From the papers[]
The West Australian[]
"The blustery conditions at Victoria Park made it difficult for both teams to execute their skills, but it did give one team an advantage.
West Coast kicked with the breeze in the first quarter and its impact showed early, with the visitors recording nine inside-50s for the quarter to Collingwood's none.
But with just 1.2 for the quarter, the Eagles could not make the most of their advantage and they were made to pay in the second term.
Collingwood kicked their first through past rising star winner Chloe Molloy, before the opportunistic Lambert gave them the lead a minute later with an easy goal from the square."[1]
