RUCK ROVER – LEIGH KITCHIN (Subiaco)
Subiaco might have suffered back-to-back losses for the first time this season, but the captain couldn’t have done much more than to try and will them over the line against Swan Districts. He was tremendous for the Lions with 25 disposals, eight tackles, six marks, three inside-50 entries and a goal.

There were plenty of players who delivered solid performances across Round 12 but couldn’t quite fit into the Team of the Round, including Subiaco's Harry Marsh, Lachlan Delahunty, Chad Harris, Liam Hickmott, Brandon Matera and Greg Clark.
