Worsfold defended his decision to man-up any loose Sydney defenders last Saturday in a move that resulted in a crowded Eagles forward set-up that failed to function efficiently in the cramped spaces.
On the other hand, Barry Hall and Michael O'Loughlin thrived in the Swans' forward 50 as they moved around at their leisure, kicking nine goals between them in a match-winning effort.
"I think most times the opposition want to get a loose man (in defence) because they don't think they can beat us one-on-one. I've got no doubt if we let the opposition have a loose man in our forward line that we would score less and the opposition would score more," Worsfold replied when quizzed about the tactic.
"The criticism doesn’t surprise me; everyone's allowed to have those criticisms. If I reacted to every time someone criticised us I know I wouldn't be here today coaching and I doubt I would have had the success I've had in various areas of my life.
"People keep saying to me, 'do you have to tinker with your game plan?'. You do that every week. You don't go out there and everyone plays exactly the same role every week.
"We pick our side and we plan every week very thoroughly for the opposition. If people say that we've played the same style of footy all year then they've got what I call a mediocre football mind."
The Eagles will tackle the Western Bulldogs in Saturday's semi final clash at Subiaco Oval, and Worsfold acknowledged it would be a tough challenge for his players.
"You are not going to stop their run," Worsfold replied when asked how he would contain the super-fit Bulldogs team.
"It's going to depend on which team wins more of the ball and uses it more effectively. The Bulldogs are a very good talented side and we believe we are as well."
A loss against the Dogs would see West Coast crash out of the finals in straight sets after finishing minor premiers with a 17-5 record, but Worsfold said no thought would be given to that scenario.
"It's all about playing the Western Bulldogs and playing our best football and seeing our talented team out there playing heart and soul like they have all year. It's just business as normal," he said.
Bulldogs champions Scott West and Rohan Smith will both notch their 300-game milestone in the match, but Worsfold dismissed suggestions it would fire up Rodney Eade's men even further.
"My own experience is that I went out and played every game as hard as I could and if I had a teammate playing his 500th I couldn't have tried any harder," Worsfold said with a smile.
Another Dogs veteran, Brad Johnson, is in career-best form after booting 70 goals during the regular season and Worsfold said he was still undecided on who would play on the dynamite forward.
"He is an outstanding footballer and certainly deserves his captaincy of the All-Australian side; I thought that was a great selection. He poses a good challenge for us," Worsfold said.
