Player Watch #24: Tom Powell - signed thru 2026 - finishes 5th in the 2024 SBM.

[Jasemon]

Geez you lot are shockers. Last week against the Coasters he was brilliant and quite rightly received rave reviews from commentators, fans and even us here in BF. Just go back a few pages you pack of goldfish. He's had a fantastic year. He didn't have a great game to his usual standards on Sunday. He had one blue where he gave away a 50. Umpires conveniently decided not to pay us a couple of 50s during the game if no-one noticed.

Either way he found himself in a new role on Sunday with WilPhil taking a large chunk of his CBAs due to the tagging role. His influence was reduced as a result and he needed to learn a new role on the hop. Discussion around him needing to add new strings to his bow I do agree with and that's something he'll develop. He's a class player and people need to just settle.

By strings, hope we mean not giving away unnecessary 50 metre penalties that contribute to losing the game

The comparison between that 50 given and the 50 not given at the end is ugly.

They were both 50’s. we were robbed of it. Anyone who thinks what powell did was not a 50 metre penalty is blind. 100% a 50. You dont pick the ball up, that was a thing when I played footy 20 years ago.

There were so many 50s we didn't get for worse than what Tommy did.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

Can't run, can't kick and not smart.
Should try a deal with crows
Or anyone

Congratulations, amongst some truly shocking posts over the years this the most brain-dead post over seen

 

[nelroo]

IMO Tommy is tracking absolutely fine at his age and experience level. I think some on here have very short memories at what this kid can do. He has a fairly quiet one and out come the pitch forks..

He has one or two mediocre games and all of a sudden he is shit

Powell is a gun and he is only 22?

The first line is 100 percent true.
What kind of idiot picks up the ball for the opposition. At any time. That is brain dead

The second line is a joke. Crows had two picks before us to Draft him but didn't. Obviously better at drafting than us

Yes, Tilthorpe at pick 2 and Pedlar at 11 is an unbeliever haul.

He’s definitely an idiot. A short list of our own unnecessary **** ups that cost the win

Jake Soligio is their one young mid that looks good

Luke Pedlar had very promising season last year as a pressure forward that goes into the middle. Needless to say he’s had a bad year so far

Tom beats Soligio on pretty much every stat that matters. Also, it is fair to say that his stats could be better if he spent more time as a pure mid.

True but he also spends more time on the ground than Soligio who like most inside mids needs to build his fitness.

But it shows the crows midfield is not looking great for the future. They were banking on Rachelle turning into a gun mid, which is questionable now.

Every team had 4 picks before we picked nick Larkey. Let's get rid of him

 

[muttley45]

Not much love for Tommy, but his one handed pick up from LMac's bump, quick give and get, and the kick which i thought had Paul Curtis's name all over it in the dying seconds was bloody impressive.

 

[Frank Thring]

Tommy will explode once he understands his role. He's smart, nice disposal, has pace but we need to settle on a position for him. He's been moved around more than a chess piece.

 

[Kanga Glory]

Big opportunity and we need a big big game , is a natural midfielder

 

[amaz199]

Huge game coming up.

 

[The Dougster]

Yep.

He's one of the key players in George's absence. Has the ability so needs to be dominant today against an extremely strong midfield.

 

[jay317]

Where's the bloke that showed up against Freo? Looked so unsure of himself today.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Pretty bloody disappointing, really.
