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

Love it how he sat Merrett on his arse after the don tried to rough him up too. Never a step back.

 

[Thaihawk]

Still not sold on this kid, well not in the way he has been hyped after one ok game. Hope he can put in a solid game on Saturday because god knows we’ll need it.

Waste of time here, you know nothing!

 

[Thaihawk]

Just add a Cogs, another big quality mid that we have our eye on, or even move Dimma or Burto; Hill, Scully and the like and we are very formidable with the perfect blend, not forgetting the freak running Irishmen.

Yeah Tops, can't forget my man Nash the Flash.

Reckon James Worpel will become our second captain recruited from the Geelong Falcons.

 

[Brishawk]

Certainly looks a find. He and Morrison are great additions who are showing a lot right now but will only get better with experience and better conditioning for the rigours of footy.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I saw some footage of Worpel playing for Vic Metro and remember thinking he looked to be precisely the type of player who would fit in well at Hawthorn. I was a little confused when he lost his spot earlier in the season, but good to see him back in the team, hopefully for the long haul.

We gave 38 to a certain player back in 2005, a good number to start with

James Worpel will be a massive player.
It occured to me last Saturday that he has the 2 major attributes that all recruiters look for (think of Cyril)

1 Clean ball handler - doesn't fumble
2. Keeps his feet, doesn't go to ground.

I don't know how to describe them as attributes but also seems to have time/poise & pretty good vision/awareness for where his opponents & mates are

 

[MrPremiership]

I just like that he has a fair bit of confidence.

Confidence like this was last seen in a young draftee called James Sicily

 

[Franko Armani]

Today’s the day son.

 

[caliente]

Haha loved the Worpedo interview!

 

[Harry Hawks]

This guy is a machine!!!

 

[cryptor]

Dominated first half. Beast.

 

[Brant]

On track for another 30 possies.

I bet there’s a couple of 4-6 possession Swans/Bombers kids out there feeling like a Rising Star nom is a certainty...

[Hawk_francais]

Here's to many more

 

[Badesumofu]

Surely gets the rising star nom this week. That gather and pivot was something else.

 

[Dewnior]

James Worpel you star

 

[SSSSSS]

Is it time to replace old man Tom Mitchell on the Board background with future 8x Brownlow medalist James Worpel?

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Good kid

 

[Rioli2Gunstall]

Smithy describing him nicely ' doesnt give 2 ****s about anything' lol

 

[beta_condition]

When he can build a bigger tank he's going to be something special, bit of Sloane about him.

Sloane isn't an 8x Brownlow winning medalist though.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Remarkable!! Don’t wanna exaggerate but this kid is a inside ball winning gun!!
I quite like that he doesn’t give two shits about anything, just goes out there to plAy footy and go beast mode!
Imagine four qtrs of that??

 

[halfback dasher]

The effort V Selwood was simply outstanding .
