Heater Appreciation

[GoLions]

Hes a beautiful beautiful man.

[Slim Don]

Had him since round 1, after some reluctancy initially. As some have mentioned already defence was super tough line to pick for premos. Totally replayed the faith tho. Seeing as I didn't start Goldy or Fyfe think he's probably my teams second top scorer behind pendles.

Been a tank

[BomberSam]

backbone of defence.    probably to dear to start next year, appreciating his efforts this year

I reckon he might be like Ablett and Gray of this year- very expensive but a must have!

Although you make a good point, lots of coaches got Gray cheaper.

THANK YOU HEATER!

Pick of the backline!

Heater is always a rollercoaster but given the lack of premium options down back this year he has been a ROCK!  :)

Appreciation max!!!  :D   ;)

Now that you have praised Heater he will miss a game coming up no doubt.

Just remember the reason we can reverse trades is due to heater

Haha so true, got shivers when i read that i guess the memories linger lol. Im pretty sure i wasn't affected when that happened but could be wrong. He was on my never again list for a long long time. This year with limited options down back and his output changed that for me. He's gone a couple of years now with no silly indiscretions and my faith in him is being restored. He reads the play so well back there, GWS use him to set up their defence into attack as he uses the ball very well and rarely misses a target then theres those gold plus 6's when the ball is chipped around the backline, he's often involved in the old one two moves where he gives it get's it back and delivers to someone up the ground. A good overhead mark aswell.

Everyone deserves an 8th chance mate hahaha. I think he's matured alot  and im praying the stupid stuff is all behind him now.
Here's hoping leopards can change their spots because after this year he's going to be hard to leave out in 2016.

i also still get shudders when I remember that 'fateful' day ...

but the introduction of the Heath Shaw rule imo has greatly increased the enjoyment of SC/DT/AF etc, etc  ;)

Yeh it has, as bad as it was it created what we have now "reverse trades option" which makes doing your trades so much easier rather than having a calculator handy and paper trying to work out what you can and can't afford etc.

Yeah bring on the Heater love and stick it up the Heater haters. Never started him until this year and BINGO was always gonna score well being the general off half back in an awesome young developing side. Only his stupidity off field has stuffed it up in recent years but I gave him another chance ;)

At this stage certainly one of my four gottahave 'anchors' for next year: Heater, Gaz, Gray, Goldy.

bet you never expected to have Higgins+Shaw on the field every week for this long though! sucker for punishment indeed.
After all that, great back line picks from the start.

essendon killed me this year, i wish they got suspended.

I traded out Heath Shaw and in Michael Hibberd, along with trading in Bellchambers.
