ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict

— HOLD

Worpel's 68 in Geelong's 54-point home demolition of Collingwood is a heavily suppressed blowout number — in a 54-point win the contested midfield shuts down in the final quarter and scores dry up. Adjusted for context this reads closer to 85-90, consistent with his 102 season average and clearing his 53 BE comfortably. Cash gen is bleeding at -$1,817/week but the underlying role and scoring capability are intact. Hold — one blowout context doesn't change the premium mid read.
