This is the one which does my head in a bit.

47.83 winning percentage in a decade where Claremont won three premierships, and was runner-up twice more.

Their first half of the decade (i.e the years when George Moloney was playing for Geelong) ruins it for the second half.

Is there any other teams Where this has also occurred?Mutliple Grand Finals/Premierships With below average when percentage in the decade.

Im also intriged by the Union/Fremantle football team.Although they only feature on one table from what i have read(little snippets) their record must have been extraordinary.

Swans also won 3 flags and runners up once in the 60's and W/L % of 45%.

I have stats from 1885 - 1897 in a book, I'll look at those tonight
 
1885 - 1897

Team P W L D W/L %
Centrals 12 2 9 1 16.67
East Perth 24 1 21 2 4.17
Fremantle 112 74 24 14 66.07
Metropolitans 10 1 6 3 10.00
Rovers 132 46 69 17 34.85
Unions 37 23 11 3 62.16
Victorians 32 13 12 7 40.63
WAFC 17 3 13 1 17.65
West Perth/Imperials 125 60 50 15 48.00

The large number of draws were due to the fact although behinds were scored and recorded, they made difference to the result. SO a score of 1.4 would draw with a team scoring 1.8. Also a team scoring 2.1 would be a team that scored 1.10! There was a game between Victorians (0.15) drew with Fremantle (0.4) which was described as a game with no score!

West Perth commenced as Imperials in 1885 and took on the name West Perth in 1891.

It's actually been on my to-do list for a while, and the good news is that I've already started it. The worse news is that I haven't finished it.

Will hopefully get to it tonight, but my computer is in the room right next to where my son is finally getting some sleep... so I'll try and be nice and quiet!

All on the Home PC.

Had a laptop, but sold it. Hate using them for this purpose anyway... too hard for entering figures and data into spreadsheets. Much prefer the number pad, although there are more and more laptops these days with number pads built in.
 
OK - here goes.

I was at that 1992 match between East Perth and East Fremantle and the whole last quarter was just surreal. It's a hard thing to sit and watch a team that was so bad for three quarters just do as they please in the last quarter to win the match. Even worse when they're doing it to your team.
 
Up For Grabs,
do you have an opinion about the Australian Football Hall of Fame? Do you believe there are many great WAFL players who are not yet inducted and that it is far too Victorian heavy?

Click to expand...

Definitely an opinion, and although I think it's Vic-centric, I'm not sure it's too Vic-centric. Plain facts are that the majority of great players have come from Victoria.

For sure there's WAFL players who aren't in the hall of fame, and their exclusion boggles the mind.

As I mentioned on the main board the other day... five off the top of my head are Brian Peake, Gary Buckenara and three of the greatest goalkickers of all time - Austin Robertson Jr, Ted Tyson and Bernie Naylor. It's great that George Doig is in the hall, but I feel that if you've got Doig then you have to have the other three.

Naylor's exclusion baffles me. I can't understand how someone who was such a lynchpin of one of the greatest football teams to ever play the game (South Fremantle from 1946-1954) is excluded from the Hall. There haven't been many full forwards in any league who scored seemingly at will - and when you think that he lost four full seasons at the start of his career to WWII, his records would be even greater. I brought this up the other day when the WA Football Hall of Fame night happened that how can Naylor, who holds a myriad of records in WA footy and has our goalkicking medal named after him, not be a Legend in our Hall of Fame. I would've thought he'd be one of the first picked. Yet he got passed over again, this time in favour of Denis Marshall.

So there's that, but my main problem lies elsewhere.

My main problem is this sense that players had to cross to the VFL and excel in order to be considered truly great. WA football has only two Legends in the Hall of Fame - Farmer and Cable, but you get the feeling that they wouldn't be Legends if they didn't play in Victoria, even though on the merits of their WA careers alone they should a monty for Legend status. When Cable was elevated to Legend status last year, they had him burst onto the stage through a North Melbourne banner while a brass band played the North theme song - such a slap in the face for his unparalleled WA career.

My other problem is the unofficial quota that each year has for inductees. They can induct up to six players. 3 recently retired, one 'older' player, one umpire/admin/media person, and one from either SA or WA. Last year was Graham Cornes, and this year will probably be another WA player (most likely Peake).

I can't understand that at all. No offense to the guy, but how does Mark Bickley get in the Hall of Fame before Bernie Naylor? How does he get in before Gary Buckenara - one of the most brilliant big-game players of the 1980s? Bickley may have captained the Crows to their two flags, and been a very good player, but nothing I remember from his career screams "excellence". Buckenara shone on the big stage. Four goals in each of the Hawks' 1986 and 1989 premiership sides... 7 goals for WA to beat Victoria and win the National Championship in 1983, another 5 goals to do the same in 1986. In his first year of WAFL footy he had a game where he played in the centre and on the forward flank, had 38 possessions, took 17 marks and kicked 9.1 all in a game where Swan Districts kicked 40 goals on his team. One game doesn't make a player great, but Buckenara had it all going from his first season.

So yeah - it's great that the Hall exists, it just has its flaws.
 
Its here...

I have spent endless hours over the last 5 years researching the WAFL including recording all available quarter by quarter scores and goalscorers for all teams going back to 1929.

My aim was to share my reseach with fellow WAFL fans. So here it is.

This is my first ever website, so welcome any feedback which can be provided on the site or on here.

The website is www.waflfootyfacts.net and although there is already lots of information in it, I have left a few placeholders which will be completed over the next couple of weeks.

I will update the website after every round of fixtures outlining some interesting and obscure facts from each game each round from the extensive database I own.

Enjoy....

Congratulations - looks good.
One question: What is the status of matches where the the WAFL was conducted as an under-age competition during WWII? Was that just for the 1942 season?

At this stage I have included them in all the stats - as you can probably tel by the number of large scores and margins during these years in particular against South Fremantle who were very week during these years- On my 'to do list' is to make a note on each record that occurred during this time and put the 'open' record along side it. Underage comp was from 1942-1944 inclusive - Swan Districts did not compete in 1942.

I have just updated the ladders page and I have included a ladder for that period.

Nice to hear from you - your AFL website has been a major inspiration an influence in me decided to do this for the WAFL. Hope you dont mind. Will be happy to add alink to your site on my links page too. Cheers Ric

The underage competition existed from 1942-44.

It's a bit of a grey area, but I've included these matches as a part of my stats. All clubs, with the exception of East Perth, consider the matches to be a part of WAFL play. The East Perth one is interesting, given that it means they wouldn't count their 41.30 (276) score in Round 1, 1944, or the premiership, or Alan Watts' 16 goals in Round 1, or his 101 goals that came from that undefeated season in their official records.

However, given that the Sandover Medal was presented during these seasons, and the games tallies of some of the league's greats (including Jack Sheedy and Ray Schofield) include games from these seasons, I'm counting the matches as official.
