2 T.Liberatore (FOO)
1 S.Wallis (FOO)
West Coast scored just two points for the first three terms and despite a final-quarter rally were held to their lowest score since the Windy Hill massacre of 1989. Chris Mainwaring and Scott Watters were two players who fought hard against the traffic.

From the papers[]
The Age[]
"By half-time, the contest was all but over - and with only 3.5 on the Footscray credit line. Next up was the wind again, blowing for the Bulldogs, and West Coast did not look likely to find its feet in time to improve dramatically on its two-point tally.
Oh they tried, the Eagles. They did not stop trying, although some could have thrown themselves into the muck a tad more enthusiastically. But, as Malthouse pointed out, they rarely saw grounds in this condition, let alone trained on them.
The half-time statistics were damning. Footscray had not been magnificent in the first term, but it had scored. When the Eagles' turn came with the wind, the Bulldogs blanketed the danger end, then scored the most important of moral victories by managing a goal of their own.
That second quarter was a triumph of Footscray will and physical grit. It was also grim and frightening with its rash of life-threatening collisions, and potential for sub-surface murders."[1]
