[flinchfree]

By two players! Hall and smith!

Oates got dropped?

 

[Buckemenico]

Will win the Hawks BNF

 

[PenAndPaper]

Will win the Hawks BNF

Will go close. Think Hendo will go close & Impey would have started well.

 

[Pessimistic]

Will win the Hawks BNF

That would be sensational- Puts you on track to be an AFL Legend (but a loooong way to go)

Goddard finally admitted he was wrong

Goddard finally admitted he was wrong

Has anyone got a link?

 

[Billyc]

Led the AFL in clearances post bye rounds.

The lack of coverage of his season is truly extraordinary.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

We should be thanking Goddard

How sensitive are Carlton fans. Listening to SEN, Wallace mentioned that Worps played 1 too many games to be eligible for the rising star but if he was eligible he would have no doubt that he would win it easily because of the 3 or 4 BOG’s he has played during the season whereas Walsh’s top end games were not comparable. Obviously the switchboard went crazy and he came back on to say not to take it in the wrong way, that Walsh was still a gun and you would expect Worpel to be ahead given he is older. Seriously!!!!!!!

Put a ball between Worps and Walsh I know who would come out with it. Would take Worpel ahead of Walsh any day of the week.

Is there a different young player award done on Brownlow night? Maybe one from the AFLPA and/or AFLCA?

Walsh is a total gun but Worpel has been far better than him this year.

AFLPA definitely does have one, but it's Best First Year player.

Mods. Is it time to change the title of this thread? Warps is now IMO a bonafide gun A grader. Can we remove the reference to rising star nom from round 21 last year? His career is now beyond that fairly insignificant award.

Also does he need to be welcomed anymore? Can’t we just bask in his post arrival period greatness and the fact we picked him at 45?

This thread started when he was drafted

Everyone, relax... There is no such thing as 'James Worpel'!

 

[sven_inc]

How's this.

Official AFL Player Ratings just posted this to Twitter.

Guess whose the best player in the AFL under 22?

Also, the third best player in the comp under the age of 24 - behind Oliver and Dunkley.

Better than De Goey too

Yes and surely at that point he wasn’t the round 21 rising star nomination from 2018. Hence the query on thread title change as I assume it’s been changed before. Unless the thread was created at the time he was nominated for the rising star and not when drafted.

Yes I am an egg head.

 

[Slysh]

Worpel voted in to the 22 under 22 team

 

[HawksTHteam2beat]

What a surprise only voted on the interchange did we expect anything else?

Clayton and Dunkley deservedly ahead. Taranto close.

 

[Burtman]

Tbf Oliver and dunkley are locks in the mids. Taranto had a great year but wouldn’t say it was much better than worpels, probably pretty line ball

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Nah that's fair, Oliver and Dunkley are obviously ahead.

My question is how McKay was rated ahead of Lewis.

First round pick always better than 5th round Pick. Ohhh derrr

The crab making it over Hardwick is disgusting.
