Early time of year but I read somewhere Heppell would consider leaving the Dons would love/ hope Goodwin and Macartney do there best to bring him across would fit in nicely!! Thoughts?

Lovely.....but...

Only with a haircut 

I would be feeling very worried as a bombers supporter after that article in the hun(?)

Hawthorn will throw every spare cent they have at him, they're desperate to re-build their midfield for when Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis retire.

I think heppell would compliment our midfield perfectly, hopefully having Goody at least puts us in with a chance of snagging him

Not too sure about that: may have the Samson affect!

Otherwise I'd love him at the Dee's (but unfortunately I don't think it will happen).

Me either. Probably the most likely to stay, next captain and comes from a family of bombers diehards

Here it is mate

That would be awesome if we could get this guy. 

Can't see him leaving, just can't see it happening. If he goes he goes for a Scully contact (over market value). That won't be cheap, and the dees have committed to what they have so I can't see us having an offer large enough to sway him.

Absolutely deefella.  we have to have a strong finish to this season.

Have to give up something very good to get something good.

I'm enjoying the players we have. I am happy for us to sign up our own for what they are worth and get on with it. Bringing in players on "overs" can create inflationary pressure on a club.

I thought the banned Bombers players had the choice of becoming delisted free agents?

Yep, it seems they can legally have their contracts null and void so other than monetary it doesn't cost us a thing, they will just get compo from AFL.

Even if it were to happen, I doubt we'd be high on his list of destination clubs

I would target Michael Hurley.  Strong CHB. Will make out spine the envy of many.

Article in the paper the other day indicates the Crows are into him in a big way.

I agree. Is he a free agent?

 

Just now, Ron Burgundy said:

no. he would have to go the dfa path based on contract breach, or, convince essendrug he's going no matter what and let them trade him

the former option obviously suits us but he could take the latter option to avoid more bad blood

Does not sound much like he is staying at Windy Hill.

Should we be courting him ??

 

Second Heppell thread in days....

What did he say anyway? Havent seen any articles

Last time I courted someone I ended up with a ring on my finger and a child, so no, no we shouldn't be courting him.

I don't approve of us signing any of the drug cheats, unless they're good players..
