Dyson Heppell is coming towards the end of a long career at Essendon and has been in the news lately as the club has low-balled him on his next contract offer, leading some to conclude that they are gently tapping him on the shoulder to spend his twilight years at an expansion club. Apart from the drugs saga, Heppell's time at Bomberland has mostly been spent behind the ball, first as a nominal half back and then in midfield as a mop-up merchant cleaning up backwards of the centre. One wonders if the Dons would be a better team without Hep's handbrake.
