The big question was if the Falcons could take advantage of the wind when it was their turn. Things were looking good when Kepler Bradley marked and kicked accurately within two minutes. Another behind to Brent Lecras followed but when Chris Hall kicked a major for the Lions at the twelve minute mark the lead was back out to the quarter time difference. At the fifteen minute mark a Brent Lecras goal was the start of a Falcon fight back. Adam Radici, Callum Chambers and Craig Smoker combined to get the ball forward to Mark Seaby who kicked a major from thirty metres. A strong attack on the football by Adam Campbell three minutes later saw Andrew Strijk bounce one through from sixty metres. It was a clever kick into a deserted forward line. The margin was now only one straight kick but dual Sandover Medallist, Allistair Pickett, stepped up to kick a goal and a behind to enable Subiaco to take a thirteen point lead into half time. Scores were 6.4 (40) to 4.3 (27).
West Perth certainly showed that they can match it with the league leaders and the result will give the side confidence if they meet during the finals. Dan Hunt was adjudged best on ground outpointing Brad Smith who kicked only two goals after being well looked after by the umpires. Mark Seaby was next best after controlling the ruck. Dustin Burns was the highest possession getter and gave plenty of run off half back. Dion Fleay and Brent Lecras also received awards for their defensive efforts. South Fremantle and Perth losing today has helped the Falcons cause but the next three games loom as vital. East Fremantle at Shark Park next week will be a real challenge. Congratulations to the Reserves whose sixth win has taken them to the brink of the four.
