Yep. Been great.Best season in what - 4 years?
Quality human.View attachment 1986655
Hep's long-standing friendship with H might be the most wholesome thing in footy.
What a bloke.
The whole 'Challenge' thing is bloody fantastic. A distraction for the kids and their parents, for a few hours, worth its weight in gold.View attachment 1986655

Reads the ball for sure and for a guy his size has always used his body well in marking contestsIts no surprise that Hepp is looking so much better behind the ball this, and the best for a few years still.
The pressure up the ground is causing teams to be less precise with the ball and allowing us to get numbers back. Hepps strength is his ability to read the play and get in position, and this is happening more as the play slows down ahead of him.
If you are asking him to consistently defend a guy 1v1 in space on the last line, he is gonna struggle like has the last few years as his athleticism declines. Fortunately we arent putting him in that position all that often at the moment.
spent time on the wing & in defenceWhat was his role on the weekend?
Agree with this. He looks more able to find his position or get to a contest quicker because the work of his team mates is making it viable. His courage has never diminished, so he still does his part and scraps it out when he needs to and looks like he belongs.Its no surprise that Hepp is looking so much better behind the ball this year, and the best for a few years still.

17 disposals, 4 marks., so contributed.think he was very bad against gws. have watched the replay. not really sure what he achieved or was meant to achieve in that game.
What made him very bad?think he was very bad against gws. have watched the replay. not really sure what he achieved or was meant to achieve in that game.
Did not look like a star. You can not just do your job and be good.What made him very bad?
Agree. It is now the quality of the team around him that is making him look good. Plus his 'effective' possessions are typically dinky kicks going 12m sideways. If Ridley and Reid are ever fit together and in form it is hard to see him having a role.think he was very bad against gws. have watched the replay. not really sure what he achieved or was meant to achieve in that game.
