Also what's up with Tom Powell? Not the role everyone was hoping for?
I personally don’t rate him. He’s tidy & clever when he gets it but there’s nothing elite about his ball-winning ability - whether it’s role, fitness, strength, speed, size or a combination I’m not exactly sure. His piggy abilities that got him drafted highly in juniors came in SANFL U18s, nothing translated to senior level yet (SANFL VFL AFL).
Same North fans who are big Powell are usually big on Phillips too.
I think there’s a lot of denial about that draft being a bust for us considering we traded away the chance to draft Pickett for it, and missed Logan McDonald too.
