1 J.Brown (BRI)
Unfancied West Coast led at every change but were over-run in the final term, giving away seven goals to two to end up going down by 32 points. Utility Adam Selwood had one of his better games, picking up 31 touches, while debutant Luke Shuey provided at least one highlight by kicking a goal with his first kick at senior level.

From the papers[]
The Sunday Mail[]
"Fevola took a tough contested mark over Eagles skipper Darren Glass and kicked truly less than a minute into the second quarter to register his first goal for his new club.
Soon after, Brown took an even tougher mark over Glass and kicked his first goal for the year. The Eagles' waterboy that gave away the 50m penalty by running through the mark only made Brown's task easier.
They were seemingly away as Brown added another major to help the Lions take the lead for the first time on the night.
However, the brilliance of Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui kept the visitors in front at the main break with a goal and a scoring assist leading a West Coast fightback."
