WAFLW Round 11 Preview v Peel Thunder
Swan Districts' undefeated WAFLW season goes on the line on Sunday at Steel Blue Oval up against the reigning premiers Peel Thunder.
Swans answered the challenge of a Claremont team that was in second position on the ladder last Sunday to come away with the impressive 19-point victory away from home.
And now this Sunday, Swans returns to Steel Blue Oval but the challenges do keep coming and this one is in the form of a Peel Thunder team who now sits in second spot on the table while coming off winning the WAFLW premiership in 2020.
Swan Districts has emerged as the team to beat in the 2021 Optus WAFLW Premiership Season and puts their undefeated record on the line on Sunday at home to Peel Thunder.
Swans started the new season back in February with a narrow Round 1 win at home over Claremont before a thumping win away from home against South Fremantle.
Swan Districts followed that up with a 28-point win in Mandurah against Peel before also beating East Fremantle away from home by the same margin in Round 4.
The black-and-whites kept the winning form going beating Subiaco at home in Round 5 before a 33-point victory also at Bassendean over Claremont.
That led into a 37-point victory away to East Fremantle following by a tight win against Subiaco and then last Sunday 19-point triumph over Claremont at Revo Fitness Stadium.
While Swans have been so impressive in compiling that perfect 9-0 record to sit two games and a significant percentage on top of the WAFLW ladder, Sunday's game against the Thunder does loom as a significant test.
Peel won last year's WAFLW premiership coming from finishing last in the inaugural 2019 season, and now the Thunder look to be another strong outfit in 2021.
They beat East Fremantle last week to improve to a 7-2 record on the season and to move a game and percentage clear in second position. So a win for Peel on Saturday and they will go a long way to securing a top two finish in 2021 while also moving to within just one game of Swans in top spot.
However, a victory for Swan Districts at home on Sunday and they will be three games clear of Peel on top of the ladder.
Add in the percentage edge that Swans hold over the rest of the competition and a win against the Thunder would go a long way to locking in the minor premiership with just four games to go after Sunday.
From the Swan Districts team that beat Claremont last Sunday, Stephanie Cain, Sarah Lakay and Aimee Ralph come into the line-up.
Naomi Baker, Abbygail Bushby and Stephanie Graskoski are the three players to go out for Swans.
And for Peel coming off their win against East Fremantle, Bella Mann, Greta McKinley and Makinley Minchin have all been added to the squad.
Meanwhile, Swan Districts will take on East Fremantle at Steel Blue Oval on Sunday from 12pm in the WAFLW Reserves. Swans are also on top of the table in the Reserves competition with a 6-2 record.
And the Youth Girls will take on East Fremantle from 10.15am on Sunday morning in the Rogers Cup contest with Swan Districts currently sitting in sixth position with a 3-6 record.
