CLANCY Wheeler could very well have been Subiaco's most important player in the premierships of the last two years and the versatile big man reaches his 100th game for the Lions this Saturday against West Perth at HBF Arena.

Combine that with his ability to play some tremendous football both at centre half-forward and centre half-back, and he has put together an outstanding 99 games with the club that started with his debut in 2011.

WEST Perth and Peel Thunder both scored their first victories of 2016, and South Fremantle remained unbeaten in tough and wet conditions for Saturday's Round 2 WAFL matches.
