To all the Subi diehards from both here and FG...if this site closes tomorrow let me say it's been fantastic sharing the greatest period in the clubs existence with you all and despite what others say, Subi is a fantastic club with passionate supporters and a proud history. We've been through some very tough times over the years and now we should all enjoy the spoils and the other supporters of opposition teams who take exception to what we're doing and achieving can get stuffed. Hopefully this site will live to fight another day but if not....Glory, Glory Subiaco.

Hahaha, why don't you tell us how you really feel BC .I remember many years in the 60s and 70's and early 80's that Subiaco were the cannon fodder of the WAFL, apart from the Ross Smith era that broke your premiership drought. So I would say enjoy your success as these things invariably don't last forever. I recognise that you are a passionate Lions fan and a WAFL diehard. I haven't always agreed with your views but hey it would be a pretty boring world if we agreed all the time wouldn't it?. Good luck to your team but not so much next Sunday.

Glory Glory for very few, and those in the majority don't rate any of it as anything but cheating so get stuffed back!!

cheers mike ...you too for the rest of the season and well done to your guys today.

Most of the skill errors were by the Dees DG. Subi too slick and too good but the stats were very even. It was a pressure game and the Subi boys handled it a bit better than we did.
The free kick stat could not be right IMO. Probably an even count if the truth be known. What I do know is that the Dees gave away 3 free kicks in front of goal in 3 minutes in the second quarter which resulted in goals and enabled Subi to break open the game.

Smokey, those stats are correct have checked it on the WAFL site, not a big issue as that's the case for us most weeks as we are seen as a pretty physical team, a lot of frees get passed over as play on but no big issue. Yes there were a couple of clumsy ones in front of goals by your guys, so obvious they had to be paid. The one on Shepheard he would have marked but was dragged down over the shoulder and the one on Mckenzie was where he was tackled when the ball was a couple of metres away.

The game was very patchy, with some good free flowing stuff by both teams then some very ordinary stuff with horrible skill errors. The game was pretty even in all areas except for scoring efficiency which your guys butchered, but you had no problem winning your share of the footy and your spread out of defence was excellent. A big factor for your inaccuracy was some solid pressure from our backs which meant a lot of shots were from a long way out and from deep on the flanks, but there were some real sodas missed as well.

We got smashed in the taps again but that has been the case all season and most of last as we haven't had an actual ruckman, Dela and Clang are more your ruckrover types and do really well around the ground, compete strongly at stoppages but cant match the big fellas that most other teams have. Our mids have adapted to this wonderfully well and non better that Kitchin who was the BOG by the length of the Flemington straight with 39 quality touches, must be right up there with Hams as the front runners for the medal so far. Dela had a great game with 33 touches, Phez, Robbo, Horse, all good and Cockie was once again at his brutal best with some strong clearances and tackles, but he did cop his share as well, the Perth boys were up in our faces a fair bit so credit for that, our backs were ok with their pressure causing a lot of missed shots but if the D's had there kicking boots on it could have got ugly.

Good game by Shep with 5, had 3 shots from the square, one was a relay, one a clear free and the other a great pack mark. Mckenzie had another good game not hitting the board as well as last week but great pressure inside the 50 which caused a few turnovers.

Was a shame Broughts didn't get up for this game as was reported, anyone know why? Or just an extra precautionary week off?

Swans up at Bogundean next week, early 11.40 start so it must be the TV game. Swans will be up and about after a stirring come from behind win over the handbaggers, then it's a bye followed by two massive games against the Doggies and the Gummies that will sort out who is the top team. We will need to be playing 4 solid qtrs against these teams to get over them, any suggestions that Subi have the flag wrapped up are a bit premature until we see how we go against these teams.

Ditto to most of that mate. Fans up in arms about Subi's dominance is ridiculous this early in. I'm amazed we are 4 from 4 playing like we are. Swans fans doom and gloom but one win from third spot?
I was disappointed Broughton didn't play. I heard that he didn't quite come up so another week off. Kitchin and Delahuntly excellent, another I would throw in was Lockyer. He is almost impassable at CHB and does play against bigger blokes most of the time.
A few passages of really good slick play and I like the way Subi try things out, but it looks ugly when it doesn't come off. I thought it was a horrible game to watch, just a half of nothingness after half time. Hope tough little bugger Kennedy is ok, stretchered off with what looked like an ankle injury?

No Swandud, this is cheating

Swandog - the good think about the facebook stalker is not only is he not very smart, he keeps giving evidence to confirm that he isn't smart.
its a win/win situation.

"Swan Districts will have to pay a fine of only $10,000 for their 2011 salary cap breaches after the WAFL arbitrator found the original penalty was "manifestly excessive".

The WAFL last year fined Swans the maximum $25,000 for eight declaration errors amounting to nearly $8000 from the 2011 season.

But arbitrator Brendan Taylor reduced the penalty after accepting the club's claim that the unrecorded payments had not caused it to break the cap.

Swans also argued that a lesser penalty was warranted because the club had cooperated fully with the WAFC investigation and had improved its player payment and recording procedures.

"I find that the penalty imposed of $25,000 was manifestly excessive," Taylor said in his findings.

"While the number of declaration errors for the 2011 season was significant and amounted to a serious breach of the rule, the mitigating factors … lead me to the conclusion that a fine of $10,000 ought to be imposed."



Taylor accepted Swans' claim that their 2011 processes were inadequate and affected by the departure within three months of chief executive Brendan Parker and finance manager Rochelle Parker."
