Gees ARMITAGE is like Stephen POWELL...

[WinnersOnly]

Gees David ARMITAGE is like Stephen POWELL. He has very similiar attributes POWELL possessed...

He is good at the in and under stuff , an aggressive tackler, his running style and pace are very similiar, he always looks knackered but keeps battling on, he is a left foot kick which he occasionally sprays and even their kicking actions are similiar.

It's uncanny how recruiters see the same attributes in players they have recruited in the past. The only problem is the game is considerably faster than when POWELL was playing, but if ARMITAGE can have a similiar career to POWELL the SAINTS will be happy!

I'll be thrilled if you are right- I'm pleased that Ross Lyon has really made him earn his selection, it seems to be paying off now.

[jonesy]

Haha true,never noticed until you mentioned it.
He's got a better foot on him than Powell , but can be wayward still

[degruch]

Abused any bloodnuts lately?

[SaintWodonga]

Better kick and quicker than Powell, but I see your point.

[The darkness]

Had 13 tackles last sunday...but will he keep his spot in the side ?

[QuestionOfAccuracy]

I'm pretty confident Armo is much quicker than Powell (no disrespect to Powell).

bloody hell
i just checked that stat and i didnt realise he had that many.
i like armo
like his gusto
flies the flag
gets in and under
reads play well
just needs to get the kicking eff a bit better

can see the sims with powell

[sainters man]

He is quicker than Powell.

[SaintHomer]

haha, good spotting. i believe you're right.

very powell-esque

[Ghost Like]

All the grunt stuff is great, just needs to make quicker decisions so his disposal is better.

[The darkness]

I think he has 3 games under his belt this season and is just starting to get used to the pace ,going by his numbers from last sunday I think he deserves to keep his spot but may get pushed out due to Ball and Gearys form in the twos. Have always rated him and i think he has a bit of the x factor about him...usually kicks goals when given the oppurtunity and sets up others well for shots on goal...gives 110% too.

You need to look at your keyboard.. your CapsLock key is turning on intermittantly

[hotdish]

What a tackling gun!

Round 19 - 10
Round 20 - 3
Round 21 - 10

We definately need him in the team come finals time!

Is a goal kicker, and wins the contested ball!!!

[strauchanie]

I like him, he reminds me of heath black

[mick13]

Reminds me of Leigh Matthews...

*runs*

[reincarnated]

He reminds Reincarnated of Reincarnated

[kosifantutti23]

but if ARMITAGE can have a similiar career to POWELL the SAINTS will be happy!

He must be due to go to his second club by now.

Would love to relive that moment at the start of this years GF

[Bono]

Armo can kick it 10 times as far as Powell could as well!

[maverick]

Powell was much tougher, he was seriously hard....

I like Armo, but I think his possession count is down and tackle count up because he waits for the opp to get the ball first and then tackles, he needs some coaching from Lenny as to when to get the thing and when to tackle.

[FullMonty]

Reminded me more of Luke Hodge than Powell but can see it now that you mention it.

[DWOODROW]

Any chance someone can put up some footage of Powell. I'm interested to have a look.

[ctqs]

Can't see it. Better kick. Nowhere near the mongrel.
