Moving Back
With his trademark speed on the decline, 1996 saw Peter Matera reinvent himself as a half back flank with great success. This part of his career is often overshadowed by his outstanding years as a wingman but Matera made a fine defender and once again enjoyed All Australian status in 1996 and 97. Matera was named on a wing in West Coast's team of the decade in 1996.

Famous quotes containing the word moving:
“Leaving me guilted on a moving stair
Upwards, down which I regularly fell
Tail backwards ...”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
