  Nicknamed "Gomez". A very hard player to match up on when playing in the forward zone because of his spectacular high marking ability and canny pace around the ground.  

Footscray

 Has thrilled us with his spectacular high leaps, the one over Rohan Wharf in Sydney was a beauty. Showed his love for the Bulldogs one game by kissing his Bulldog logo after kicking a a goal against Essendon.  
Western Bulldogs Played on the wing, half forward and sometimes in the forward pocket. Later in his career he played as a half-back-flanker.  
   
  Although he took a heap of memorable marks; Hawthorn (on the wing at Waverley); Essendon (backwards and over the top in a night game); West coast (Final 98 with both knees in the back), and several crazy attempts. In the 1997 final against Sydney, he almost killed himself and Grant in the process.

His best was the one against Sydney. He had hang-time the like you haven't seen in AFL (Anyone seen Clyde 'The Glide' Drexler in NBA, that's the air and hang-time levels he achieved against Sydney)

He was a real lucky charm in our early games in 1997. All the regular season games he played in were wins until midway through the year.
 		  
   Started to lose form in 1999 but after he was traded to Port Adelaide and kept on the half-back line he played spectacularly once again.

 In the 1999 National Draft traded him to Port Adelaide for Nathan Eagleton and draft pick 28 for which they received Brent Guerra. Powell was also involved in the trade and we got the pick that nabbed us Wiggins.
