From the papers[]
The Age[]
"Madden, also, was magnificent. Eagles Phil Scott and David O'Connell were no match in the air, and Madden was left completely to his strong-marking devices away from the ball-ups.
Bradley had not as much to do, but even though his play-wide opponent Steve Malaxos doubled the South Australian's possession count in his 50th match, Bradley was more efficient. He took one madly courageous mark in front of goals, the response to which was just becoming a livid smear over his right eye as he left the ground.
Milham Hanna had another marvellous day on the back flank, booting a goal as he curbed the alternately resting Chris Lewis and Dwayne Lamb.
Eagles Guy McKenna and Dean Laidley were diligent in defence, but all too often Carlton had the West Coast forwards bottled up, and much of the hard work fell to the on-ball brigade, which was having its own Naley-inspired problems."[1]
