Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn, James Worpel, pick #43 2017 - Peter Crimmins medalist 2019

[The Chad and I]

Least appreciated champion I can remember.

It’s his 100th and we got a win. Congratulations Worps!

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Having a super consistent year.

Output has been solid to very good all year.

Will definitely place top five in the PCM.

Another very good game. The way he and Newcombe rallied the troops in that second quarter was fabulous. We are so very lucky to have the Worpedo. You just know you're going to get consistent, contested dominance. But he has also grown to become much more involved all around the ground and has improved his skills to become a bigger part of our attacking forays. A very good comeback year for James Worpel

He was very very composed today and constantly wriggled his way out of heavily contested passages of play. Has had a fantastic year but today he seemed to go to another level which TBH I didnt think he was capable of. His disposal was top notch as well.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Love the Worpel Newcombe duo. They look for each quite a lot

Congrats on the 100 Jimmy. What a return to form this season has been.

Now start pumping out them kids.

That's something I've really noticed this year is how much more composed he is. It's been fantastic to see him in such good form and such an integral part of our midfield success. They are working so well together.

Keep it under your hats, but expect a contract announcement today.

Yes please!!

We were rightly raving about the Duke treating Weightman with utter contempt, and for his fend off into a double-spin and laser on his opposite in a tight corridor on the wing.

But IMO the play of the day was Worpel taking on three tacklers at the centre clearances, standing up in that contest, spinning around and dishing off to Newcombe who goaled.

Edit: Newcombe didn't goal from that play, it was a different Worpel clearance that led to Newcombe's goal.

We've had some great goals down in Tassie against the Dogs. Especially from the centre.

That, along with with Buddy's goals down the wings, are some of my favourite goals I've seen! You can watch it a hundred times and still not understand how he pulled that off! Kinda like Draymond's magic pass to Klay.

Done

2 years fo Worps. I was hoping for longer

 

[Badesumofu]

Worpel to stay until 2025.

Quite like the text to members for news like this.

 

[Max Powers]

Just got a text from Hawthorn with a link for a video with the announcement. Happy as a pig in shit. Onya Worps.

 

[Billyc]

Nice. Had a terrific year.

 

[MightyHawks86]

VERY happy with this! Testament to the kid's hard work.

 

[local hack]

Great news!! Has had a ripping year. Back to, or do I say better than, his B&F year. So many clearances, hard ball gets, in and under shit, and maybe more importantly the connection he has with day, nuke, Nash etc

 

[Roddy]

Excellent! Jai is getting all the adulation at the moment, and rightly so. But I reckon Worps is just as important to our future as Nuke is.

I’m actually a touch surprised it’s only two years.

 

[Hodgey 15]

Awesome news.

 

[James Colorado]

If you'd told me this a year ago, I'd have been somewhat "meh". But after the year he's had, I'm *ing stoked! Hope there's further contract extensions in his future

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

Fantastic news.. love the buy in from all the boys. Exciting times ahead
