The inside word
A tall versatile defender who can play both deep and high in defence. He is very consistent, good overhead, and very good one on one. Powell can run off his opponent as well and has shown reasonable endurance. Reads the play well and shows not only the ability to win the ball back, but also to run to space and create counter attack. He averaged 13 disposals on his way to playing in a Claremont colts premiership this year.

Subbed. I plan to help out as much as possible in this thread

Rowen's WAFL stats from the last couple of seasons.

 

[Eastern Rangers]

I'll watch with interest and add some things where i can. I'd bank on him being given two years at least to show what he can do, as he'll do really well in match simulations and impress the coaching staff.

Recruiter's comment: “We will be patient with Rowen who is a developing tall player and a young man in whom we see great upside." - Craig Vozzo, football manager​

[Shupe]

Yes.

 

[eaglesfan99]

how do u make a signature

 

[Shupe]

Grab a piece of paper and messily scribble your name on it.

 

[eaglesfan99]

i mean for the forums

 

[Matera92]

I believe he is in the rehab group after some surgery. Will be interesting to see how he develops In the WAFL this year with the more professional atmosphere.

 

[Matera92]

So no game for Rowen over the weekend, however he is not on the injury list according to the WCE website. I imagine he'll make his way back through the East Perth reserves.

HURRY UP AND PLAY SOME FOOTY ROWEN SO I HAVE SOMETHING TO WRITE ABOUT!!!

I think someone said in the WAFL thread that he'd hurt his shoulder or something?
Edit: found it:

Powell had shoulder surgery.

Thanks for that! He isn't listed on the injury list which is frustrating, no idea where he's at.

WCE forgotten man!

He had surgery a while ago and was also dealing with some pretty major family issues. I'm sure he'll be back playing soon.

I hope so, need something to report on!

First game of the season for old Ropo! Hopefully can stay fit and get some form and fitness under his belt and improve on his first outing.

8 Kicks, 5 Marks and 2 tackles.

'In the reserves, developing key position player Rowen Powell had his first hit-out of the season and had eight kicks and five marks.'

 

[Matera92]

Ropo! Fantastic game on the weekend in the Reserves. One of the best for a badly beaten Royals, provided drive and run off the half back line, even managing to sneak forward and snag a goal. Will be pushing for league selection with a few more performances like this one. Eagles website is lousy with details of this fine young mans performance, so a big BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to them.

Would love to see a couple of tackles in there, other than that can't really ask for anything more.

Go Ropo!

 

[ChampRevesby]

Developing well.

 

[Matera92]

The Great Ropo taking Mark of the Century.

 

[Matera92]

The Great Ropo breaking the sound barrier.



Look at how jealously Dom Sheed looks on as he can only dream of having such a god like build and blistering pace.

 

[Matera92]

Solid game from The Great Ropo on the weekend.

' Powell, who is edging closer to a senior opportunity, gathered 18 touches and five marks.'

Keep going Ropo, greatness awaits!

 

[Matera92]

Not even The Great Ropo, was able to get the East Perth Reserves over the line on the weekend, going down to the Sharks by 4 points. (Yay Sharks!)

Another solid contribution from Ropo in the backline.

12 Kicks
3 Handballs
4 Marks

The West/Worst had this to say about the Great Ones work on the weekend.

'Rowen Powell - Found the ball 15 times in busy reserves effort.'

Will continue to build in the Reserves as he aims to get a couple of league games down the track!

Go Ropo!

Well thats Ropo's season done and dusted. Hopefully he can get himself right, have a huge pre season and get himself in the mix for senior selection down at the Royals in 2015.

Now what the hell am I going to do with myself for the rest of the year?
