Pity he won't get the plaudits he deserves, given we're getting hammered each week.

Razor sharp footy brain that creates something from nothing at a level very few posess.

Why do you think he wont get the plaudits he deserves?

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

I think Powell is getting some recognition - at least by North people. You wouldn't think too many opposition supporters know who he is yet, but I reckon they will know him in a couple of years. Good on him - he looks a likely type

The blue and white stripes he wears. You’re battling up hill to get the recognition you deserve playing for North at the best of times, let alone when we’re at the bottom of the ladder. I lowkey love it though - feels so good when (if) we prove them all wrong.

 

[nelroo]

The biggest challenge for us will be holding on to him though unfortunately

Bullshit.. we hold onto the players we want very well..

 

[the big lebowski]

Surprised with his toe

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Nope Sholl 31 touches and 1 goal for the crows today. However, it will come eventually.

Sholl will win the whole thing. He's a jet.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Will end up a better handballer than Cunners in traffic.

His hands are extraordinary for such a junior player - quickness at getting the ball away, able to judge the length of the handball, peripheral vision off the charts.

Our best prospect in many a long year.

Well i never saw todays game due to being so busy i dont even have time to punish myself watching us play, but what i have seen of tom in the other games i haze zero concerns, you cant teach the touch he has.

We’ve managed to draft Simon Blacks love child with pick 13.

Phillips could turn into Lance Picioane and we’d still be ahead in last years draft.

the only player we failed to hold onto was greenwood

The speed of gather and release is amazing!!

It's not a whinge as such, just an observation. He will likely get more recognition once our overall performance as a team improves.

 

[LB2Snake]

Sholl will win the whole thing. He's a jet.

And deservedly so....he was a pick 64 and plays like a top 10er

No chance Phillips lets us down imo, but Powell - yeah he looks great. Such a mature footy head on his shoulders. Maybe theres something to drafting guys who naturally get leather poisoning?

I don’t do SC. But apparently a lot of people have him in their team according to my bro.
So yeah - he’ll be well known on that basis.

 

[Roosurgence]

The biggest challenge for us will be holding on to him though unfortunately

You would think Adelaide and Port will be planning how to get him back home as we speak.

Let’s hope this group gels together and he wants to stick around and be a part of it?

Kid oozes class.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Completely hypothetically, if he did want to return, from his efforts so far, you’d be asking for a kings ransom.

You would but I'm racking my brain as to the last highly rated South Australian forcing their way back there.

 

[ohh_v]

I can't fathom how he gets some of his handballs to hit a target, and his ability to do it so swiftly is elite.

Improving with each game he plays - he's going to be a star for us.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Gun.

 

[Shermanator]

We’ve managed to draft Simon Blacks love child with pick 13.

Brilliant comparison.

If we’re consistently top 4 then he’ll be red hot in Brownlow betting.

 

[amaz199]

He just continually looks for the right target to open the game up. Unreal elite hands.

His vision in traffic is something that you would expect from a bloke with 100+ games.

It is actually scary just how far he could rise.

 

[Only Forwards]

Polec?

From Brisbane.
