Better this week, but will benefit from the rest.

Agree. He's not running out matches and when the intensity is right on you can see he's not quite ready.

It's a pity, because if he was playing in 14 other sides he would win the RS easily.

Unfortunately we have brought Powelly down to our level - he started off the year so brilliantly and carried it on for some time - however being is such a dud team will catch up with even the best youngsters and that is what has happened here.

Rest up over the bye and give it another crack Tom - we are backing you in.

He was absolutely stuffed after this gut run to smother this ball.

 

[The Nostradamus]

He’ll probably get his rising star nom this week based on body of work still had 18 touches also. And no one else has warranted a nom more at this stage

Shows what footy IQ can do over fitness. Obviously getting the smart guys fit is best but he used his last tickets to get to the spot he knew the ball would be, any sooner or later and he's completely out of the contest.

Jesse W. I can still remember him waltzing through the Essendon midfield at the G one day kicking a goal after about 5 bounces. Sigh.

Wasn't that Etihad ?

It was a great goal....

The half a mark & 0.9 hitouts were clearly Tom's undoing.

Cox has been good. Tom will get his nomination at some point. I'd rather celebrate it after a better showing.

I rate Cox but if he gets a nom after a 9 Disposal game, this award is a bigger joke then I thought.

I was saying that Tom will play better this year and the nom with a better showing.

And did you hear all the carry on from the commentary team about Cox.

Powell's been the single biggest highlight of this year for me. He has elite midfielder written all over him. That said, he's looked a touch off his usual in the last few weeks and the Club should have rested him coming into the bye to freshen him up imo.

isnt that actually what the bye is for?

We're just trying to get bang for our draft pick buck given he'll be leaving 'cos his gf likes Adelaide and we can't win a game.

Decent chance to get the nom this week...if they reward consistency. Robertson, Rivers, Jones or Collier-Dawkins probably had better games.

Didn't see Bianco's game, but they generally don't hand out the nom's to people on debut unless it's a real standout game.

 

[KangaRooster]

Didn't see Bianco's game

He looked pretty good tbh, lively and used the ball well

Powelly will benefit from the rest as much as anyone, he'll have a big game in the next 2 or 3

He's worth more in Supercoach so that should sew it up!

All the nominations seem to come from teams that win. I think Tom Green is the only one nominated in a losing team when GWS only just lost to the tiges.

Makes you wonder if morons ultimately judge who gets this award & that it's just a Mickey Mouse accolade?

They're making it up to "Bont" with a pre-ordained Brownlow Medal.

The Leigh Matthews Trophy is probably the only credible award left in the sport.

Even the Coleman Medal has been severely tainted by lop sided draws.

Really hoping that Tom is one of the other contract extensions alluded to in the Mckay video.
