From the papers

The Age

"And while Geelong was trying to pull tricks from up its sleeve early on, Dean Kemp was quietly distributing possession after possession to a sea of eager Eagle recipients, who played the forward percentages perfectly.

None more so than tough little man Tony Evans, who from a forward- pocket gave the Cats a horrible sense of deja vu with four goals - the same number he landed in the 1992 grand final - or Chris Lewis, who Malthouse said later was so team-minded it was at times to the detriment of the team.

Not yesterday, when he had a hand in at least half-a-dozen West Coast goals with tremendous vision and the sort of skills he displayed routinely a few years back.

There was key support when it mattered in the shape of Ashley McIntosh, who made light work of Leigh Colbert then Barry Stoneham at centre half-forward.

And, then there was Glen Jakovich, who managed to give the Eagles a bit of everything while still playing at centre half-back. He thrashed Stoneham early, picking up 11 possessions in the first quarter alone, and maintained his workrate all day. He finished with 24 touches, 10 marks, and a wall-like presence every time he went near the ball that, on this day at least, even Ablett couldn't match."

Canberra Times

"Ablett helping the home side to a 10 point lead midway through the first term.

But West Coast soon began to settle when Glen Jakovich began taking Barry Stoneham apart at centre half-forward.

Jakovich, who failed to see out the previous weekend's loss to Collingwood because of a shoulder injury, was unhindered yesterday. He completely outplayed Stoneham who is now desperately short of confidence after an injury interrupted start to the season"
