AFL - 1992 Premiers: West Coast Eagles
2002, 150 minutes, Rated G
1992 was the year that saw those outstanding raiders from the west, become the first non-Victorian club to win the AFL Premiership.
In front of 95,007 at the MCG, the Eagles engaged in a stirring contest with Geelong for the first half, but after the long break the game took on a different hue.
The Cats had their chances early to steal a significant lead, but having failed to do so, this most disciplined and slick team was always going to take advantage.
The brilliance of wingman Peter Matera, the poise of Guy McKenna, the goal sense of Tony Evans, the defensive strength of Ashley McIntosh - they all conspired to rain on Geelong's parade.
The Eagles had done their apprenticeship the previous season and came to the MCG this day ready to prove themselves a worthy champion. They convinced the football world of that.
