Twomey sees similarities in Subiaco of 2014 to Swans of 2008

Thursday, July 31, 2014 - 12:31 PM - by Chris Pike
WAYDE Twomey saw the potential in Subiaco for 2014 when he signed on to cross from Swan Districts to join the Lions and now he's looking forward to the challenge that awaits his new team this Saturday against East Perth in Medibank Stadium's top-of-the-table clash. Twomey arrived at Swan Districts in 2008 from VFL club Werribee as part of a strong recruiting drive that led to a grand final appearance that year, preliminary final berth in 2009 and then the 2010 premiership. He went on to play 98 games with Swan Districts in between a season in 2011 with Carlton in the AFL, but found himself needing a fresh start and challenge with his football at the end of 2013, and when Subiaco came calling he liked what he was hearing.

Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - 12:35 PM - by Chris Pike
THE top three WAFL teams all recorded victories on Saturday but two of them only did so by coming from behind at three quarter-time but the results do mean that the finals positions are now well and truly set after Round 18 of the 2014 season. Conditions right across the four venues made it difficult to play attractive football but it certainly created for some fascinating fixtures. In the end, East Perth beat West Perth 5.9 (39) to 2.6 (18) at Leederville's Medibank Stadium, Subiaco defeated South Fremantle 13.15 (93) to 12.12 (84) at Fremantle Oval, Swan Districts downed Perth 11.11 (77) to 10.11 (71) and Claremont won over East Fremantle 7.10 (52) to 4.11 (35) at the Claremont Showground.

Round 18 WAFL Results

Saturday, July 26, 2014 - 9:14 PM - by Chris Pike
THE WAFL's top three teams all ended up winning on Saturday but didn’t have it easy with two of them having to come from behind at three quarter-time while Claremont continued its strong recent form with a win over the fourth-placed East Fremantle. Consistent rain over the course of this week and still during Saturday morning meant that all four venues were far from in top shape making the conditions difficult for quality football, but the result was some fascinating action across the afternoon. In the end, East Perth beat West Perth 5.9 (39) to 2.6 (18) at Leederville's Medibank Stadium, Swan Districts stormed home to beat Perth 11.11 (77) to 10.11 (71) at Bassendean's Steel Blue Oval, Claremont downed East Fremantle 7.10 (52) to 4.11 (35) at the Claremont Showground and Subiaco finished strongly to beat South Fremantle 13.15 (93) to 12.12 (84) at Fremantle Oval.

Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - 10:34 PM - by Chris Pike
