Worpel (foot) is listed as a test for Round 23 against Richmond.
ANALYSIS
Worpel was a late scratch from Round 22 and will look for one more chance to play in 2021. With 21.1 disposals per game this season, Worpel has often been a solid, but not star-caliber midfield option in fantasy.

Hurts foot in win
Worpel suffered a foot injury during Sunday's 97-78 win over Collingwood, according to Jonathan Healy of AFL.com.
ANALYSIS
Worpel had scored goals in seven straight rounds and logged over 20 disposals in all but one of those games before his early exit Sunday. He doesn't have much time to return before the season ends if this injury proves to be significant.

Offered sanction for rough conduct
Worpel was offered a one-match sanction after he committed rough conduct against Sydney's Harry Cunningham in the third quarter of Friday's match.
ANALYSIS
Should he accept the one-match sanction, Worpel would be ineligible for Hawthorn's match versus Essendon in Round 14. The club can also elect to challenge the match review officer's decision. A final decision on Worpel's status should be available in the coming days. The midfielder posted 18 disposals and four marks, registering 68 fantasy points in the match versus the Swans.
