You bloody ripper! Hopefully a big year and improvement this year for him and he doesn't follow the trend of the last #5.

Who said that? There were quite a few on here that thought he would want to go simply because he played for the Falcons. But so did Hodgey.
Good news, though.
Err, Five B&F, Brownlow, multiple AA, and four Premierships, including one as captain, leading the side during a period of extended success?
I'd probably settle for that.

Falcon idiots said it
Dangle the captaincy in front of him in 2 years time so he doesn't get tempted by the dark side!!
Hurley took a massive dive

No need: most people try desperately to get OUT of Geelong.
He's not going back to that heap!
Sure, but he's already stated he wants to play his entire career at Hawthorn.

Worps is no star yet but FFS - pick 43 hey? Not bad.

Hurley was a weak prick
Looks like a wise decision, plenty of scope for him to become a very, very good player for us in the engine room.

Great news! But just to re-iterate , it was geelong who tried to convince him a couple of times not Worpel looking to get out.
Worps got #5 but kind A reminds me of a certain #12 in 2008, but potentially better
Hurley is a dum cluck, tried to shepherd
Great news.
Plenty of talented players in the the comp but not many come in and look like a leader from the get go and this guy shows great leadership potential. Tough, physical, strong and competitive. Can't wait to see him explode this year with increased opportunity in the midfield.

We haven’t had a midfielder show so much talent (and chutzpah) in his first year since Jordan Lewis way back in 2004 at pick 7! Worpel outmanouvering and showing no fear against Selwood reminded me of Lewis shaping up to Michael Voss in his first year. No doubting that the kid is special. We are slowly becoming unsociable again coupled with some much needed leg speed.
Future looks good
If hes as good as Sewell was I'll be absolutely stoked. Long way to go
