First Year Players - Dyson Heppell

@Dreamteam_Guru has been focusing on first year players, and today has a look at Dyson Heppell, Essendon’s first pick in the national draft late last year.

Rumour has it that Heppell will be a multi-positional player, and with the potential for dreamteam struggle this year due to the bye (every week!), multi-positional players will become more valuable.  If you pick Heppell in defence with Carrazzo and have Goddard in your midfield, you will be able to swing the three players between the three positions depending on what is happening with the bye that week.

This would have Heppell covering Carazzo and Goddard in weeks when they aren’t playing, and after researching Heppell – he should be a pretty good sub for you.

Also consider how badly Essendon have performed in recent years.  I think Heppell is guaranteed a start and should get plenty of time for the Bombers this season.

Important to consider with any Essendon player is that they won’t be available in Grand Final week of dreamteam.  Essendon have the bye in round 24.  So Heppell may help you make the Grand Final, but he won’t win it for you.  Pick him, but you are guanrteeing buring a trade late in the season.
