The 1993 WAFL season was the 109th of the various incarnations of the West Australian Football League. It saw an extraordinarily even competition amongst all the teams except Perth, with only three and a half games separating first and seventh and the smallest dispersion of winning percentages in the WAFL since 1921. West Perth’s 13 wins and a percentage marginally under 100 is the fewest wins and lowest percentage to take top position in a major Australian Rules league: indeed no team had headed the ladder with a percentage nearly so low at any stage of a season except Hawthorn during May of 1969[1] and Perth during June and July 1963.

After early pacesetters Swan Districts and the inconsistent if at times brilliant South Fremantle collapsed in the second half of the season, the bottom two clubs of 1992 in West Perth (already decided on a move to Joondalup[2]) and Claremont emerged as the favourites for the premiership as the home-and-away season and played off in the Grand Final, where the Falcons’ lack of key forwards ensured their defeat. On an individual level, the season was highlighted by Subiaco’s Diamond Valley recruit Jason Heatley, discarded by Fitzroy, kicking 111 goals in his first WAFL season and playing for the league after only five matches.[3]

This season saw the WAFL adopt 20-minute quarters with extended time-on, a change to be introduced into the AFL for the following season.[4]

Home-and-away Season

  • Heatley, recruited from Diamond Valley, kicks seven goals on his Subiaco debut.
  • The draw at the WACA ended what was then (surpassed by East Fremantle during 2014) the longest sequence of matches by a WAFL club without a draw, being East Perth’s first draw since Round 16 of 1969 or a gap of 518 matches.[6]
  • It was the first WAFL (or AFL) draw at the WACA since Round 5, 1923 when Perth drew with East Fremantle.[7]

  • With Heatley kicking nine goals and making the WAFL team after his fifth match, Subiaco move off the bottom after a horror first five rounds.[13]
  • Veteran Phil Narkle shows he has, despite being moved into defence, not lost his magic touch from the 1980s when after an accidental kick in the groin during the morning before the match, he drives Swans back from 34 points down to maintain their unbeaten record.[14]

Round 8

Saturday, 22 May (2:15 pm) East Fremantle 24.12 (156) def. Perth 12.7 (79) East Fremantle Oval (crowd: 3200)
  • A depleted Falcon side without Mildenhall, Turley, Zempilas, Peter Freeman, Paul Symmons and Dean Brunton is led by injury plagued centreman Darren O‘Brien to an upset over the previously unconquered Swans. O‘Brien kicked the winning goal after Swans stormed to the lead with seven final-quarter majors, but was also dubiously reported.[17]
  • A brilliant ten-goal-to-one final quarter, with former Richmond rover Trent Nichols dominant, lifts East Fremantle to third at a critical time – they were behind for most of the first half and a loss would have seen them two games shy of the double chance.[18]

  • Jason Heatley kicked twelve goals, a record for a Subiaco player against the Royals,[20] and the first time a player had kicked twelve goals without a behind.[3] It was also the first double-figure goal tally since John Hutton kicked thirteen for Claremont against South Fremantle in Round 19, 1991.
  • An explosive opening with four goals in as many minutes has Swans keeping an edge over their nearest rivals all game – despite the Bulldogs having ten more scoring shots, they never looked like winning.[21]

  • Swan Districts reconsolidate top position with the first of two come-from-behind victories[29] and South Fremantle’s loss.
  • Eventual Simpson Medallist Dale Kickett shows against the potent Subiaco attack the form that was to make him a mainstay of Fremantle’s defence, in the process making him feel he had been out of place in attack.[30]

  • A brilliant 40-possession display by 28-year-old defender Paul Mifka and several easy East Fremantle misses wins a low-scoring game for the Falcons, taking them to clear second.[31]
  • A gamble by Perth coach Ken Armstrong to play out-of-form forward Mick Hastie at centre half-back, along with seven goals from Shane Cable, allows an accurate Perth to win for the first time since Round 7.[32]

  • On a severely-criticised Subiaco surface, the Lions maintain their slim finals hopes as South Fremantle lose five on end, with four of their eight goals in a six-minute third quarter burst.[34]

Chris Gerreyn, moved to the ruck when Clinton Wolf strains a hamstring, makes the most of his opportunity to have more freedom to move as Claremont’s engine room allows Swans’ weakened defence to be severely exploited.

Saturday, 14 August (2:15 pm) Subiaco 26.12 (168) def. East Fremantle 9.16 (70) Subiaco Oval (crowd: 2640)

Andrew Donnelly’s work as ruck-rover and later ruckman, along with eight goals from relegated Eagle Metropolis,[40] virtually seals the five with a then-record Subiaco winning margin over the Sharks, beating 78 points from 1980.[41]

  • West Perth’s farewell game to Leederville Oval[a] provides a major dividend from the largest WAFL home-and-away attendance since Round 5, 1987.[42]
  • Despite having lost eight matches, West Perth obtain the minor premiership via Swan Districts’ thrashing, which led Shark coach Ken Judge to take a “shot” at his critics[43] and John Todd to criticise his team’s lack of endeavour.

Elimination Final
Saturday, 28 August (2:15 pm) South Fremantle 11.17 (83) def. by Subiaco 16.13 (109) Subiaco Oval (crowd: 6,333)

An unexpected move of forward Andrew Macnish to roving shuts down a South Fremantle comeback when the Bulldogs take the lead for the first time in the match.[44]

Qualifying Final

Qualifying Final
Sunday, 29 August (2:15 pm) Swan Districts 9.7 (61) def. by Claremont 12.12 (84) WACA (crowd: 3,500)
  • It was the first WA(N)FL final at the WACA since the 1926 Grand Final, and the first not at Subiaco since the 1935 decider.
  • Swan Districts’ lack of rovers is severely exposed in wet conditions despite improved commitment vis-à-vis recent weeks.[45]

Semi-Finals

First Semi Final
Sunday, 5 September (11:45 am) Swan Districts 18.8 (116) def. by Subiaco 20.15 (135) Subiaco Oval (crowd: 13,187)

Subiaco, with Heatley kicking his hundredth goal, kick 16.4 (100) after an inaccurate first half, but need six of the last seven goals to give Swans their sixth consecutive finals defeat.[46]

Second Semi Final
Sunday, 5 September (2:15 pm) West Perth 14.7 (91) def. by Claremont 15.12 (102) Subiaco Oval (crowd: 13,187)
  • Since the two semi-finals were played at the same venue on the same day, the attendance figure is the same.
  • Claremont kick four goals in seven minutes early in the last quarter to overcome their West Perth bogey from the home-and-away season against a team lacking 1992 Sandover winner Robbie West.[47]

Preliminary Final

Preliminary Final
Saturday, 11 September (2:15 pm) West Perth 21.8 (134) def. Subiaco 15.12 (102) Subiaco Oval (crowd: 11,325)

A best-on-ground performance by Robbie West (21 kicks, nine handballs, five goals) plus repeated time-on lapses by Subiaco, places West Perth despite Heatley’s nine goals in its first Grand Final since 1975.

Claremont’s halfback and centrelines were too hard to penetrate for the Falcons, and Jeff Gieschen’s inability to find key forwards ensures a win rated by Neesham as the most satisfying of his four as Tiger coach.[49]

Notes

a Owing to redevelopment of Perth Oval for soccer club Perth Glory, East Perth moved to Leederville after the 1999 season.
