2005:
Continuing his form from midseason, Woewodin put in admirable performances
in the losses to Geelong and Brisbane, prior to being one of the best
on the ground in the gripping one point victory over a valiant and
fast finishing Richmond. He also put the icing on the Collingwood
Cake in the emphatic victory over the Fremantle, scoring the final
goal of the night – knocking the last bit of wind from the Dockers’
sails.
2004:
The 2000 Brownlow Medallist spent six years at Demonland before becoming
a Magpie in 2003, much to the dismay of Demon supporters. In his time
at Melbourne. Woewodin showed courage, endurance and skill - all three
being large factors in his Brownlow Medal win.
In his first season at Collingwood, Woewodin was consistent, without
starring. He dominated early in the season before he faded midway.
His best matches were against Richmond and Adelaide early in the year.
Against Melbourne in round 11, Woewodin put to bed the final Demons
that he had carried with him since his departure at the end of
2002.
Woewodin enjoyed a good patch late in the year before fading in the
finals. After scoring the side's first goal of the 2003 Grand Final,
Woewodin fell away dismally as his side went down by 50 points. Keen
to atone for the Grand Final loss, Woewodin started 2004 well, playing
as a leader and showing many others the way. His skill and composure
early in the
season were highlights in a slow start.
