Build Up
Much curiosity from football fans preceded the contest. South Fremantle had finished on top of the ladder in season 2009, two games clear of Subiaco who had finished in second place. However Subiaco had won the previous three Premierships and this would be there fourth consecutive Grand Final appearance (and there sixth in seven years). Between them the two combatants had won every WAFL Premiership since 2004.
Match Summary
Early on South Fremantle had the bulk of the scoring opportunities, however of all these were not executed in effective manner, despite this the Bulldogs held a firm elevn point lead at the end of the first quarter.
Subiaco opened the second term in much better fashion and at one stage even looked like snatching the lead, South Fremantle steadied though to win the quarter and open a three goal lead by the main break.
Whatever chances the Lions had of getting back into the conteste were quickly dashed in the third quarter as South Fremantle ran rampant and opened up a match winning lead by the last change, with a resounding seven goal to two quarter.
The match was effectively over early in the final term, when the Bulldogs opened up a 53 point margin, save for a strong last ten minutes from Subiaco, South Fremantle had controlled virtually the entire match and deservedly went on to claim the flag.
