We had a bit of extra time so we commissioned an oil painting of an iPhone photo by John Menzies of a Tom Lee mark at Leederville Oval.
In the early Good Friday game at Leederville the Lions led all day but needed to dig deep to shake off West Coast. Rhys Waters kicked three goals for Subiaco. Continue reading

A look at the Bendigo footy league, opening round…
Strathfieldsaye Storm erased a tiny bit of last September’s grand final sadness by downing great rivals and reigning champions Eaglehawk on Saturday.
