From the papers[]
The Age[]
"Dean Kemp played his usual polished game, Andrew Donnelly was prominent and Rowan Jones did a vigilant smothering job on Nathan Buckley. Scott Cummings was constantly a threat until forced off by injury, Fraser Gehrig got his hands dirty to kick five goals, and the Matera brothers in forward pockets threatened always to make something from nothing, and frequently made that threat good.
When Ben Cousins twisted his ankle, the Eagles scarcely missed a beat, Peter Matera immediately taking up the slack. Ashley McIntosh and Drew Banfield did expert, if unspectacular, foreclosure jobs on Anthony Rocca and Paul Williams.
Collingwood, constantly under pressure, either moved the ball poorly or turned it over altogether. Buckley and Anthony Rocca missed long-range shots at goal that they were kicking earlier in the season. Buckley at the start of the third quarter and Chris Tarrant at the start of the last missed shots that might have spurred the team on."[1]
