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.

Young Subiaco midfielder Daniel Leach made a long awaited league debut last Saturday, lining up for the first time as the Lions league side battled Claremont.
It was the culmination of a whirlwind 18 months of hard work for Leach who joined Subiaco for the commencement of the 2017 pre-season and has integrated himself as one of the popular figures of the senior team since.
