The reigning premiers were determined for redemption, playing four strong quarters of football and leaving the Sharks scoreless in the third.

From the first bounce it was the second placed Read More [+]

The East Fremantle Sharks face a stern test this Sunday at ATOM Stadium, where the Subiaco Lions will look to avenge a heavy defeat from earlier in the season.

Since Subiaco’s Round 8 loss to East Fremantle, the Lions have seen their perfect 6-0 start turn into an 8-3 record by the mid-season bye. The Lions still sit in second place behind South Fremantle on percentage, but their mini-slump has in part led to an incredibly open competition with the entire top-5 within four points of each other.

Depending on results elsewhere, the Sharks could find themselves on top of the ladder with a repeat result -- or as low as fifth with a loss.
