Player Watch #24: Tom Powell - signed thru 2028

[Blightys Barrel]

Vanilla again - has so much more to offer this team.

 

[Moti]

Vanilla again - has so much more to offer this team.

Doesn't have an effective position now he has been pushed out of the middle. Would be great to have some options for a replacement but a little thin, except George who would be the protype HF/Mid but he is a bit away.

 

[Chadwiko]

Was bad today.
Very bad.
Should be dropped.

 

[amaz199]

Dat 2020 draft is looking

Ugh... probably one of the few negatives today

 

[Aberration]

Absolutely needs to be dropped off that game alone.

Doesn't seem to offer enough midfield or forward.

 

[The Butcher]

Worst game ball in hand for Towely that i've noticed. Off ball is usually the weakness, not today. Couple decent handballs but his field and goal kicks on preferred foot weren't up to his usual standard. Cunners missed a couple over the journey, thats the bar i've set for Tom, given his history. If the bar was Ziebs or LDU.. this game wouldn't even register. Hope he lifts at the next opportunity.

 

[RooInNorthLondon]

He is honest but he’s not the level of the lads around him. A weak link.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Had some nice touches in the 4th quarter, prior to that though he was absolutely deplorable, arguably his worst in north colours.

He needs to take a leaf out of Parker’s book. Find that inner drive to impact the contest at all costs, at the moment he’s lacking in so many facets of his game.

 

[tazaa]

Vanilla Floater.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Tom Cunis.

Neither one thing or the other.

 

[Lomas]

He needs to take a leaf out of Parker’s book. Find that inner drive to impact the contest at all costs, at the moment he’s lacking in so many facets of his game.

Also needs to take another leaf out of Parker’s book and bounce back from poor performances. Parker was shit in the first half and did his best to square the ledger.

 

[Moti]

Was bad today.
Very bad.
Should be dropped.

Had 8 score involvements today, so got involved despite a pretty anonymous day. He is a gap filler at the moment and we don't have too many options that we can move around.

 

[Midas]

Was up and down today but too talented. Just need to find his role. I reckon half back in 2-3 years is where he lands.

 

[Johnny99]

Thought he was pathetic.

Vanilla is the perfect description.

He is soft as butter.

 

[Makeshift Park]

He's been poor all year, but this game was the worst I've seen him play in memory.

Can't help but wonder whether the lack of time around stoppages has left him feeling aimless?

 

[Arthur Cloke]

I don’t like Powell

 

[justroyal]

You kick those two.

we may as well have another Banch out there, at least he has some speed

 

[Moti]

Don’t think he is built for playing a bit role. Doesn’t have the power or speed to adapt.

Plus he appears to be managing an injury so combined that doesn’t add up to A grade football

 

[tazaa]

Had 18 touches.
Missed 2 easy shots that could have set the tone for the day - similar to Zurhaar.

6 turnovers, 50% by hand and foot and just the 2 touches in the last quarter.

If he’s injured it makes sense cause he’s just going.

 

[LETSGOKANGAS]

Pissed me off all game and for heavens sake change that bloody profile pic.

 

[Lavy_Panther]

I’m a Tom Powell fan. But he was awful. Maybe the worst game I’ve seen him play.

 

[Skarrz]

NFI what position he plays

 

[nelroo]

Very frustrating player. Has lots of ability but games where he puts it all together are very few and far between.

 

[speedy]

Not every best 23 has to be a star. I think we are sitting pretty if he is bench depth for our midfield/forward line.

 

[Reginald0]

Team wins
TP a team player
Has hardened up not difficult
Hands are elite
The way he opens the game up is a beautiful thing
Gotta have players with touch
That turnover stat really needs a bit of context
Makes it sound like he is kicking straight to an opponent 30 yards away
Might just add 8 score involvements
That’s has to be good
