Ubi Dubi Well Done Subi!!!

Subiaco are WAFL Premiers for 2004 after easily defeating Claremont by 48 points at Subiaco Oval.

Subiaco won 15.9.99 to 7.9.51. The Lions were far too classy for a young Claremont outfit. After trailing by only 19 points at the long break, Claremont were totally demolished in the second half, kicking just three goals while the Lions piled on eight majors. Subiaco won the game thanks to a dominant midfield.

Paul Vines, who won the Simpson Medal for the best player on the ground, Mark Haynes and Josh Wooden were outstanding. They were well supported by the likes of Webb, Cossom and Robbins.

On the other hand, Claremont struggled to find winners in the midfield. Experienced players Jaxon Crabb, Ben Cunningham and Andrew Browne were all well below their best. Claremont also struggled up forward with Anthony Jones the only winner in attack. He worked tirelessly and finished with three goals, easily Claremont's best player.


Subiaco, by contrast had two outstanding forwards. Sam Larkins booted four goals, including three in the first term to set the Lions on the path to victory.
Brad Smith worked his way into the match and kicked five goals, giving him a total of 107 for the season. Claremont made a run at the Lions in the early stages on the third term, getting to within 13 points, but couldn't maintain the intensity.


Subiaco finally broke the Tigers spirit late in the third stanza before completely running away in the final term. Subiaco were also well served in defence by Todd Holmes, Ben Keevers and former East Perth player Caine Hayes.


Greg Harding, Darren Kowal, Brad Wira,Clancy Rudeforth and Tony Delaney tried hard all day for the Tigers.

Apparently Subiaco's captain Richard Maloney has retired.

The WAFL has said today that they were happy with the attendance yesterday at the GF. 21,507 saw the Lions win the Cup for the first time since 1988, by 48 points. Smith kicked five and Vines was rewarded with his best on ground appearance winning the Simpson Medal.

No bad reports were made on the crowds behaviour, although the attendence was lower than the past few years.

CONGRATULATIONS SUBIACO ON WINNING THIS YEARS PREMIERSHIP.

Check your facts, definitely more than 2003.

The WAFL has said today that they were happy with the attendance yesterday at the GF, 21,507

Last year there were only 17,000 and the year before that when East Perth were in the final of their three premierships there were 32,000 at the GF.

Hmmm i am beating the WAFL or WAFC want to see East Perth return to a GF or either see an South Freo v East Freo final.

Attendances seem to be getting smaller and smaller every year unfortunatly

 

[Luke Logan]

They should be getting between 28,000 - 36,000.
