By The Numbers - Round 3, 2018

Subiaco made it three wins from three starts in the WAFL 2018 Season as they recorded an emphatic 96 point win over Swan Districts on the back of an 18 goal to one domination after the quarter time break.

Hayden Kennedy kicked a first ever goal on a career day, Lachlan Delahunty was one hit-out shy of a quadruple double and Brad Stevenson and Ben Sokol each kicked four goals in the big win.

These are some of the other numbers from Subiaco’s third win of 2018.
