(Watch the episode here) In this powerful full-length episode of Shaped, former Essendon captain Dyson Heppell opens up like never before. From the dark days of the Essendon supplements saga to the life-altering perspective gained through his relationship with “H Man”, Dyson shares the key people and moments that have shaped him.

At just 23, Heppell was forced to sit out the 2016 AFL season due to the WADA sanctions. It was a moment that cast a dark cloud over his football career and his personal identity. He speaks honestly about the emotional toll, the anger, and how it led him to redefine what football really meant to him.

Dyson reflects on the moments that “whacked him in the face” and helped him move from bitterness to forgiveness.

This is an episode about adversity, perspective, healing, and the deeper meaning of leadership and legacy.
