Quote from: the claw on December 23, 2012, 05:00:41 PMdyson heppell. yep still believe we should have taken him.has two things conca does not.awareness he knows what is around him and his ability to find space and time he is rarely rushed. these two traits alone says he will be a good mid. at 189cm/ and 80kg when drafted he was a lovely size who would not take too long to bulk up. he played at 85kg this yr and that will improve again next yr not just with actual size but core strength. finally from what ive seen of both thus far i reckon heppell a better skilled, better athlete and eventually a much bigger player than conca.this is not a put down on conca i think he will be a decent player for us but i believe heppell will be the better of the two.I may be wrong but Conca IMO will be 'schooled' to be more inside whilst Heppell is 'outside'. At the time of the Conca selection we were in dire need of inside mids.....likewise with the selection of Vlaustin. However, I think a line-breaking mid will be on the cards next year...... hopefully.
