Player Watch #24: Tom Powell - signed thru 2026

[LuvtheKangas]

One of the least funny comedians ever.

To be fair, weren’t there a lot of us on here angry just last year that Clarkson wasn’t playing Powell? Who knows, hopefully it’s a similar response for will

To be fair Will was in the hits for the majority last year. One of the reasons Powell didn’t play in there

Certainly didn’t quite work out for Tom today as well as past fortnight in being able to get his hands on the ball but 15 tackles - the level of intensity can’t be denied and major improvement from last season

He really tries even when it's going south.

He's a shinboner.

 

[ferball]

More tackles than possessions.

 

[hotchilli]

Like the whole midfield group today just wasn’t tidy ball use.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

At least his tackle numbers were up and he had a good q4.

 

[FootySmartSimpson]

Like the whole midfield group today just wasn’t tidy ball use.

Were they instructed to handball directly to the opposition?

Take the tackle and the HTB call, at least it gives the defence 20 seconds to reset.

Bizarre.

As I've said before, don't sleep on Powell

His hand balling in the contest is Cunners levels

Just saying lol

Nah but he is a gun and I am so happy we gave him a 2 year contract. Could definitely see the ability early on.

His dedication alone in the gym is what a true leader does, he set the tone and trained his ass off. Wish other players would find the gym key and follow In his footsteps

Disagree. Freddy got Fingered is a work of art. The plot of the movie is about taking a studio's money and doing the dumbest shit you can think of with it instead of something they can actually sell. That's brilliant.

How did he go vs the cats?

He got 26 disposals.

He has been getting plenty of the ball this season.

And yes he is one of my favorite non dockers players.

Had some nice moments but midfield group as a whole were comprehensively beaten.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Powelly is a big big part of our midfield woes, with his reactive nature and inability to spread with any sort of intensity.

But I also feel he is a big part of the solution, because a lot of it is due to a poor structure but it also comes down to his maturity.

Keep pumping games into him!

 

[LuvtheKangas]

His disposal by hand is still sublime.

 

[Psicosis]

His disposal by hand is still sublime.

His footskills are as good. Only time I'm confident are when he & Sheez have the ball.

 

[amaz199]

Not as sublime as this kick to Drury! Excellent build up too.

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

His acceleration is actually pretty good. Speed is a bit different. So he can dart off pretty well, almost as well as ldu. But closing speed and or top speed. I think both of them are pretty grim.

Oh he hasn't sprinted defensively as yet. So as we say the Drury is out. As there is no proof.

Tackles and contested possessions increases are tracking in the right direction

 

[speedy]

I think its 75% physical improvement with Tommy. He just needs to get bigger, stronger, faster.
