IF the finals picture appeared to gain some clarity after Round 6 of the 2020 Optus WAFL Premiership Season, it's fair to say it opened up again in Round 7 with Subiaco's win over Perth and East Perth's against Swan Districts keeping the Lions and Royals alive. Now suddenly with two rounds of the 2020 WAFL season remaining, there are still six teams right in the finals hunt and only the top four to advance setting the stage for a fascinating final two rounds. Saturday's Round 7 WAFL results kept things wide open in that finals hunt with back-to-back premiers Subiaco keeping themselves in the mix with a 13.12 (90) to 9.10 (64) victory against Perth at Lathlain's Mineral Resources Park.

THINGS are now getting to the business end of the 2020 Optus WAFL Premiership Season with only three rounds remaining and all of a sudden Subiaco can't afford to drop another game setting up a tantalising Saturday match up against Perth to highlight Round 7. Perth last played in a WAFL final back in 1997. It has been a dreadful 23 years since with the Demons not only not taking part in a single finals series, but rarely remaining in contention for a spot late in the season and along the way collecting six wooden spoons. In that time, Subiaco has dominated the WAFL. The Lions have claimed 10 minor premierships since 1997, taken part in 13 Grand Finals and won premierships in 2004, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019. Read More ...
