IN the Second Semi-Final of the WAFL Colts competition, Subiaco defeated Swan Districts by 46 points at Leederville Oval.

The result sees Subiaco advance to the Grand Final, while the Swans will take on Peel in a do-or-die preliminary final at Fremantle Oval next week.

Below were the best players.

Subiaco:

#3 Tristan Hobley

The 2016 WA Under 16s State Academy member produced another outstanding performance. He gathered 24 possessions, took eight marks and recorded four inside 50s to be one of the most influential midfielders on the ground. His ability to be the “link-up” player was outstanding, and his elite decision-making and sharp skill set make him a tantalising prospect.

#9 Nathan French

The Kingsway product showcased why he is a big-game player with a scintillating performance against the Swans. He finished with a game-high 25 possessions (11 contested), five inside 50s, three tackles, three marks, two clearances and three goals.

#13 Liam Hickmott

The reigning best and fairest winner was his tough and combative self in the middle, often burying himself into congestion to win the ball for his team. He gathered 21 possessions (11 contested), laid a game-high 12 tackles, and won an equal game-high five clearances in a brutal performance.

#15 Wil Hickmott

The classy wingman displayed all of his magnificent traits against the Black and White. He was polished with his disposal, smart with his decision-making and damaging with his running ability. He finished with 16 possessions, six marks and three inside 50s.

#17 Kyle Stainsbury

The Newton Screaigh Medallist was brilliant yet again for the Lions with another superb game. He collected 15 possessions (10 contested), took six marks and recorded three inside 50s. His ability to shift between half-back and midfield makes him one of the most damaging players in the competition.

#20 Josh Leunig

The Carine junior was sublime in defence for the Lions. He only gathered six possessions, but he took four marks and recorded five spoils to be one of the best defenders on the ground. His role in quelling Swan Districts star Patrick Farrant was crucial to his side’s victory.

#22 Luke Foley

The Sorrento-Duncraig junior produced a performance that highlighted why he is being mentioned as a possible first-round draft selection. In his first game back from a quad injury, Foley accumulated 22 possessions (11 contested), won five clearances, laid five tackles, took five marks, recorded three inside 50s and kicked two goals; an impressive outing by anyone’s standards.

#45 Ben Golding

The 17-year-old was simply phenomenal for the Lions with a breath-taking performance. He finished with 17 possessions (nine contested), six tackles, six inside 50s, three clearances and two goals. The way he is able to break the lines with his pace and skill makes him one of the most damaging half-forward flankers in the competition.

Swan Districts:

#1 Joseph Hinder

The Bassendean junior was electrifying for the Swans, often using his lightning speed to break through Subiaco’s defensive zone. He finished the game with 11 possessions, two marks and a goal as he tried to will his team to victory.

#3 Mitchell Bain

Fresh off a best afield performance last week, Bain continued to demonstrate why he is a big-time player with another outstanding game. Arguably the best player for the Swans, Bain gathered 24 possessions (17 contested), laid six tackles, won four clearances, took four marks and recorded three inside 50s.

#6 Blake Pescud

The big-bodied midfielder was awesome in the stoppages for the Black Ducks. He gathered 18 possessions (10 contested), won five clearances and laid three tackles to be a force in the middle for the Swans.

#9 Riley Garcia

The 2017 WA Under 16s State Academy member was lively in the midfield for Swan Districts with 16 possessions (seven contested), three clearances, two tackles and two marks. His speed through the midfield worried Subiaco on occasions.

#12 Graydon Wilson

The Centrals Football Club product enhanced his draft stocks with a marvellous performance on the half-back line. He finished with 18 possessions, six marks, two tackles and two inside 50s to be one of the Swans’ best.

#15 Jarrod Cameron

Admittedly it wasn’t Cameron’s best game, but there were glimpses that indicated he is ready for the big stage. He gathered 12 possessions (five contested), recorded five inside 50s, took four marks and won three clearances as he tried to spark some life into the Swans line-up.

#18 Jake Pasini

He may not be the most flamboyant defender, but Pasini is rated as one of the best key defensive prospects for the 2019 AFL Draft. Against Subiaco, Pasini intercepted a lot of attacking forays and rebounded with aplomb. He finished with just nine possessions, but he recorded seven spoils and five marks to be amongst the top Swan’s players for the match.

#39 Kade Wallrodt

The South Bunbury product was dynamic in the forward half for the Swannies. He gathered 15 possessions, took nine marks, recorded seven inside 50s and kicked four goals to be the most dangerous forward for Swans.
