1980 WAFL season
The 1980 WAFL season was the ninety-sixth season of the West Australian Football League in its various incarnations.
The season saw the league drop the word ‘national’ from its official name for the first time in fifty years, reverting to the title in use from 1908 to 1930. It also saw reigning premiers East Fremantle embark on the most rapid slide by any reigning premier since went from first to last in 1916. Handicapped by the loss of Mario Turco to North Melbourne and Doug Green to retirement, along with injuries to Jim Sewell, Graham Carter, Swan Districts recruit Mark Olsen and Rod Lester-Smith and form lapses by Tony Buhagiar and Ian Thomson,〔See Hopkins, Colin; ‘Swans Live Up to Their Promise’; ''The West Australian'', 8 April 1980, p. 87〕 the blue and whites also lost classy Essendon recruit Darren “Daisy” Williams who returned to Victoria for personal reasons after two matches.〔Carew-Reid, Andrew; ‘East Fremantle Throw Off the Blues’; ''The West Australian'', 28 April 1980, p. 78〕 Old Easts were to win only five matches all season, and were in danger of their first wooden spoon for eighty-two years before a win in their penultimate game put them safely ahead of Subiaco, who had another disastrous season plagued by financial problems whereby calls to “Save Subi” were opposed by calls from opponents to “Flog Subi”,〔See Spillman, Ken; ''Diehards: the Story of the Subiaco Football Club 1946-2000'', p. 199; ISBN 0-9578185-0-5〕 leading to the worst record by any WA(N)FL club for twelve seasons.
In contrast, had the best start to a WAFL season for twenty-one years, winning their first thirteen matches and gaining a $2000 bonus from Marlboro for winning their first twelve – with a further $200 if they could achieve a perfect home-and-away season.〔See Christian, Geoff; ‘Claremont Lose Their Wingmen’, ''The West Australian'', 23 June 1980; pp. 65, 68〕 Swans were overpowered at the “business end” by the Mal Brown-coached , who were unbeaten apart from a five-game slump between the fifth and ninth rounds. The Bulldogs’ play late in the season is regarded as some of the finest ever seen in the WAFL, a claim substantiated by their thrashing top VFL club Carlton by 91 points in the VFL’s “Escort Cup” during March〔Bird, Frank; ‘Percy’s Carlton Crushed’; ''The Age'', 17 March 1980, p. 38〕 – easily the biggest win by a non-VFL club therein and in fact the biggest loss by a VFL club until the Night Series/pre-season series was restricted thereto.〔Rodgers, Stephen (compiler); ''The Complete Book of VFL Records''; pp. 223-227.
