Last time we met: Swan Districts

2019 OPTUS WAFL PREMIERSHIP SEASON ROUND 5

SUBIACO v SWAN DISTRICTS

Subiaco 11.13 (79) defeated Swan Districts 9.7 (61) 

In round five of the 2019 Optus WAFL Premiership Season, Subiaco met Swan Districts Steel Blue Oval in an away game that saw Subiaco lock away the four points after securing an 18 point win. 

Subiaco came into the game having not lost since the 2017 Grand Final and having won 24 straight matches since then including last year's Grand Final and also having beaten Swan Districts on the past eight occasions.

After a strong first three-quarters by Swan Districts, Subiaco's winning run was in real jeopardy but the Lions responded with the only five goals of the last quarter courtesy of Sokol, Kyal Horsley, debutant Jack Mayo, Moore and then Josh Deluca as they pulled one out of the fire to win 11.13 (79) to 9.7 (61).

Simon Moore returned to Subiaco in 2019 and picked up where he left off becoming a regular member of a line-up that's tough to break into. He kicked three goals on Saturday for the Lions as did Ben Sokol from 20 possessions and 11 marks.

Four-time premiership player Josh Deluca racked up 32 possessions along with eight marks, six tackles, six inside-50 entries and a goal.

Hayden Kennedy gathered another 26 disposals for the Lions with Kyal Horsley finishing with 25 touches, Leigh Kitchin 22, Greg Clark 21, Max Walters 21 and Craig Hoskins 20.

Lachlan Delahunty was impressive once more with his versatility finishing with 26 possessions, nine marks and 17 hit outs.
