Heppell will be a Mark Robinson initiative, because he's a card carrying Bomber supporter, who was anything but balanced during the peptides saga.

That's the understatement of the millennium.

Robbo: (Burps) Dyso I imagine it just be really hard on you boys (small beer burp) waking up in the morning and just getting on with it, being innocent and all.

Heppell: Yehhhh naahhhhh yeh sort of like you just wake up and yeh but na the boys are all yehhh.

I made the mistake of watching Heppell on the Footy Show once before, he really is a ditz. One less fox footy show to tune into now.

I won't be watching it this year. If 360 want to support drug cheats then that is their choice, but I won't be watching the show. Heppell is currently serving a ban, it is not like he has even served his time, and got himself in a position to even warrant a second chance. Each to their own on this one, but I was already leaning towards not watching the show prior to Heppell's appointment.

Having Heppell on is a disgrace.

Don't know if it is a disgrace, but it is a poor choice, when there are so many active players to choose from.

I don't even understand how this kind of thing happens. As I understand it, all media appointments for AFL players must go through their club's media manager. How can Heppell possibly agree to this deal without breaking the terms of his ban and getting in contact with staff at the club?

There is no place for reasoned, measured responses on this forum.

I will say that I didn't mind Roosy, as opposed to others, as he was able to defend the club and keep it totally out of the mud when we were atrocious.  His ability to give answers that didn't put our club in the shite was excellent.

Yes and with having Roos on at least they were forced to talk about the Dees for at least 5 min's each week .... whether good or bad .

Good point. And all wages have to be declared via the AFL and the club which can count towards their payments...

Please...please Melbourne if you do only just one great thing this year (aside from making finals and winning the flag of course).... then be it beating the living shite out of essendrug. I want robbo to be absolutely plastered and a mumbling fool all that following week on 360 from the bender he'll need to forget that his club are now pathetic and a disgrace to Australian rules football.

The 34 probably don't even regard themselves as being suspended. Let alone restricted from certain activities.

What's happened to them is like a freak accident, a legal piano dropping on their head, all caused by some furriner lawyers from Switzerland who couldn't possibly understand Aussie Rules, that Dank went rogue, they were duped, etc.

It's bewildering, but with the encouragement and support of those who properly understand, like Robbo, this sham suspension will be over before you know it and they can get back to being completely innocent of everything except victimisation.

Heppell's appointment just shows the AFL aren't serious at all about the drug issue. It's a tacit message to the fans that "they did nothing wrong, CAS stuffed up and we can't change it".

The guy is serving a suspension for DRUG CHEATING. Even if he's technically allowed to to media for the AFL, there's no way he should be doing it. Sends the complete wrong message.

I wish I loved the game a little less so I could walk away from it.

And tonight we introduce Banned Essendon player and CAS adjudicated Drug Cheat....Dyson Heppell.

Put your beers together......

Farcical at best ....more akin to corrupt really.

Rome burnt while Nero fiddled. Our great game is being ridiculed under the reign of the Dill.

Funny how if you're too critical of the AFL or too probing in your quest for the truth about "supplements", your media accreditation and other reprisals come into play.

But if you support the 34 ...

I bet Gil and his crew are absolutely furious with SEN and Fox. Furious!

Heppell makes perfect sense for AFL 360...if you're looking for new blood that's injected calf's blood (among other things) then he's the logical choice.

he'll certainly inject something new

i've heard heppell interviewed many times and he didn't strike me as someone with something interesting to say

you can only come to the conclusion that hiring him for this gig was a cynical exercise by those concerned and a slap in the face to the general sporting public and officialdom

Goddard was hired too and everyone knows it wasn't for screen presence or warm personality.

A lot of the Magpies players get cushy media gigs regardless of how boring they are, not hard to put two and two together on that one. It's not surprising at all that borewhores like Goddard and Heppell get the same treatment.

Funny that the AFL warns Schools about employing any of the 34, then turns around and lets one paying it money to do just that.

They should use this as an example of hypocrisy in Dictionaries !!

AFL Tonight looks like it's got a good line up. Might finally get some decent footy news out of Fox Footy now.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
