wow stephen powell 32 goals playing from the midfield! imagine our brocky pulling sumthing like that next year?

despite the wiz's manya downfalls, i really do miss him a lot and he'll always have a special place in my heart.

where was neitz predominantly playing in 2000?

thats exactly why i found these stats, because i was looking to find if there was a significant stage of his career where he swapped, that was obvious in the stats.

might be easier in graphical form. plotted goals and scoring shots versus time...

Neita played all over the place in 2000. He spent the last part of the season bw ff and chf , but earlier in the season spent a lot of time at CHB (Ingo covered full back for a while). Neita played an absolute blinder against the Lions at the then Colonial Stadium at CHB earlier in the year. From memory it was a night game and may even have been a Monday night. He got the full Brownlow votes and took about 15 marks I think.

How sad is it that i cannot remember Neita playing anywhere else bar FF n i'm only 22.

Damn beers. totally ruined me.

Jacey, he was a ripping CHB. He played for Victoria at CHB in 1994 in only his second season. In fact, at one stage Wayne Carey had him alongside Glen Jakovich as his toughest opponent. Scwarter's knee at the beginning of 95 meant that Neita went to CHF where he made All Australian in only his third year. He was an absolute gun!

regarding neitz i always said that he would've been one of the best CHB's ever had he stayed there. but had he stayed there he probably wouldnt be around now (not in that capacity anyway). what would have made a difference to the mfc was a fit lyon at FF and schwartz at CHF allowing neitz to stay CHB. had these players stayed injury free i would go he if we didnt win a flag. alas it wasnt to be.

Spot on, Deanox. My brother and I were at preseason training in 95 when Scwarter first did his knee. He had come off a brilliant 94 and looked like he was going to be anything. Lyon held up quite well that year (kicked 70 odd goals) but the bad back started to kick in. No doubt it cost us a flag. Especially when you add Prymke's bad back. It meant moving Neitz, which was probably good for him as you point out, but the injuries cost us a flag and Balme his job in the end!

Good work d'ok....

People seem to forget that Stephen Powell had a ripping year in 2000 that went unnoticed by many. He was fantastic that year and got so much of the ball.

Powell's influence in the midfield that year made other teammates look better and was crucial in one teammate winning higher honours.

Its a pity injury and greater opposition attention stifled his influence. He never approached the levels of performance he achieved in 2000.
