1967 WANFL season
The 1967 WANFL season was the eighty-third season of the various incarnations of the Western Australian National Football League. Its most salient feature was the decline of East Fremantle, the league’s most successful club, to its worst season since its inaugural 1898 season. Old Easts – having during the first two-thirds of the century never won fewer than ten matches in a season – won only seven and finished second-last after looking set for a still-worse record during the first fifteen rounds. Their appointed captain-coach Bert Thornley resigned after twelve matches due to the club’s bad form and his desire to play for in 1968.〔Christian, Geoff; ‘Rogers to Coach – Thornley Quits Position’; ''The West Australian'', 30 June 1967, p. 27〕 The blue and whites suffered severely from a bad run of injuries and form lapses amongst senior players like Sorrell, Spriggs, Rogers and Casserly,〔Casellas, Ken; ‘Sorrell Fit to Resume for East Fremantle’; ''The West Australian'', 2 May 1967, p. 34〕 plus a serious weakness in attack due to the loss of Bob Johnson. Despite regaining Austin Robertson and acquiring Johnson, Subiaco continued their disastrous form of late 1966 for their worst season since 1953, as the loss of Slater and injuries to Brian Sarre〔Christian, Geoff; ‘Sarre Breaks Thumb; State Trip in Doubt’; ''The West Australian'', 22 May 1967, p. 18〕 left them decrepit in the ruck and defence.
Future Hall of Fame coach John Todd had his first major success, lifting 1965 and 1966 wooden spooners South Fremantle to their third finals berth and first victory since 1956. Early in the season the red and whites were the nearest rivals to East Perth, who won fifteen of their first sixteen matches before fading. Perth had been a 2/1 flag favourite before the season started〔Christian, Geoff; ‘Three Look Good but East Fremantle Outclassed’; ''The West Australian'', 10 April 1967, p. 34〕 but lost six of their first eleven matches before coming back to always have the edge on East Perth during August and September. Claremont, after a frustrating 1966, recovered from a disastrous start before being denied a finals berth in the last few minutes.
A lowlight was a career-ending knee injury to champion West Perth centre half-back Brian France on 8 July against East Fremantle. At the time France had polled eighteen votes in the Sandover Medal and was still within one vote of tying despite playing only thirteen full games.〔(Brian France )〕
