He seems to run at 2/3 pace the entire game. Particularly defensively. Sure, he’s not on his own there at NM, where token running back defensively is all the rage. You could argue he is NM fit. But is he AFL fit? They are 2 very different levels of fitness.

Powell, as well as our other mids, simply have to figure out how to apply heat to oppo midfields. “Clearly”?

I was asked today, “Has Clarko done anything to impress you since he’s been at NM?” I had to say “No” Underwhelming is the one word that sums up his tenure thus far. Not saying he should be sacked, but gee, I’d like to see something impressive at some stage this year from him.

Such as?

Really? He hasn’t really shown anything to suggest he’ll be a decent AFL footballer IMO. He’s another undersized player on our list with no real outstanding attributes other than being a great kid who tries hard. What did Rawlings and co. see in all these sub 6ft guys to think they would...

No shlt!!! Seriously, what would any other club offer us, to bring in a slow, undersized mid who can’t get a game in a winless team????? On the other hand, If he was at another club, there’s no doubt Rawlings would offer up a 2nd round pick based purely on the fact he was a Top 10 pick.

The most surprising thing re Will Phil’s struggles is the fact so many on here are surprised by it all.

Suddenly our loss to the Suns looks half decent.👌

Old Clarko is playing funny buggers it seems.

I’d be surprised if he is worth anything on the trade table

7577969923, can you honestly see him in a midfield with McKercher, Jy and Wardlaw?

Where to from here for Will Phil?

Can someone tell me if Powell has decent leg speed? I can’t recall ever seeing him sprint, particularly defensively.

Colby has A Grade midfielder written all over him.
