West Coast’s elimination final against Hawthorn in 1992 has been voted in at #19 when the Eagles earned a home final for the second year running against Hawthorn.

With the 1991 grand final defeat fresh in their minds, the team banded together to play some miraculous football in the final three quarters, digging itself out of a four-goal slump in the first term.

Dual premiership player Brett Heady believe the competitive spirit within the team was behind the sensation turn-around.

“The camaraderie and competitiveness among that group was unbelievable,” Heady recalls.

“You could not do the warm-up without blokes competing to beat each other in the sprints, it was just bragging rights all the time about whatever.

“Suma used to take it a bit too extreme by having three Yumbo’s at Hungry Jack’s when everyone else was stopping at two. It was just that sort of competitive spirit.”

The WACA Ground was a sea of blue and gold as crowd flocked to witness the blockbuster match. Among the highlights, a Karl Langdon goal which had fans on their feet.

“That goal should just never have gone through,” Langdon admits.

“When you boomerang it from that side, it shouldn’t go through. But this thing just sort of went the other way, and it went through the goals.

“It was like a superior power had grabbed the goal and taken it through the goals. I was just amazed that it went through, I think so were most people. The fans sitting behind the goals couldn’t believe it. But that was very nice, very satisfying.”

The historic victory saw West Coast meet Geelong in the semi-final the following week, only to line up against the Cats again in the 1992 grand final which was to be West Coast’s first premiership.
