Worpel’s kicking is below average for AFL
Judd was not a footballer. Footballers are those that use the balls better by foot!It's the one issue I have with ppl watching Worpel, Worpel is an above average passer to a leading forward by a long way.
When he gets the ball and smashes it 50 forward I really don't give a damn the result as he's been instructed to do it by the team/coaches, I have a bigger issue that our forwards are not playing in front.
I just went through the top 35 clanger machines currently in the AFL, almost everyone is a midfielder or ruckman. Dangerfield's about 3 possies behind Worpel. It's the way of the new 6/6/6 if your ruckman is short and rarely wins a centre bounce when you get it, bloody hoof it forward b4 someone gets you. On average half your kicks should be clangers and half not. Dangerfield, like say Cripps and Bont should be one of the few exceptions as they are big enough to break the tackle most times. BTW Bont is one less clanger than the worst 35 and Cripps is closer to Worpel, worse than Dangerfield. Worp's is a midget compared to them and he's approximatly .375 of a clanger per game worse.
I'll agree his kicking doesn't have penetration, but that not below average AFL, Judd for example hardly hit a target in his career over 30m and nobody cared. But could kick around 50m if the goals were in front of him.
Worpel’s kicking is below average for AFL, but his ability to hit hard in contested situations is off the charts for a 20 year old.
He is the extractor who should be dishing to better players by foot until his gets his kicking up to AFL standard.
Every recruiter knew that in 2017. Hence he dropped to pick 53. He will be fine and will play 200+ games for us.
He will never be a Darren Jarman or a Darrin Pritchard, butnwe didn’t recruit him for that purpose.
I feel your pain threesixpio, my entire in-law family is Essendon. They know to not invite me to games.Be better than the present in laws

I view Worpel as more of a a Brad Sewel type than a Sammy Mitchell.Worpel’s kicking is below average for AFL, but his ability to hit hard in contested situations is off the charts for a 20 year old.

The kid is a star. Big fan also.I'm very big on Hugh McCluggage, would love him at the hawks.
Silly question - what's the table of?

I actually think that Worpedos biggest flaw with his disposal is that often he has more time than he thinks in general play and tends to rush his kicks due to perceived but not actual pressure from the opposition.Very good post. Sam Mitchell and Sewelly both used to have terrible kicking percentages when they played in and under as that's the role. But both were fine with field kicking generally.
If you watch Worpel most of the time he bangs it on the boot as soon as he gets it - obviously what he's supposed to be doing.

Sewell was a terrible kick. I recall in about 2012 he accumulated about 50 inside 50s before he recorded a single goal assist!Very good post.

I hate the 1m handball when he's breaking away from a pack/clearance.I actually think that Worpedos biggest flaw with his disposal is that often he has more time than he thinks in general play and tends to rush his kicks due to perceived but not actual pressure from the opposition.
Given time and space he is actually a decent field kick, especially into the forward 50 to leading forwards.

I’m giving you a group hug through the internetHi, my name's moistie. (Hi moistie) My wife's family support Essendon.
It's bloody hard when they discuss footy and you cannot think of one redeeming feature about their club. And they bought the lie about the drugs program but they know not to discuss it with me.
