I'm sorry to have ever doubted your work rate while in SA, Tommy. I love you

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

It moved.

Young Tom is something like Tom Mitchell in his style of play but hopefully he turns out more like Sam Mitchell in a creative /influence sense

He's gonna be a ****ing unit when he fills out.

Didn't expect it would be this quickly.

Someone posted a pic of his old man the other day and he looked an absolute keg. If Powell can push people away on top of all his other skills then hell be unstoppable as the clearance winner/2nd possession clearer of congestion. Stevo/Tarryn can just start running forward as soon as Powell has it in his mits and expect a handball to advantage.

Our boy has way more depth in his kicking. It gets overshadowed by his handballs but his kicking is good.

Having said that, both those blokes you mentioned are Brownlow medallist’s so wouldn’t be complaining either way.

The only query I ever had on him was weather or not he has the genes to put on enough size to be a full time mid (bit like Basti), no concerns there, he’s noticeably bigger already. Kids going to be a gun.

An we gonna watch him make it on the 9 o'clock news!

That vein is as big as my arm

I usually have to look down to see a vein that big.

We have finally hit the gym hard this preseason. It’s so good to see!

Calling it now… everyone’s excited about JHF, but it’ll take him a couple years to reach real greatness, and in the meantime 2022 is the year the greater viewing public gets blown away by The Powell.

I think we'll see a few players fly under the radar this year

 

[Makeshift Park]

I know Nobes is all about player flexibility, and Powell services our wing needs, but given his progress this kid needs to get some serious inside mid contested footy time this year

This Generation are putting in the hard work in the gym

Surprised he's put on that much already, will only enhance his play. Kid is going to be an absolute star. But I still laugh at the training reports in his first pre-season where everyone was saying he was very 'vanilla'. Turns out he's everything but, and boy am I glad.

 

[r_boy]

I'm not saying anything new but I agree with everyone that this guy is insanely talented, can definitely win a brownlow.

I think the team would benefit from a Pendlebury-like role from Powell - midfield and a bit of half back. He's a weapon coming out of defence.

He’s playing 4D chess.

Everyone else is playing with crayons.

This is pretty close.

The guys has stunning vision, spatial awareness, is one touch and pin point disposal

More and more and I think he is Cunners protégé.
