Lowly-placed Sydney kept pace with the Eagles for a half but weren't able to maintain it, with West Coast slamming on six goals in the third term and ending up with a comfortable 26 point win. Guy McKenna led the way with 29 disposals as Dwayne Lamb became the first Eagle to reach 150 games.

From the papers[]
The Age[]
"The Eagles were forced to rearrange their forward line late in the second term when they lost key forwards Peter Sumich and Brett Heady with hamstring strains. Sumich, in his first game back after injuring a hamstring in round six, limped from the field clutching his right leg midway through the term, a minute after Heady departed.
Malthouse was forced to move Ashley McIntosh to full-forward in their absence and he responded with two telling goals.
For Sydney, full-forward Simon Minton-Conell was its best player in attack, finishing with three goals - but four bad misses early in the match cost his side dearly.
At centre half-forward, Dermott Brereton struggled against Glen Jakovich and spent much of the first half on the bench after giving away two 50-metre penalties. He was dragged for the first time four minutes into the match.
Sydney ruckman Gavin Rose dominated the ruck duels against the three- pronged Eagles contingent of Ryan Turnbull, Jason Ball and David Hynes."[1]
