In Michael Walters' first official WAFL appearance in over 10 years, Peel Thunder defeated Swan Districts by 31 points in a low-scoring game at Lane Group Stadium.
The veteran needed some playing time after suffering a thigh injury while coming on as a substitute. His impact was limited but he came through unscathed and the Thunder defended their top spot on the leaderboard with a 7.12 (54) to 3.5 (23) victory.
