Falcons Swoop Vulnerable Lions
SUBIACO have slumped to five straight losses after falling to archrival West Perth by 22-points at Arena Joondalup.
West Perth led all afternoon and controlled the majority of the running but failed to put the Lions to bed in the first half.
An early third quarter charge from Subiaco brought them within a goal but two 50m penalties gifted West Perth responses and halted the run.
