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, which was pre-season an expected result of losing all but nine of the premiership side to the AFL draft or in two cases retirement.[1] The Tigers, whose guernsey reverted from the gold sash to the CFC monogram as they did during their miraculous premiership rise in 1964,[2] fell from first with only two losses to avoiding the wooden spoon only by percentage. 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,[3][4] 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,[5] and the reluctance of West Perth to move to the northwestern suburbs despite incentive payments from the WAFL totalling $390,000[6] (although unlike the Demons they did relocate two seasons later).

  • Half-forward Lloyd Haskett, who had not played since 1989 due to two shoulder reconstructions, demolishes pre-season premiership favourite Swan Districts with six goals for a forward line expected to be weak following the retirement of Glen Bartlett and Ken Seymour.[10]
  • Perth, led by North Melbourne discard Stephen Pears, end the equal second-longest winning streak in open-age WA(N)FL football by inflicting Claremont’s first defeat since Round 6 of 1991.[11] The defeat was Claremont’s heaviest since losing by 62 points in the 1988 Grand Final.[9]
  • Former soccer star Marty Atkins uses his skills from that sport to overpower East Fremantle’s attack in perfect conditions, consistently keeping the Sharks out in a close game.[12]

  • Mal Brown, after seeing his revers win 33.25 (223) to 2.6 (18), rues many selection choices as the previously unbeaten Bulldogs completely lack determination against the unfancied Royals.[13]
  • Steve Lally, one of the smallest players in the WAFL, picks up ten kicks in the third quarter to turn a 29-point deficit into a surprise victory, leaving no team unbeaten after three rounds.[14]

  • Three of the matches this round were played on the Monday, which was a holiday owing to Anzac Day falling on a Saturday.
  • East Perth show the cupboard at Claremont as finally bare with a tough win in a low-scoring game where the Tigers’ young and inexperienced forwards completely fail to convert.[16]
  • East Fremantle coach Judge, seeing Perth as the “form side” of the league, completely shadows the Demons’ dangerous on-ball division and makes it almost impossible to move the ball forward.[17]

  • Injured Eagle Peter Wilson, only on Thursday cleared to play after major shoulder surgery, produces a sizzling display as East Fremantle for the second week running thrash a supposed “boom” team.[19]
  • After Claremont’s fourth consecutive loss it is speculated on the Sunday that coach Neesham will return as a player at the age of 37, but he denies the rumour and does not do so.[20]

  • East Fremantle’s 73-point margin is their biggest ever at Leederville Oval,[21] though 55 points short of their biggest win over the Falcons.
  • Teenage rover Matt Connell, with an amazing 43 possessions, sparks Subiaco after the Lions, going into the game with one win out of five, were thirty points behind at half-time.[22]
  • Five goals in time-on of the third quarter gives Claremont a morale-boosting victory to end a run of four defeats.[23]

Paul Harding, recruited from St. Kilda to improve the Eagles’ ruck strength, performs so well for East Fremantle at centre half-forward that there are suggestions he should play there at AFL level.[25]

  • Former Hawthorn reserves player Damian Condon, along with George christie playing for the first time since 1990, demolishes Swan Districts full-forward Kevin Caton (who scores only one behind) as East Fremantle crush the Swans in the biggest win of the 1992 home-and-away season.[26]
  • 27-year-old Boulder City wingman Brad George, in his first league match after over 100 as a bush nomad, becomes a vital cog as Perth come from 27 points down at half-time to beat the fancied Bulldogs.[27]

  • John Georgiades is best afield as a half-back flanker patching up the depleted Lion defence, leaving the club 1 percent from fifth position.[28]
  • An altercation over the quality of umpiring between veteran umpire Phil O‘Reilly and long-time Tigers’ member Doug Ringhalt dominates discussion of Claremont’s third win for 1992.[29]
