Subiaco is back on the road for a highly anticipated top of the table clash against West Perth this Saturday at Joondalup.
With Subiaco locked in to top spot, Saturday’s game is an important challenge ahead of a team still vying for second spot and a likely finals opponent in 2018.
After a winding five year journey, Subiaco defender Hayden Kennedy last weekend played his 50th league game for the club.
A popular team man, Kennedy has overcome four shoulder reconstructions to play 50 games, with two shoulder injuries in 2017 threatening to prevent the milestone being reached.
Over the past 10 years you would be hard pressed to find a volunteer at the Subiaco Football Club as positive and passionate, bringing the same vibrancy to the club, then Sarah Harris.
Sarah the current head trainer of the Subiaco Colts program has spent the best part of 10 years helping Subiaco’s players continue to get the best out of themselves, a behind the scenes figure with a profound impact on the on-field performance of the Subiaco Football Club.
The senior members of the Subiaco Colts program are currently going through the club’s senior transition program, as Subiaco continues to ensure a strong pathway for development for young players at their club.
Under the guidance of senior coach Jarrad Schofield and colts coach Beau Wardman, supported by football manager Daniel Vidovich and talent manager Michael Farmer, the transition program is a crucial part of maintaining a strong club culture at Subiaco.
The look back at some of Subiaco's famous wins of season's past continues as this week, Round 19 is put in more focus.
This week's edition includes some wins that were crucial in setting up finals appearances for Subiaco. There are a couple of classic contests from the 1980's, a memorable win in the incredible second half season of 2011and a monster three figure win over East Perth.
Subiaco overcame a sluggish first half before a solid second half which saw the Lions kick eight goals to one, which was good enough to overcome Swans at a wet Leederville Oval.
It was a day where the Lions both had and gave goalless quarters, had a season high in tackles and had weight of uncontested ball.

It was not the day for forwards on Saturday, as 80mm of rain in the lead up to Saturday’s match meant that Leederville Oval looked more like a lake than a footy field.
It was a clean sweep Saturday for Subiaco, as both the Reserves and Colts recorded hard fought wins across a soggy day.
In low scoring games, the Colts were outstanding defensively recording a 38 point win and the Reserves had a big final quarter recording a 17 point win.
Subiaco produced another outstanding defensive effort in the wet, holding Swans to just four goals recording a 52 point win in the process.
For the third time in four games, Subiaco conceded less that 30 points, with Swans resigned to their lowest ever score against Subiaco.
Subiaco’s 2018 WAFL Season continues at the weekend, with the Lions looking to maintain form as they get set to embark on another finals campaign next month.
Having wrapped up the minor premiership, top spot and a home second semi final last week, the preparation for that second semi final continues in earnest with all Subiaco players keen to ensure they will be part of that finals side.
