From the papers[]
The Age[]
"Whenever the Eagles attacked, Michael Christian, Shane Morwood and Gavin Crosisca repelled them.
In front of the big sticks, James Manson was having a birthday, marking strongly and, of all things, kicking accurately.
Manson finished with 5.2 and frustrated the West Coast defence.
While the Magpies were doing well at both ends of the ground, much attention was centred on the middle.
That is where their star interstate recruit, Murray Wrensted, who did not see eye-to-eye with John Todd last year, was doing just that with Steve Malaxos."[1]
Canberra Times[]
"The Eagles had triers, including Wrensted's opponent Steve Malaxos. Malaxos also picked up 30 possessions, but the difference was that the Magpie forward line was able to capitalise on the good work of its midfield players.
James Manson booted five goals after replacing regular full-forward Brian Taylor at half-time. Taylor left the ground with a twisted left knee and never made it back on to the ground.
By comparison, the Eagles' forward line gave nothing. Time and time again the ball found its way into the Eagles attacking zone, only to be repelled by the likes of Shane Morwood, Michael Christian and Shane Kerrison.
Malaxos received good support from Chris Mainwaring (32 possessions), and Todd Breman (28)."[2]
