Peel Thunder are back-to-back grand finalists after beating the Subiaco Lions by 24-points at Leederville Oval to earn a spot in the 2017 WAFL Grand Final. The Thunder held the lead at each major break finishing with a final score of 14.8 (92) to Subiaco’s 10.8 (68).
Peel player Brayden Lawler said securing a win and a spot in the grand final is good, but is only half the job. “It’s awesome, Peel are a good chance to go back to back this year,” he said
“It’s a great feeling, but we know that getting there is only half the job and we still have to rock up to the game and give a good effort on the day and come home with a win.”
Subiaco were first to score with a behind one minute into the game, but were goalless until 25 minutes into the first term, whilst Peel scored five majors.
Lawler expressed the importance of having a strong start to the game as Subiaco broke away early last time they played each other.
