WAFLW Recap: Race for Top Spot ContinuesTuesday, July 29, 2025 - 9:38 AM

Subiaco 10.5 (65) v East Perth 0.1 (1)

The Royals issues this season continued on Friday night with the bottom-placed side having kicked just two goals in the last five rounds.

The Lions took advantage of their poor form on the way to a 10-goal victory off the back of big performances from Krstel Petrevski, Lisa Steane and Paige Sheppard through the midfield, while Beatrice Devlyn was also superb.

State 18’s youngsters Olivia Crane, Olivia Wolmarans and Layla Quinn-Schofield were outstanding as well, and Aimee Schmidt booted three goals.

Peel Thunder 5.2 (32) v South Fremantle 1.12 (18)

South Fremantle will rue their performance on Saturday, kicking just one goal from 13 scoring shots as the Thunder ran out 14-point winners.

The Bulldogs had kicked nine straight behinds to three-quarter time and now face an uphill battle to make finals.

Chloe Wrigley’s superb season continued for Peel, whilst Ebony Dawson and Giaan Evans won plenty of the ball.

Krystal Carter, Ebony Bilcich and young star Heidi Ireland also impressed, while Tahleah Mulder won 23 possessions for the visitors.

Claremont 5.6 (36) v West Perth 3.8 (26)

Claremont remain deadlocked for top spot on the table with Subiaco after defeating the Falcons on Saturday afternoon.

Sarah Viney, Jayme Harken and Matilda Sergeant led the way while Mackenzie Webb also played well.

Young gun Juliet Kelly was back to her prolific best, while Emma Henderson also performed well.

The Falcons are on the back foot in their finals chase, but a win against South Fremantle next week will be vital.

They were led by Megan Norbury and Madison Dodd, while Cara Dziegielewski, Taylor Ferguson and Jessica Roper also put in strong performances.

Swan Districts 6.5 (41) v Perth 3.6 (24)

Swan Districts handled business to almost certainly earn a finals berth this season, despite leading goalkicker Taylah Edwards not troubling the scorers for just the third time this year.

Under 18’s star Carys D’Addario continues to go from strength to strength and was brilliant, while Kayley King, Jaime Henry and Isabella Edgley all performed well.

Summer Yarran kicked two majors, as did King, while Indiana West was strong.

Isabella Shannon won 23 disposals for the Demons, but outside of that they were beaten in almost every facet of the game.
