From the papers[]
The Age[]
"Despite a four-goal opening term from Peter Sumich, it was evident well before half time that the Eagles lacked someone to ignite them. The brilliant Peter Matera, a player noted for sparking the Eagles into life, was on the bench and unable to assert any influence after being KO'd and carried off after a hip and shoulder from Dear soon after the first bounce.
West Coast was crawling on the scoreboard because of the shutdown jobs down on Lewis, Brett Heady and Shane Bond by Cooper, Ray Jencke and Andrew Collins, with plenty of support from John Platten.
At the other end, the normally stingy defence of the home team was being punished, with Glen Jakovich its only winner.
Hawthorn added four quick goals in the third term to stretch the margin to 53 points before the clouds opened to dampen any comeback from the Eagles."[1]
Canberra Times[]
"But it was the ferocity of the Hawthorn running brigade that exposed problems within an Eagles combination renowned for its defensive attitude.
Midfielders Andrew Gowers, Anthony Condon, John Platten and Ben Allan continually drove the Hawks forward as they broke from their Eagles' shadows.
In attack, Hawthorn benefitted from the return of vice-captain Jason Dunstall with five goals and Tim Hargreaves booted four in his AFL debut, including one with his first kick."[2]
