1982 WAFL season
The 1982 WAFL season was the ninety-eighth season of the West Australian Football League and its various incarnations. The season opened on 27 March 1982 and concluded on 18 September 1982 with the 1982 WAFL Grand Final contested between and . Under the coaching of John Todd, Swans won the 1982, 1983 and 1984 premierships before the financial lure of the VFL deprived it one by one of the stars of this period.〔Devaney, John; ''Full Points Footy’s WA Football Companion''; pp. 297-298. ISBN 9780955689710〕 The black and whites’ win was marred a little, however, by their decision to play a virtual reserve grade lineup against Richmond in an Escort Cup quarter-final after the game was postponed twice and the VFL Tigers refused to play the match at Subiaco Oval on a Monday afternoon – Richmond won 33.16 (214) to 4.4 (28) and Swan Districts were suspended from the competition until 1985,〔Wright, Steve; ‘Aylett Launches Attack on Swans’; ''The West Australian'', 23 June 1982, p. 112〕〔Coward, Mike; ‘WA Side Lashed and Thrashed’; ''The Age'', 23 June 1982, p. 28〕 despite the WAFL approving of their decision after Todd argued it was normal practice among VFL clubs to play reserves players in the Escort Cup.〔Christian, Geoff; ‘WAFL Move on Swans’ Escort Side’; ''The West Australian'', 18 June 1982, p. 82〕
Although 1982 did not equal the numerous high-scoring records set the previous season, scoring continued high with an average score of 117.86 points per team per game, and featured the highest losing score in League history and the most scoring shots by a losing team in any major Australian Rules competition.
The WAFL also showed concern from the start of the season about declining attendances – a problem that was to lead to radical changes to the structure of Australian Rules in subsequent years. Employment opportunities created by the mining boom in the Pilbara had caused several WAFL players to play in the De Grey league without a clearance during 1981, and the league announced players who did this would be suspended from the WAFL for two full seasons, though none actually were despite Ian Williams playing a practice match on 3 April for Port Hedland Panthers.〔Young, Doug; ‘Williams Faces Suspension’; ''The West Australian'', 5 April 1982, p. 99〕
Subiaco, depleted by their inability to afford to retain star State of Origin on-baller Gary Buckenara and the absence of league-quality key forwards,〔Spillman, Ken; ''Diehards: the Story of the Subiaco Football Club 1946-2000''; pp. 205-209 ISBN 0-9578185-0-5〕 set an unwanted record of losing their first sixteen matches, beating by one game their own record from 1902 and that of West Perth in 1939 for the worst start to a season in Western Australian League football. The Lions ultimately became the first one-win WAFL team since Swan Districts in 1968 – their only win was like the 1968 Swans against East Fremantle. Under new president Rod Brown and coach Dennis Commetti West Perth, despite considerable injury problems early in the season, were the one major improver, rising to third and kicking a record finals score in their first major round match for four seasons, in the process becoming the most-watched team in the league and stimulating crowds in a tough season financially.〔Christian, Geoff; ‘West Perth Have Reason to Smile’; ''The West Australian'', 13 September 1982, p. 59〕
