Round 10 WAFL Preview

CHALLENGES present opportunity in Round 10 of the 2022 WAFL season and while the bottom three teams are taking on top three sides, what that gives is the chance to spring an upset while those sitting between fourth and seventh all do battle as well.

Just based on the ladder positions of the five matches in Round 10 on Saturday, it shapes as a fascinating string of matches with first up taking on ninth, second playing eighth, third battling last, fourth locking horns with fifth, and the sixth placed team taking on the team sitting seventh.

It is also the first round of the season where teams will be playing one another for a second time in 2022.

Four of the five matches on Saturday all take place at 2.10pm including East Fremantle playing host to Peel Thunder at the WACA Ground with both teams attempting to consolidate their hold on a spot in the top five.

Swan Districts and Subiaco then lock horns at Bassendean's Steel Blue Oval with both the Swans and Lions attempting to break into the top five.

East Perth will be hosting Claremont at Leederville Oval with the Royals attempting to snap a three-match losing streak while the Tigers are only percentage off top spot and have the potential of even sneaking to first place by the end of Round 10.

The last game bouncing down at 2.10pm begins a double-header at Lathlain's Mineral Resources Park with Perth at home to West Perth. The Demons will be trying to end a five-game losing streak with the Falcons out to retain top spot on the WAFL ladder.

The final match up of the day bounces down at 5pm in the second half of the Lathlain double-header with the West Coast Eagles playing South Fremantle. The Eagles are still hunting for their first win of 2022 while South Fremantle has won three straight having played in the past three Grand Finals.
