Toast Welcome to Fremantle Karl Worner (pick 8 2021 rookie draft)

[Rob]

"Debutant shows effort", so rare for that to happen. His decision making was pretty bad, but that isn't too concerning for a first run at it. His delivery was a bit more of a concern though.

Yeah, he looked panicky whenever he got the ball - which is a bit of a concern as the game was well and truly over by the time he got on the field and you'd think the pressure would have dropped a little.
Not that he should get axed, if anything it's worth giving him a go as part of the 22. You'll certainly find out how composed he is with the ball against Collingwood.

Wouldn’t mind betting that he’ll be out with calf injury. Had ice on it and was emotional after game ????

Absolutely should be kept in. I'd be all for developing players to get 3 in a row, unless totally untenable to do so.

Injured unfortunately.

Karl?

Really bad fortune. Just got a gig as sub after good work in the WAFL and then gets injured when he had goodchances for follow up game with a few players to miss this week...

Heard a rumour that Karl did his calf in the warm up and didn't say anything, not great if true

I wouldn't have said anything either, poor bloke. Imagine if he did and was a late out with his whole family watching, would've sucked for a young bloke.

 

[sdfc]

The kid's cursed. Gets injured in his first game and then has people spreading rumours about him.

 

[CapitalA]

This guy ain't it, been a complete liability in defence. Delist for mine.....

Harsh. But I see what you mean.

 

[Dockeroo]

Don’t want to be harsh but…

 

[apuchar]

Probably tired and sore after his first full game last week but he wasn't good enough today.

He recently received a 2 year deal through to the end of 2025.

 

[s_wd6]

sheesh give him more than two games before writing him off

He hasn't shown much at the top level but his sample size is two games. Bloody hell I'll wait until the end of next season before making a judgement on him. Wagner was s**t in his first two games but has been awesome this season.

 

[pK75]

He’s not a very good defender. Hughes offers much more at present, I’d like to see him moved back to the wing.

 

[Lach72]

Not good enough tBH

 

[Footskill]

Funny how when earlier on in season when we still had something to play for everyone was insisting to play him, but now we got nothing to play for and he is in, everyone is bagging him

Well we have given Hughes a decade and Banfield 7 years in the system and they are still making basic errors on a regular basis.

So why not give Worner some time.

 

[Arkhitect]

Yeah, nah.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Both him and Wagner shat the bed tonight

really weird with Wagner. He was going along like a German band, then lost all confidence and was fumble city

Clearly we should but he needs to be stronger in the contest than he was today. I assume Chapman will take his spot and he will resume as a backup.

 

[Nolo180]

I missed the game due to work but watched the afl highlights which pretty well consisted of Worner getting goal kicked on him... surely there's some positives to take out of it somewhere?
