Heppell has been in great form the past couple of weeks, but am I the only one here who seems to think his best position is not as a key inside mid?
His early years down off half back showed how good he is when he has space. This year, whilst he hasn't kicked many goals - the opportunities he's had he's taken almost all of them.
Would love to see him playing a Bont like role, where he can roam between the midfield and forward line.
No way Heppell can be compared to the Bont not even J kennedy of the swans, both of them are warriors.
You are right though, i dont see him ATM being a key inside mid, he doesnt get dirty with it, he doesnt have any depth on his kicking albeit 2 crucial goals outside 50 this year against hawks and Blues. I think he's best would be reading the ball at Half back, problem is these days he would be too slow and the small forwards would have a field day against him, running off and kicking goals..
I don't even see him as captaincy material, I see Zach merrett as captain, I could see Hurley being captain, FGS Goddard as well, captain Pretzels, he at least he shows he cares.
I'm just not inspired by Dyson Heppell onfield capabilities to lift our team.
