Boland revelling in chance offered by finals-bound Subiaco

Friday, August 8, 2014 - 4:20 AM - by Chris Pike
Matt Boland couldn’t find a regular VFL spot and hadn’t played finals for some time when he made the decision to come west to join Subiaco in 2014, and the full-forward has been a driving force behind the Lions now seemingly being guaranteed of a top two finish. The 23-year-old full-forward had spent time with both Sandringham and Collingwood in the VFL, but due to those club's AFL alignments he could never quite earn a regular berth. That meant that when Subiaco came calling for him to join the WAFL, he was only too happy to take up the challenge and he has delivered in spades so far kicking 47 goals in his 16 matches this season in a Lions team currently only 0.02 of a per cent behind the league-leading East Perth on the ladder.
