Zach Merrett The best player Of the Essendon Bombers files for divorce from his wife after 7 Years of marriage due to involvement in…..
The decision by Brad Scott to forego playing a final game for club legend Dyson Heppell in front of his home crowd has caused rifts among the Essendon community.
Bombers icon Simon Madden urged fans to exercise patient as the team all but withdrew from the September competition, while Essendon great Matthew Lloyd criticized Scott’s treatment of Heppell.
Multiple club sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that Heppell accepted his non-selection with grace and understood well why Scott left him out of the final 23 while being sad not to have been selected. A club insider also categorically denied a rumor that players were disappointed Heppell was left out, stating that executives thought the accusation was baseless.
Before the game, Heppell received a tearful farewell from a partisan but smaller-than-anticipated 33,830 spectators. He had earlier ans
wered questions from the public during a Q&A at the president’s reception, which his family had attended.
Although Scott was unable to guarantee that Heppell would play against the Brisbane Lions the following week, Bombers football manager Daniel McPherson said on Fox Footy before to the team’s defeat to the Swans that the veteran would play a farewell game if the team was eliminated from the playoffs.
Amazingly, the Bombers are still mathematically eligible to play in the finals, but if two of Hawthorn, the Western Bulldogs, or Carlton win on Sunday, they will be out.
