LAST TIME THEY MET

It was the penultimate round of the WAFLW home and away season, the top placed Lions looked to continue their unbeaten run as they travelled away to New Choice Homes Park in a home game to take on East Fremantle.

The Lions were always in the contest, but simply could not apply any scoreboard pressure in the first half, going goalless on their way to registering a measly three behinds. Inaccuracy in front of goals from the two teams led to a tight affair, with both sides behind tallies more than doubling their amount of goals.

Both sides registered 2.3 in the second half, but the Sharks led from the first siren and retained their lead throughout the afternoon. Their wastefulness in front of goals always kept Subiaco in with a chance, but the Lions were left to rue their poor first half which ultimately cost them the four points come the final siren.

GOAL KICKERS

Jacqueline Toth and Danika Pisconeri were the lone goal kickers for the Lions.

IN ONE SENTENCE

Both teams will be fired up as they look to bounce back from disappointing losses
