Second Heppell thread in days....

What did he say anyway? seen any articles

He said he can't be certain he'll be at Essendrug next year, when a good player says that you might as well be declaring open season and Windy Hill firing up the air raid sirens because they could legitimately lose Heppell, Hurley and Hooker and go into the draft with picks 1,2,3 and 4 

the last report i saw stated that Hooker had been offered 900k by Freo, 750k by Hawks and the Roos were in the process of putting a good offer together as well.

    So it's a no and a yes?

    Even as someone who hates drugs in sport, and the Essendon Football Club, this continual, droning 'drug cheat' mantra gets up my nose.

    The Essendon players fully deserved their penalty, for their naiveity if nothing else. But they were also badly deceived by poor management practices and unconscionable conduct by their club. At the end of 2016, they will have served their time and deserve to continue playing. We no longer transport people for seven years for stealing a loaf of bread, do we? 

    I'd have Heppell in a heartbeat. Whether he wants to come to Melbourne, stay at Essendon, or go elsewhere is another matter. Anyway, what's a better continuing punishment for Essendon than losing some of their best (suspended) players?

    Now, once and for all, which part of the AFL is on drugs and which part isn't????

    If they leave as free agents they will be Delisted Free Agents which don't attract compensation. Unless the AFL decides to make up rules on the fly. Which they almost certainly will.

    They would move heaven and earth to ensure there will be compensation. Take that to the bank.

    Announcing a new category of free agent: the Delisted Victimised and Cruelled by ASADA and CAS Free Agent.

    It's been introduced as part of the AFL's community support programme for women, indigenous communities, cancer survivors and Diggers. It's an integral part of growing the game in Australia and overseas.

    Quite ridiculous especially considering with any academy/FS picks a team like Carlton or Brisbane may finish 2nd last and end up with something like pick 7 or 8. I wonder if other clubs will kick up a stink about any draft concessions the Bombers get like they did when we applied for a PP.

    This may have something to do with his recent statements - Dyson Heppell's million-dollar legal claim

    33 to go.                                                                                                                :rolleyes:

    We would have to be in the frame to land Heppell. A poster on here claimed a couple months back that Heppell would be leaving Essendon (and cited Heppell's brother as a source). Based on that - and the currently events - I think Heppell becomes a target for us. Hopefully he was close with Melksham and Goodwin. Heppell is a gun, he would add a lot to our midfield.

    Hey KingDingAling, 

    Any chance you remember who it was / thread it was on? Jamin and Aaron are straight bat sort of guys - I cannot imagine they would have hinted that Dys would be leaving the Dons at all. The boys are pretty good at playing all cards close to their chests and not saying anything until after it has happened. Most importantly, they dont lie or misinform. If they were to have said something (as previous poster has mentioned) then take that as gospel and get your cheque books out.

    If these EFC players both sue and play for Essendrug, then surely it would require the EFC admin to put the boot into the past admin and Hird to show a clean break from the past.  Since I can't see that happening because of the reaction of the one-eyed fan base, I doubt if any player will both sue and play. Interesting to see.

  • Quote

    The legal process of players suing the club will be by nature adversarial and leave a bad taste in all parties mouths... Making the likelihood of the player being disenfranchised and leaving high. 

    Im some ways it's a shame as the Dons will make some progress toward rebuilding their team will all the high draft picks the AFL is going to hand them for the exodus.

    Hopefully they Prendigast themselves.

    I'd be very surprised if the Hawks paid Hooker 750k a year.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
