SOUTH Fremantle has the chance to make it six straight victories and earn a spot in the 2018 WAFL Grand Final up against Subiaco in Sunday's second semi-final at Leederville Oval.

Subiaco and South Fremantle do battle on Sunday afternoon at Leederville Oval in the second semi-final with the winner to advance to the 2018 Grand Final at Optus Stadium in two weeks' time.

There will be a second chance for the loser who will go on to host the preliminary final next Sunday too against the winner of Sunday's first semi-final between West Perth and Claremont, but neither the Lions or Bulldogs will be thinking about that heading into the second semi-final.

EVERYONE is very excited looking ahead to Sunday and this is the game we want to win so we go straight into the Grand Final. To have a crack at Subiaco when both teams are at full strength should mean it's going to be a great game.

We come into the game in pretty good form having won our last five games and we have been focusing on playing our style of footy and we believe that can hold up against anyone. But when you play Subi, you just can't make mistakes and you can't turn the ball over because you know they'll hurt you and make you pay going back the other way. 

We have been able to play our style of football in patches against Subiaco this year but not for four quarters which is a difficult thing to do because of how good their pressure is. As soon as you make a mistake, that's it and the ball is down the other end. It's not so much that we've been preparing for Subi even though this week we train specifically to play them and do drills that we believe replicates their game style, but it's more about us and having the confidence to pull the trigger when we have to. In the past we might not have done that as much against Subi so everyone is geed up to do what we say we're going to do.

NICK Suban continues to get better and better the longer 2018 goes on in his first season at South Fremantle, and having beaten Subiaco in each of the past two WAFL Grand Finals with Peel Thunder, he could be an invaluable resource for the Bulldogs this week.

South Fremantle takes on Subiaco in this Sunday's WAFL second semi-final at Leederville Oval and while the Lions haven't lost at all in 2018, Suban was part of the Peel teams the past two Grand Finals that defeated the Lions.

He will look to help provide South Fremantle with some invaluable insight into what it takes to topple Subiaco in finals football as the Bulldogs chase a first Grand Final appearance and first premiership in the WAFL since 2009.

WHAT South Fremantle coach Todd Curley had to say following the WAFL qualifying final victory over West Perth by 98 points that sets up a second semi-final contest this Sunday against Subiaco at Leederville Oval.

QUESTION: Up until midway through the second quarter it was a pretty tight game, how were you able to get on top and dominate the way you did?
ANSWER: Not sure really. Our effort probably was more consistent, I'm not sure, but I thought we worked really hard early and just didn’t use the ball as well as we had the last few weeks in the first half. But we continued to hang in there and used the ball, and ran pretty hard after that.
