Autopsy The what ever happened to files - Robert Powell edition.

[captain blood 17]

Robert Powell, we got him from Collingwood in the mid 90’s and he really looked an exciting, skilled, pacey player.
Every game i watch that he plays in, he is tearing it up.
So, what the hell happened? Did injuries kill his career? Fall out with Geish/Frawley?
I rated him when i used to watch him, and still like watching his work these days. Who can help? Who has a fond memory?

I remember one day in the late 90's we smashed the scats at the G and kicked 5 goals that day.

Played with Powelly at reservoir in the last few years of his career 2008-9ish still had it.. lethal left foot. Kicked 13 in one of his final games. Good knockabout guy, loves a beer and a bet.

Me and my mate nicknamed him “show pony” when he was as playing. I remember him being flashy and when it came off it was a great highlight . Sometimes a bright light on a dark day.
