Pretty sure he was on track this week but may be wrong

He was there last week and on Monday. He looks very inobtrusive, very 'vanilla' in a way, just goes about his business. I expect we will be noticing him more once there is more match sim stuff happening and this vanilla bloke keeps on getting the pill.Pretty sure he was on track this week but may be wrong

Yeah, perhaps a bit more inside capable than NDS. Maybe a Luke Parker/NDS mix.That's how I also see him. He's an unobtrusive link man who just gets to the right positions, then utilises disposal very well. A bit like NDS.

More attributes than ceiling.Big Call, NDS was a decent player in some strong sides.
3 x AA & runner up in a Brownlow.
Not quite as handball centric and more likely to be an outlet. A true inside/outside player.Tom Mitchell

Who knows how good he will end up being? Attributes wise he looks to me to be a combination of NDS and Parker styles.
He did it at U/18 level, averaging 10 clearances per game, so he has got the contested ability. He also has the outside link up ability. He seems a truly well rounded midfielder.I'm not seeing Luke Parker levels of inside ball winning.

Has this bloke been sighted at the club since being drafted or is he MIA?
I haven't seen anything about him through any of the social media posts or on here.
Or did he come in with an injury and not on the track?
According to an early GR post (one which has graphs) while he can accumulate his execution isn't that flash.So this bloke is a walking 30 possies, inside clearance grunt/outside link up man with tidy skills and an automatic footy brain. What's the knock/s? Athletic profile? Soft? His possession aren't damaging? Seems to me this is the type of player we've been missing for years. Who was our last guy that you could pencil in for 30 touches week in week out, maybe Simmo?
Jesus, he really is the Chosen One. They say he passes solid gold turds......He did it at U/18 level, averaging 10 clearances per game, so he has got the contested ability. He also has the outside link up ability. He seems a truly well rounded midfielder.
He was taken in the first round so not really a slider. His stats are great but never cracked the SANFL side. He's a bit skinny. He has a good, not great athletic profile. His kicking also seems to be in the average or above average category.So this bloke is a walking 30 possies, inside clearance grunt/outside link up man with tidy skills and an automatic footy brain.

Most of the guys taken before him impressed in better leagues, were more athletic or were highly rated KPP. Tom is a little unsexy in comparison but, as stated earlier, he went pretty close to the top of his range and was surely rated highly by many clubs. I'd say if Adelaide didn't reach for Pedlar we wouldn't have Powell.
