Ford took a couple of short steps and let it bounce. He could have got there and attempted to mark at least with a bit of a dive.
Off a significantly lower amount of possessions, just shows how effective and efficient Powell can be

He's going to be one solid rooster in a year or 2..

His drop in form was noticeable prior to last Saturday so it’s not surprising to see that’s his best game in months.
That’s the standard now.
I hope Clarko keeps him in the centre bounce rotations.
Would be foolish to mess with his form and pigeon hole him to a flank with Wardlaw back.

Hope so, that with a tank and his skillset it is the way as I don't think he'll ever have the run to be out of the contest too much.
Hopefully he gets to Sam Mitchell level. He wasn't quick but made everyone else round him better
He has good genetics! His dad was only 175cm but weighed 87kg. Solid unit. Tom is 184cm. He'll be hard to move off the ball and very hard to tackle when he is in his prime.

I remember his first gamer when I was like jesus we can't send that kid out his balls haven't dropped yet
As I said previously, he makes good decisions and is a good kicker of the ball i50.
Loved the torp on the weekend. Hopefully now fans can see his potential. Maybe he doesn't need to be in the center all the time, could be a very handy flanker.

The beauty of that is how he played after that hit.
He wore that and threw himself at everything afterward. I'm so impressed with his game at the weekend.
When Clarko said he wanted players who could stand up in September he was talking about players who did what Tommy did late in the game on the weekend. Also Jacko and Bailey Scott. There were others as well, more obvious players I guess - Sheeze, LDU, JY, Corr, Chom.
He played better in the middle? The previous three weeks he was predominantly on a flank and had little impact. I agree he could be handy on a flank but his good performances have been when he's had solid mid minutes.
The bloke that can only play one position and only managed 12 disposals.
I really think that he could act as a defensive sweeping mid or 7th defender and patrol the arcs: pushing back when we have won the footy on the back half and being that last kick out of the defensive 50. The guy sees the game as well as Sheezel, has tonnes of offensive smarts and is just about the best kick in the side.
Use his strengths.
What I mean is, don’t expect him to be a clearance bull and 30+ possession maker, but he makes good decisions, and we need players that can do that.
Simon black mk2. Have said it all along. Big luv for this bloke.
Yet he played early on like he had coconuts.
He puts a fair bit on the table and doesn't take much off. He doesn't cancel out his positives with negatives.
You need flashy superstars but you also need guys who are consistently very good, and they are always underrated.
Was good to see Simpkin apologise for the hospital kick straight away to
When it’s not on his terms he needs to find a way to stay involved.
He was so flat footed and reactive around the stoppages today.
At his best he is so bloody good, at his worst (today) he is a liability because he is so poor defensively.
The void between his best and worst games needs to get smaller if he is to become the player we all want him to be.

Started in the center today so doesn't have the positional excuse.
Good lesson from the best in the competition.
