Well they were the first 2 I was actually thinking of. Throw in Heppel, who I know has plenty of question marks from our board, but he is well and truly gunna be a star, has Pendlebury like qualities. Didn't play today but Hurley is another. I like how hard Bellchambers competes too, fair bit of **** in him. Dempsey prob won't be an A grader, but he's playing our Altley/Mullet role as well as we'd like.
Their already there A graders are obviously Watson and Bj, plus Fletcher is an A grade defender IMO.
They sh*t me but they've got some quality.
Goddard was for about 12 months 3 years ago. Hurley is probably the most overated player on output in the comp.

They were great this time last year. The pressure, the effort. When that drops way and talent was required they were horrendous.

Agree on bellchambers he has some real presence about him. Watched heppell closely today and has got to be the biggest receiver in the league. Floats around like a fairy at the back of packs looking to receive, most overhyped player in the league.

He is Essendon's Sidebottom.

They can't all be inside clearance machines though Spitta, something we definitely don't lack.......but **** me I'd love Cunners and Spiita to be giving him the ball in our side. If he played for us we'd be stoked.

Goddard another I'd happily see delivering the ball into our fwd line. Think because he's such a sook and acts a bit like a c**khead people forget how good he is by foot.
We get Lachie attacking each and every contest as Hurley does and there would never be drop Loogie Hansen calls again.

In saying all that, hope they end up top 4 then get 16 players suspended or 2 years.

There's a place for good receivers/outside players and I reckon Heppell is a very good young player. He took a couple of pressure marks today backing back and didn't flinch.

Does anyone seriously think he wouldn't be in our best 22?

Not saying he isnt a good player, he would comfortably be in our best 22. I just can't stand the amount of hype he gets considering the type of player he is. He had almost zero impact on today's game don't be fooled by dream team scores and possession counts. There are better young players out there who don't get the plaudits. Luke parker would be a good kid to go after although i cant see sydney letting him go.
