Our biggest test to date, how the hell are we going to turn him into a poorly skilled plodder?

Use the proper terminology - how do we shitmen him?

 

[speedy]

The handball was so instant is seems like he knew Jy was there before he got control of the ball. I just don't know how?

200 cm

Another key is he is clearly comfortable using both hands, so there's no adjustment required if he gets it on his "wrong" side in traffic like that.

Send him to Carlton for 2 years.

The player port took with the Polec pick.

What a master stroke by Joyce!

WE. WERE. NEVER. GOING. TO. BE. ABLE. TO. USE. THAT. PICK.

This kid reminds me of Simon Black, his hands are incredible.

Here's another. In all that traffic, he sees Lmac on the outside.

he must have extraordinary depth to his vision, like a good batter who sees the ball out of the hand earlier than anyone else

Someone should keep an ongoing folder of this s**t. When he retires I wager it will stack up against any elite handballer throughout football history

Greg Williams and Barry Cable are the best in the last 50 years. I suspect Powell is of that quality with his use by hand.

Knows what he’s doing before he has the footy.

The anti-Atley.

 

[Liam Boy]

seems like the kind of guy who flourishes with his back to the wall. it might even be good for his development that he's had this baptism of fire, by the time we're good he'll be really, really good

I can't get over how good literally every part of this is. Loses his balance, taps the ball back to buy himself time from the opponent on his right, then somehow spots Simpkin and flicks a left-handed bullet through two other opponents. Then still has the instinct to jump backwards and avoid contact at the end. The speed of thought required is just insane.

If that was one of the ordained ‘superstars’ you couldn’t find enough ajax to clean the mess.

And Powell didnt have to break stride from the Phillips pass. Amazing the difference that makes. If Stevo was even slightly held up by the pass he wouldve had to have circled around the Crow's player while players flooded in. Great passage of play that.

It’s what happens , when none of the players were coached by bard.

 

[RossHenshaw]

The anti-Atley.

And doesn’t react like this when he has the footy either .... holy F
You gotta love our 216 gamer ?!!!

Bollocks.
