Subiaco finished their time at Leederville Oval for 2022 on a high note with a dominant victory over Perth on Saturday, August 27th.
With a day full of milestones for the Club, including Leigh Kitchin’s 150th WAFL game, Ryan Borchet’s 50th WAFL game and Lachlan Delahunty’s final game, Subiaco was too strong from the bounce.
With multiple goal scorers, the Lions showed their versatility throughout the midfield and forward line, whilst their defence continued their Read More [+]
Delahunty said he’s always been appreciative of the Subiaco faithful. Whilst their passion on gameday is highly regarded, it’s the caring nature of the supporters that hit home most for him, and reminded him of his home in Victoria. He said fans were always willing to have a chat and introduce their loved ones. They always gave their support no matter the circumstance.

Meanwhile, skipper Leigh Kitchin will notch up game number 150 for the club, and the boys will be looking to win for them.

2019 was another special year for Delahunty in more ways than one. It capped off a fourth flag in the chapter of his career, but also marked a shift in the eyes of the competition. After spending 2018 as a centre half-forward, Zac Clarke’s recruitment at Essendon meant a move back to the ruck was on the cards. Delahunty averaged 27 disposals, 17 hit outs, and six marks per game, and kicked 15 goals across Read More [+]
Delahunty’s career with the Lions has been nothing short of extraordinary. In nine seasons with the club, he’s played finals in all but two of them. Subiaco made the Grand Final on seven occasions with him in the side, and they lifted the trophy five times. Anyone in the competition will tell you how difficult it is to win one premiership, let alone five. He joins club legend Darren Rumble as the only Lions to Read More [+]
It’s a widely reported story. How Subiaco put some beers and some fishing rods on a boat to secure the services of two gun Victorians for 2014. But for Delahunty, it was so much more than that.
Prior to the season, forward Matt Boland was always poised to join the Lions, but Delahunty’s future wasn’t so clear. He had been in talks with West Perth for the two seasons prior, and said two things occurred Read More [+]
“Bonnie Arbor once said “you are part of a puzzle in someone else’s life. You may never know where you fit. But someone’s life may never be complete without you in it.”
To answer that it is quite simple. Your fit is front and centre at the Subi Sports Bar and without you, we are not complete.
