If there was an award for the most enigmatic WAFL team, it would surely go to West Perth, who have created all sorts of interesting stats over the years. 1981 was a good example, where West Perth thrashed East Fremantle by 178 points in one game, only to lose another game to the Sharks' cousins South Fremantle, the Bulldogs destroying the Falcons by a massive 180 points. In 1993, West Perth headed the ladder and made the Grand Final (they were no match for Claremont) after 3 successive wooden spoons in 1990-1992. They held an almost supernatural jinx over Subiaco from 1993-2005, and in 2010 thrashed the eventual premiers Swans in one game, but lost to the abysmal Peel Thunder in another.
Yesterday, West Perth performed another strange feat, when they thrashed Peel Thunder by 100 points, this coming a week after the Falcons were humbled by Claremont by 120 points.
Does anyone know the last time a WAFL side has gone from a century loss to a century win or vice versca in successive games, if indeed this has happened at all?
