In this 96th edition of the annual Grand Final held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the pioneering West Coast Eagles secured their first premiership against the record-breaking attack of the Geelong Cats by 28 points, and in so doing became the first non-Victorian based club to achieve the ultimate success in the newly nationalised competition. On 26th September 1992, West Coast 16.17.118 defeated Geelong 12.13.85, in front of a crowd of 95,007. Peter Matera was awarded the Norm Smith Medal as best afield.
