    His pre-game speech to GWS before their first game in that season he coached (?) is one of the most cringe things I've ever seen.
    AMEN.

    He is an absolute grifter, a snake oil pusher, a one trick pony. The aura around him is akin to the Emperor's New Clothes. If anything, I believe he is the catalyst for a lot of the game's problems. The fake tough guy act, greedy attention seeking PR, cheating, bullshit rules.

    The sight of him makes me sick.

    Updated: Essendon face the prospect of losing star forward Joe Daniher for a compensation pick without him playing a game in 2020 if the free agent again asks for a trade at season's end.
    Haha, could have had at minimum a first round pick (plus more) if they traded him last October.

    Just complete stubborn stupidity from dodo
    Long may it continue
    They’re a club just mired in screwing teams over and still lay it on at trade time

    Yeah I read that and laughed, but I think he was referring to the fact they have to fly home about 2.5 hours after they'd like due to the time the Esserden game finishes.

    Did this guy age in six months the same amount an AFL coach usually ages in six years?

    Probably a Norf thing...….

    He looks like a derro that's found an old North hoodie out the back of the grandstand.

    It's the legendary Excalibur of hoodies. He who can stand the stench is destined to coach North.

    If only Graham Arthur had coached North we would have known where it came from.

    There should be no joy in Heppell breaking his ankle. By all reports he is a decent guy and had just recovered from a lingering foot injury. Rotten luck for him.
