The best news of the lot so far, the kid is a gun.

 

[shinboner magic]

Him handballing is like the rest of us taking a breath - he’s a natural.

 

[trooroo4life]

Barry Cable would love this kid. Stunning hands this early in his career, his vision in some of those clips is insane.

 

[Ligma]

Could watch this video all freaking day, imagine what he does in his prime jeeeeez

I couldn't tell if the club was trolling - in the video still for this it shows Powell & Kelly in the same shot and talks about three and a half more years of watching them combine.

 

[Mixed Results]

The highlights coming out of the club have been unbelievable lately.

I thought the work done last year was pretty ordinary, but the Hall, Thomas and Powell stuff has been great.

What a player he is already after half a season. I watch his physique & he looks a like a kid left over from the little league. I have no doubt that He will take over Cunners as the most important player in the side .

Beautiful to watch, nice work whoever did the video. What that clip highlights apart from the great skills, is a footballer that already knows what hes going to do with the ball before he gets it. We are very lucky to have this kid.

I hate to say it cos I hate the pies but he def has a bit of the Scotty Pendleburys ... the game slows down around him when he has the pill in his hands ! I know these type of players are two & far between but I really can’t remember us ever having a player with this type of attribute . We are very lucky to have him

Which two? Sorry......

Lol.

A bit late for by classic 100 vote!

[Snake_Baker]

He actually hand passes.

I doubt he'd get a game for the dogs or cats.

 

[Mjs94]

His speed of mind is so evident in those clips. I can't fathom how he is able to commit to a handpass and change halfway through and still hit the target.

Reminds me of Dal Santo in his prime.

I get the Pendlebury comparison though.

North’s Powell play

Tom Powell has agreed to a new two-year contract extension.

Did lol when he said he needs to work on his reaction time. Funny kid.

 

[northbergs]

It’ll take 5 premierships over 8 years before the rest of the footy world finally recognises the awesomeness of this midfield rebuild! Thomas - LDU - Powell - Stephenson - Simpkin - Phillips - Lazarro - Horne!

How do you genuinely block his options? Because if you block one, another opens up.

It's so hard to just play 1v1 and hope he chooses the least beneficial option. Doesn't work. He thinks faster than you can defend the pass.

 

[KangaRooster]

Lol.

The Conductor

The Maestro

On ya Powelly, get used to the Royal Blue we aren’t letting you go anywhere

 

[Ashley B]

His rising star nomination still awaits, not holding my breathe.

 

[Jasemon]

That was pure magic. Just think what we'll witness if this kid continues to develop with us over the next 12 years or so.

Haha yeah I was thinking exactly the same thing. I instantly thought he was taking the piss. In half a season as a 19 year old he's shown faster reaction time and vision than fairly much anyone else on our list, other than perhaps Cunners and Thomas. He thinks like a chess player.

I'm not convinced we're getting Horne based on recent showings.
