West Coast were forced to come from behind against an inexperienced Sydney side that held a two-goal lead more than halfway through the final term before the Eagles kicked the last four to take the points. Mark Merenda kicked two of those to finish with three for the match, and Ben Cousins again led his side with 26 possessions, 7 tackles and 7 clearances.
