From the papers[]
The Age[]
"After five minutes of desperate football that prevented the deficit from blowing out any further, West Coast clicked into gear with a chilling efficiency Geelong knows only too well. Which explains the funereal atmosphere at the final change.
Most fortuitously as it turned out, Peter Sumich was forced to leave the field with a quadriceps injury. It was no great loss.
His absence allowed Ashley McIntosh to move to full-forward, where he was immediately too tall and mobile for Tim Darcy. Don Pyke switched on to Bairstow and immediately shut him out of the game, while at the same time, picking up a swag of possessions himself. Bairstow's previous minder, Dean Kemp, moved into the centre where he thrashed Paul Couch.
The other key to West Coast's resurgence was centre half-forward David Hynes, who added a fresh dimension to the forward line after spending most of the first half camped on the interchange bench. Hynes was involved in almost every forward thrust from then on and made the Cats rue the loss of injured pair Ken Hinkley and Barry Stoneham all the more."[1]
