1999 AFL Season: Round 20, West Coast v Hawthorn

West Coast's poor recent form continued with an upset two-point loss to the Hawks at the WACA. The Eagles held what appeared to be a comfortable lead at quarter time but Hawthorn fought their way into the game, and hit the front approaching the final siren before a stunning smother by Michael Collica on Phil Read sealed the win. Chad Morrison had 29 possessions and Ben Cousins picked up 26.
