WAFLW: Round Four Match Preview vs Swan Districts

Subiaco will aim to keep up their winning momentum when they take on Swan Districts at Steel Blue Oval on Sunday March 13.

The clash is set to be a heated contest, with both teams in similar positions heading into the round.

FORM

The Lions were able to shake off losses in the opening rounds to walk away winners in round three against South Fremantle.

The blueprint is there for the side, who have shown glimpses of their best across the opening matches, but will need to be switched on against the Swans.

Swan Districts have had a similar start to Subiaco, losing their first two matches before winning in round three.

It sets up an exciting match, where both teams will be looking to take home the four points.

LAST TIME THEY MET

Subiaco will be looking to get revenge for their Preliminary Final loss against the Swans last season.

Despite a strong effort where there was only one kick separating the two sides at half time, the Lions went down by 38 points.

In tough games, it’s important for a team’s leaders to stand up, as was the case in this match, where Hayley Miller, Tarni Golisano, and Jayme Harken were among the top performers for Subiaco.

ONE TO WATCH

Subiaco are looking to break a four-game losing streak against the Swans, and the key may be in a player who used to wear the black and white.

Nyra Anderson has flown under the radar after moving to the Lions ahead of season 2022, but has been important for the side.

Her ability to find a target inside 50 is an asset to the team, while her football smarts means she’s a difficult player to match up on.

A member of the 2019 and 2021 under 18’s state squad, the 20-year-old will be looking to show her silky skills off against her old side.
