GOOD LORD this kid is special

 

[DEVO]

Powell, TT and Simpkin with the Fred Astaire footwork, LDU with the breakaway speed and Cunnington with the "don't argue", a full strength mid field is going to be fun to watch.

Will Phillips, JHF, Goat, Greenwood...

It's stupid how good this midfield might be over the next couple of years.

Powell might just be the best player to come from his draft year.

 

[Liam Boy]

Recruiting departments across the league rated this guy below 12 other players. ******* how? 13 isn't exactly a late pick but surely if they did the draft again, Adelaide would have taken him at pick 2.

 

[Frank Thring]

Holy s**t, he's put on size. He looks twice as big.

Come on round 1

I’d back LDU to do exactly the same thing.

I thought of Cunnington straight away. No pressure though

 

[Shinboner1]

I thought the first he stepped was goater

 

[Kanga Glory]

How did he do that, special , our forwards will be getting a lot of looks

 

[King Hansen]

Amazing by Powell but terrible defence.

Watching Tom's 2020 highlight video recently (not for the first time! ) I couldn't stop thinking 'Cunnington' - not so much for the sublime handballing, but the sheer variety, nonchalance and inevitability of his fabness. Nailed tackles, marked strongly, snapped goals or drilled them from set shots under pressure, one touch off the deck under the pump....oh, it's Tommy, he'll do it.

The confidence a player like that gives to team mates is invaluable, just hope that Cunners and Powelly get to strut their stuff together for an extended run.

To be fair, he was the same colour as a witch's hat.
