How could Geelong possibly miss James Worpel?

[Brain Power]

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.

They have other priorities...

Was touted as high as number one IIRC.

No way were we going to have a last name like that on our list

I wanted us to get him at pick 30.

We will see how TDK turns out for us

I reckon it would sit pretty comfortably along side.

Cocatoo.
Buzza.
Hayball.
House.
Cunico.
Thurlow.
Bilcavs.

Sure it doesn't quite have the Grammar School sound to it as does George Horlin - Smith

Not while Buzza is still on your list.

The one that got away....

Is a thread like this going to be made everytime a good player gets passed in the draft?

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

Close thread, we are done here.

 

[Ricky Vaughn]

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

Seriously, what the * is "James?"

James Bartel
James Kelly
James Reilly
James Podsiadly
James Parsons

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Terrible thread. Geetroit have a pretty good history of making the most out of the draft(s)

 

[Kummerspeck]

James Bartel
James Kelly
James Reilly
James Podsiadly
James Parsons

The joke was pretty obvious.

Fancy recruiting a 34 year old wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy past his best for one last EXTREMELY LONG SHOT at a flag.
Instead of recruiting for the future, Worpel could very well be the player of the future.

Biggest balls up by a football club since Hawthorn and Vickery!

You mean, since all those draft picks and Jaeger?

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