How could Geelong possibly miss James Worpel?

[dreamboat]

Here’s Johnnnnyyyy!

Should someone bring up how Hawthorn chose Mitch Thorpe over the geelong captain?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Christ how much do Geelong suck to miss out on all that talent.

By not finishing lower than 12 in their history.
Unlike a bunch of Mayblooms

 

[dazbroncos]

Hawthorn board -------> that way.

How could they possibly draft Mitch Thorp over Joel Selwood??!

Sack them all.

*silly people

Mainboard strikes again.


GO Catters

LOL this is obviously a Geelong troll thread so don't know how butcher is at all relevsant

I’d still take Mitch Thorp.

 

[HTPunter]

I'd love to hear the story behind this.

Local boy, captain of the Geelong Falcons, touted as a top-10 pick by some draft experts. Geelong have three chances to pick him up (although they did take the excellent Tim Kelly with one of those which is fair enough) and yet they still somehow miss out.

Not sure I would go so far as to say that their recruiting team should be sacked but I think there are plenty of questions to be asked.

Really? You're “not sure” whether they should be sacked? Over 1 player who has played 6 games? Geez you're kind, I`m calling for their heads personally!

 

[HTPunter]

James Bartel
James Kelly
James Reilly
James Podsiadly
James Parsons

Woooosh

 

[Jeff76]

Agree this Warmpole is a gun, where did he end up anyway?

 

[dazbroncos]

I’d still take Mitch Thorp.

So as not to incur the wrath of the law keepers, I will simply bid you farewell and good day and leave the trolling to you.

Go Catters

The kid will do to Geelong next week what Cyril did to them in the 2008 grand final!

The story is pretty easy to digest. We had 3 picks before Worpel was taken. Kelly is a no brainer. We needed a pressure forward/mid and took one that was rated quite highly in Fogarty and used our other pick on a bit of class and poise which we also lacked, so took Constable who is tracking along nicely and looks a class above at VFL level.

Good luck to Worpel but you can't pick everyone. If we did the draft again I still wouldn't pick Worpel ahead of those 3. I think Constable will become a better player down the track and he was the inside mid we took instead.

Watch for the usual suspects to launch a campaign belittling Worpels career

Looks Ike the campaigns already started. Pathetic

I think this thread is quick to jump the gun.

He's played 6 games. Against 11th, (twice) 13th, 15th, 16th and 18th on the premiership ladder and his highest disposal tally has been 32 against the last placed side and worst midfield in the league. His other tallies have been 16,16,13,11 and 6. Maybe wait until he actually starts performing at a high level and against good midfields before you start criticising clubs for not taking him in the draft.

How could Hawthorn miss Ryan Abbott?

 

[Royce Hafey]

Probably didn't draft him because he has such a s**t name.

Seriously, what the **** is "James?"

It's been said before but I'll say it again. Wiley Buzza. You drafted someone whose named like a minor Looney Tunes character.

Worpel will have a fine career

 

[Pessimistic]

Btw dowler over Dowler was a bigger fail than Thorpe over Selwood

 

[The Bandwagon]

Worpel will have a fine career

There's nothing to suggest he won't and there's nothing to suggest he will.

 

[Strange Cat]

Mitch Thorpe

Glasshouse and all

 

[thecatattack]

We drafted Fogarty, Kelly and Constable over him.

I'm more than happy with Fogarty and Kelly. Constable has looked good in the VFL too.

Hawks look like they snagged a good one with Worpel though. Hope he succeeds.

 

[tonygeeks]

He looks petty ' finished product ' body wise sometimes those guys look great early but don't get much better , could be this years SPP. Still the Hawks probably needed someone like that to freshen them up a bit rather than a gangly 3-4 year project player
