The 1992 WAFL season was the one hundred and eighth season of senior football in Perth, Western Australia. It is most notable for the end of the Claremont dynasty of the previous five seasons: the Tigers fell from first with only two losses to avoiding the wooden spoon only by percentage as a result of severe player losses to the AFL draft. East Fremantle won their first premiership for seven years after a very disappointing 1991, whilst East Perth, who had been stragglers for the preceding half-decade, made a remarkable rush from fifth position (after being outside the five for most of the season) to narrowly miss their first Grand Final since winning the 1978 premiership.

After Ian Dargie’s drought-breaking Sandover win for Subiaco in 1991, West Perth, despite suffering the rare ignominy of finishing last in all three grades,[1][2] ended the second-longest club drought in Sandover history with the Falcons’ first win since Brian Foley in 1959.

Off the field, the WAFL was hit by the unwillingness of financially crippled Perth to accept relocation to Kelmscott as an integral part of its future development plan,[3] and the reluctance of West Perth to move to the northwestern suburbs despite incentive payments from the WAFL totalling $390,000[4] (although unlike the Demons they did relocate two seasons later).
