In this humorous episode, popular Leongatha-born brothers, Dyson & Aaron Heppell, reflect on their respective journeys to Essendon, where Dyson has played 235 games in red & black (2011-23), captained the club (2017-22), won a Crichton Medal (2014), received an All-Australian jacket (2014) and won the AFL's Rising Star award in 2011. Unlucky to be overlooked for a position on the senior list, Aaron starred in Essendon's VFL side across seven seasons, winning three best & fairest awards and, like his big brother, also captained the Bombers.
