, he could well have been fine and played a s**t one but he didn’t look great and I’d suspect that’s the reason
