Free Agency James Worpel - Joins Geelong as a Restricted Free Agent, Hawthorn receive Band 4 Compensation

[Jack Richards]

End of 2nd round compo pick is going Hawks way

Never said he was no chance, so again, you’re wrong.

The post you made was about the Hawks salary cap.

If you are not signing Worpel I think it suggests that? Or do you hate him and not want him?

If we are not signing Worpel it suggests something else is at play.

 

[Xtreme]

Sam Maclure saying Worpel will go to Geelong as a free agent. Geelong made a deal that Hawks wont match.

Don't trust a word he says. He's about as honest as a real estate agent!

Yes

Not having the salary cap room to match Geelongs bid is that something at play. You went for Oscar Allen and got priced out of that move... the idea you can all of a sudden afford Zak Butters or Harley Reid is just la la land dreamland stuff.

Battle/Barrass was the money spent. Although Hawks fans probably like Geelong fans think they are playing for 400k a year or something

Do you have anything to back this claim ?
Hawks being priced out ?

Of course not. It’s a fantasy.

 

[THE_GUN]

Of course not. It’s a fantasy.

I think any team could pull out the loose change to get Allen over and $800k is not TDK range

 

[bzparkes]

Maybe Hawks and Geelong can have a shootout at the OK Corral pokies den. Winner gets Worpel, Worpel gets the venue.

 

[sexyhunk]

pretty obvious whats happening, both hawthorn and worpel want to stay but hawthorn making him wait as they are cooking up something either a FA or extending their own stars.

one thing for sure worpel will have to take less to stay and melbourne, geelong, stkilda or any other club would need to pay more as you do to get players to leave.

More farm land and cotton on franchises being dished out.

Trade talk: Free agent has already “all but agreed” to join Cats

“I think that deal is done."

We have cap room. Nothing to do with cotton on.

 

[Drunkcat]

I doubt he leaves even if that happens.

Word from someone close to him is that he has no intentions to leave.

Good you keep him.

Going to Geelong m8.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Going to Geelong m8.

Don’t think so, will believe it when I see it.

exactly, we dont need cotton on for a james worpel, we cotton on for the big guns.

Normally I wouldn’t get too caught up in this sort of stuff either but coincidently it just so happens that I had a coffee with the captain of an AFL team today and he told me that Worpel was going to Geelong. True story.

 

[aussierulesrules]

All true but you cant afford him in your salary cap. Everyone could see this except for Hawks fans

If the Dogs can afford Butters and Bergman, when they already have Bont and Darcy amongst others, then Hawthorn can EASILY afford Worpel.

I didn't know you knew Oscar Allen mate.

Say hi for me.

Yeah, that’s great but it’s not like Hawthorn are a basket case right now and we’re about to move into the best facilities in the comp.

I guess he could move for money or the opportunity to be closer to home, but I’m not sure Geelong are gonna be throwing massive coin at him either.

I’ll believe it when I see it, rather than when it’s circulated after McLure says “it’s a done deal”….”he just hasn’t decided yet”.

I know but it is highly plausible whether you want to accept it or not.

The dogs might have something to say about that

 

[DERO]

Post some photos of these so called best facilities Abasi.

Carn man.

Doubt it.

 

[Elixuh]

Will look good in the Hoops.

Media narrative has changed. Is looking likely to stay.
