He lays just as many tackles and applies just as much pressure as any other player on our team

He’s alright around the contest but you need your wingmen to be able to get back to support the defence and provide an outlet.
Powell simply isn’t great with that part of his game currently.
I do wonder if we dangled Powell to Crows in a deal to get their pick 4.
POWELL and F1 for 4. Would’ve solved a lot of our current merry go round with pick 2. And I love Powell, for what it’s worth.

Nah now way on PC. You don’t think Powell getting slid back in the rotations a bit? I see Simon Black when I watch him, but he’s behind others it seems. He’s a terrific footballer with the pill. Am a fan. Purely chose him as he’s a mid and a SA mid, what they want.
Sold. I’m in. We can’t do it anyway.

There are some OKish players I might think about trying to turn into draft picks, but Powell PLUS our future first (a pick I have zero qualms trading) for 4 is just gross. He's shown he has a very high ceiling with awareness/disposal but has battled some niggling injury/conditioning issues and been played around the ground a bit over the journey. Still managed to get 5th in the B&F this year (even if it was for us, a terrible team). Unless he was asking to leave or something then I don't know why we'd consider it. I know all our ears start bleeding at the word 'potential' these days, but Powelly has it. That second string midfielder who will occasionally pull off some crazy bullshit from a flank and either create a scoring chain out of nothing or kick the goal himself.

Yeah, trading fourth year midfielders with skills such as his for magic beans is the fast track to shitsville.
I purely posed whether it would’ve been discussed. He’s gunna be a gun. Sure beats F1 traded for 15 or 16
Slid back? Based on the BnF he’s only behind LDU and Sheezel currently. The BnF provides a pretty tangible measuring stick IMO rather than just upside.
Given that he’s become a consistent, now proven, young talented mid that loves the club and is settled in Victoria, he’s exactly what we should want.
Mate I love him.....my sole idea was to get 4 off Crows......so we had 2 and 4. I hope not, but I think Draper going to be a better player than Tom and looks ready to go too. My thoughts were Draper at 2 and Tauru at 4.
He seems to be the one a lot of people push out when talking about our midfield mix.
I should've said Phillips, but that would've been derided as a "no chance".
I'd still be chasing Crows pick 4 for our F1

This makes as much sense as J-Lo's endorsement of K Harris.
I'm hoping you've had a bender and these are not your normal thoughts.
I'm sure Adelaide would be stoked if we offered up our former number 3 pick who struggles to get a game in one of the worst sides of all time and averages 5 kicks across his career as a sweetener for their pick 4. Jesus.
Probably bit of both, if I'm honest...was Cup day yesterday
I just love the Draper videos, he's George Wardlaw Mk2.....so was thinking of ways we could've got that pick 4.
Feel like I killed bambi
As predicted
Haha, thought that might be the case! I post some absolute tripe on here and it's usually alcohol fuelled! Tommy's about to start year five and one of the few that has shown genuine improvement and a desire to get better. Reckon he's in for a massive 2025.Probably bit of both, if I'm honest...was Cup day yesterday

I friggin' love Tommy, good shit happens when he gets the ball. Purely floated as a "wonder if we looked at...."
Had had a few sherbs yesterday, of course.....standard issue
I was also over reading all the Tiger flogs telling us we've gotta take 18+20 for pick 2 and we should be stoked.
"Pick 2 is the same as 6 blah blah blah"
Would love to tell em to shove it up their arse and get a better deal.

He’s only 22 too. Only one that came back this year in really good nick too
Where have ya seen photos of TommyP from this year?
He looked a beast last pre season too
Think he means the start of the year.
100%. If in the contest if the ball is in vicinity he isn’t bad defensively.. if he has to work hard defensively, its just not there
