Lachlan Delahunty topped Subi’s disposal count and continued his remarkable form with 31 touches, 15 hit outs and five marks, while midfielders Kyal Horsley and Leigh Kitchin finished with 28 and 24 disposals respectively.

Jordan Lockyer and the rest of the defence were great for all four quarters, keeping the West Coast forwards to four goals all game and 11 scoring shots, with 41 Inside 50s.

Ben Sokol kicked four goals for Subiaco including the first of the game from 13 possessions and seven marks, with Ryan Borchet booting three majors, and Max Walters and Tom Edwards-Baldwin both kicking two.
