How could Geelong possibly miss James Worpel?

[Wojcinski]

Motlop was your best player in the finals last year.

No, Motlop played well against Sydney. He was atrocious in every other final he played for the club. Very frustrating player to have on the list.

26 disposals and a goal in the prelim. Rated as your second best player on the ground behind selwood

Motlop was your best player in the finals last year.

And he still would have been the best player in the 2018 finals. So many Geelong players went missing. Including the holy trinity, some people are still looking for them!

 

[HairyO]

His finals series indicates why Geelong passed on him. Shockingly bad, and I've supported a team with Steven Motlop.

Id say he was about as bad as pretty much every senior player with a dozen or more finals under their belt.

Hard to come down too hard on the kids when the adults were crap.

Wait, a Motlop reference. Should this belong in The Bay ?

They were Geelong's best 3 though.

This thread is about Worpel and the reason Geelong refused to draft him. Please stay on topic.

Reminds me of Langford, played a couple good games and was going to be a superstar then turned into a spud.

Has Luke Breust been found yet? I assume he was reported missing after round 23.

Let's just wait until we see Constable play next year. It was one or the other and we picked one, not the other.

He's f***ing s**t, you've been called out on it all year, f***ing let it go.

No need to be so abusive

Worpel is a star

That's not abuse mate, it's fact. Motlop was garbage in our side, he's even worse at Port.

 

[threesixpio]

How?

 

[drviccles]

Not a spud.

 

[Tandy]

We should have taken him imo. He was right under our noses.

James Bartel
James Kelly
James Reilly
James Podsiadly
James Parsons

Who is james reilly

Constable has a much higher ceiling and was the right pick at 35. The rest of the our picks were to early.

Kelly wasnt

 

[Ray Donovan]

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.

Pick 36 Charlie Constable ( sandringham Dragons )

That's what happened took Tim Kelly and Forgarty in the 20's

Worpel went pick 45 only played 13 games so you went pretty early with this thread. Pretty sure everyones happy with what they got I would not be changing the picks

 

[Ambrosia]

How did all the other clubs? It seemed like everyone on BF rated him as a very good prospect.

Anyone not biased would though.

Why? It is very early days. Worpel is a man child. Constable has a lot more upside.

Constable weighs more than Worpel but no nice try there bud, guess he's a man child as well.

Um motlop was our best player in the prelim against the crows. Want to have a second crack at that?

Start a poll if you like, Charlie is going to be a very good player but he hasnt shown anything close to the level of Worpel.

Yes because he is 2 inches taller

Scarlett has said Constable has the worst body for an AFL footballer he has ever seen.

Easy to change that over a couple of pre seasons.
