On the day the first senior Western Australian club team had beaten a Victorian side on the MCG in any match, the Demons slipped back into many of the habits that had crippled them before their run to a Preliminary Final the previous year.
Best were Campbell, Newport and G. Lovett. Steven Febey suffered a corked thigh and Dean Chiron a bruised ankle.
