More than normal, and still half as many as most.

LOL. Fumbles or not. In our top handful of players today despite being hung out to dry on a wing. He's a deadset midfielder.

He got the ball a bit but did nothing with it. Hopefully just a bit rusty.
Prolly about 2 or 3 nice clean creative touches of the the 15 odd he had. Everyone can have a down day but like a lot of the blokes we have they are not going to get many opposition's this year the standard of Hawthorn. Iam concerned there will be some serious beltings when we meet the 14 odd middle and higher rated sides.
Lol, had 21 touches, cracked in all day and I don’t think stood in a single center bounce, so did plenty with the amount of opportunity he got.
The grilling Ziebell gave him after Lewis pulled his pants down in the goal square was utterly embarrassing for an AFL captain to a young player of a dozen games

Tom played his 14th game today (first in nearly a year) got 21 touches and people are coming for him. Tough crowd. Had more than Thomas and Zurhaar combined.

Yeah, this. The criticism of him today was weird. 21 touches arguably being played out of position after being a late in and missing half of last year with OP. Super encouraging performance.
And the fumbly stuff doesn't bother me one iota because we know that it's an aberration and will rarely happen on that level again

There's about 15 blokes I'd be questioning before Powell tbf. Not a worry at this point.
Yep poor by JZ, he needed to own his stuff up

Can we just like not play polec and keep playing Tom Powell every week?
It's fine if he has to compete for his spot and earn it, that's a good thing to have. He will be forced to develop in a way many of our players who stagnated weren't.

This. Anyone who thinks we can’t do with another bloke hoe can kick the aggot successfully to another player is deranged.
Polec, Perez, Curtis and Cunners would make a huge difference IMO
Our selection committee need an anthem - going TLC No Scrubs to be played at 4pm on the loud speaker every Thursday night as a gentle reminder.

Not his best but he still pulled off one of those handballs only he can muster in the third or fourth quarter. Clearly needs to ease back in.

He had 21 possessions, 8 contested. On raw numbers, his highest are 25 D, 10 Cont. and 23 D 7 Cont. tho he got 9 contested touches in his second game. (16 disposals then.) He took 8 marks, which he has done once before (in that 25 touch game I just mentioned.) But it was one of his better games. Top 3 or 4.

Happy to defer to you on that, illuminating stat line.

I thought he was pretty solid given his preparation has looked a bit rough.

It wasn't really a stuff up. He was right to expect powell to come in from the side to help the contest. Ziebell was 1v1 with a 199cm KPF. They were were stationary and ziebell almost got it to ground level. Powell was unaware and too busy watching his opponent. Powell knew he should have helped. You can understand ziebell's frustration especially when he's always throwing himself in to help contests

For sure. We are guilty of not communicating and all going up but on that occasion if it's ziebell it's your turn to go. He needed help wherever he could get it
