Worps makes the AFLPA U22 side along with Hardwick.

Great fact! Would be super rare.

Next year with a fit Chad and even better Worpel and Conigli+Mitchell our starting midfield looks impressive!

 

[Holy Rioli]

Worps makes the AFLPA U22 side along with Hardwick.

Still a joke Hardwick didn't make it last year, much better player than McCrabby.

Worps makes the AFLPA U22 side along with Hardwick.

Mitch Lewis having at least a good year as McKay from the tankers & better than Naughton & Hipwood, but no mention - just like Hardwick when he was overlooked.

Oh well, he'll just have to fill that void with Premierships, like other Hawks before him when missing out on AA spots they clearly deserved.

I think with Mitch it's a games played thing.

Geelong's Giant Myers only has 19

Geelong's Giant Myers only has 19

It's based on 2019 achievements alone.

Miers has played 19 games this year.

Lewis has played 10.

Miers has played 19 games this year.

Lewis has played 10.

And in those 10 games he's been at least as good as McKay & better than Hipwood & Naughton for averages per game &

Its taken the AFL world a while to catch on, but looks like they've finally realised how good Worpel has been this year

 

[Brant]

Walsh obviously had the better year - He plays for Carlton

The comments say as much. Worpel is s**t. Useless. Gone backwards

 

[Rushed_Behind]

Wouldn’t trade this guy for 2 first rounders. Bird in the hand is worth 2 in the Bush.

'Stagnated', to use the common vernacular...

easily having a better year than Walsh

Been the best of the 4.... but he was a late draft pick so obviously is s**t.

Everyone on the offensive, I was just saying the reason he wasn't included was probably the fact that he has only played roughly half the season.

Hard to split Walsh, Worp & Rozzee if all were in contention.

Nothing against Walsh, but I'd definitely take Rozee if I had the choice between both.

Is one of the best small forwards in his first year after playing his footy as a half-back as an underager. Will be one of those guys who can just go anywhere and impact.
