Missed too many early in the seasonMeeks’s a sneaky I reckon…
It's been so obvious how much he's improved this aspect of his game. Somebody posted on here last week that he's become a passable AFL standard kick, I thought about replying but couldn't be bothered, but you'd have to be blind Freddy not to see that his I50 kicking is now top shelf so I'm glad these stats back that up.Among the league's top kicks inside 50 according to Champion Data. Nice work Worps.
A stark contrast from just a couple years ago when he would just dump kick around his body or dump it long and high down the line all the time. He's surgical now with the way he wheels out of stoppages and the whips a low ball onto a teammates tit.Among the league's top kicks inside 50 according to Champion Data. Nice work Worps.
Not too many other inside mids in that list, speaks volumes.Among the league's top kicks inside 50 according to Champion Data. Nice work Worps.
timing is a great pick up. i don't think you suddenly become a top inside 50 kick without being a good kick your whole life. it's about adjusting to how much time you have, especially in a contested situation.From an obvious weakness to a strength.
Can't imagine how much work went into changing his technique/timing. You have to give credit to Worpel and the coaching unit (or whoever it was) that helped him work on this.
Worpel was never a "bad kick".Among the league's top kicks inside 50 according to Champion Data. Nice work Worps.
Worpel was never a "bad kick".
He had simply formed the habit of rushing his kicks as the default because he won a lot of the football under pressure.
And yet his technique has not changed…His kicking ability had been his biggest issue since his junior days, it was the main reason why he slid into the 40's during the draft, despite being a captain and an accomplished performer at that level.
He's worked hard to improve it, and it's really paying off this season.
And yet his technique has not changed…
Two things have changed. Technique and composure. Technique under pressure especially. It comes with hard work on the track. A player doesn't magically improve a part of his game automatically. He evaluates a weakness and then works on it session after session to improve.And yet his technique has not changed…

I'd disagree a bit.
He used to kick it 'round the corner' a bit when not needing to in general play, hanging the ball wide and trying to kick slicing worm burner kicks at super high velocity.
Feel like he kicks a lot more upright and putting the ball in front of his target far more.
Has also slowed on that last step before kicking, used to try and hit them at the same pace he was running.
Agree not huge changes, but enough to have a pretty big difference I reckon.
Fair enough.Two things have changed. Technique and composure. Technique under pressure especially. It comes with hard work on the track. A player doesn't magically improve a part of his game automatically. He evaluates a weakness and then works on it session after session to improve.
Sam Mitchell is a perfect example most of u think he had those skills his whole football career but that would be wrong. He worked on it just like Worpel has done. Kudos to the man. He has now become a weapon from centre clearances.
I think Moore has it now with Worpel the runner up.Pcm will be between Sicily, Moore and worps . All three could lay a stake at been AA level along with scrimshaw.
Has done some amazing work with Jack Vineys brother, has paid dividends. Gives Worps more time now to dispose at a high level, whilst knowing he’s strong enough to get out of tackles, and will also using good technique if someone ends up matching his strength.Would be great to get a clip together of Worps' shoulder rolls, broken tackles and fend offs for the year.
His endurance and consistency is amazing!
Gotta poll highly in the PCM this year?
