Australian rules football season December 2017 December 2017 wafl 1925 6 EF 12 Sub 3 49 Ted Flemming (WP) George Owens (EP) 1924 1926 The 1925 WAFL season was the 41st season of the West Australian Football League. It was notable as the season where a fully-fledged system of district football was firmly in place after two seasons of planning, with Perth divided into eight zones, one of which was allocated to Claremont in preparation for their entry to senior WAFL ranks for 1926 and another covered the Midland area later to be allocated to Swan Districts.Casey Kevin The Tigers’ tale: the origins and history of the Claremont Football Club 12-15 0-646-26498-2 Along with this, the WAFL introduced a reserves competition for players not good enough for their club's league team. The season saw East Fremantle gain revenge for the previous season's Grand Final loss against a Subiaco team often thought to be the most talented that club had fielded so far in its historySpillman Ken Diehards: The Story of the Subiaco Football Club 1896-1945 100-101 0-646-35834-0 with three exceptional finals performances. A notable incident during the season was a postponement of the Round 12 match between East Perth and West Perth because the Cardinals failed to return on time from a tour of Tasmania, due to being entertained by Senator Pearce in Melbourne the day the "Kalgoorlie Express" was due to leave from Melbourne.West Perth Team Entertained in Melbourne Kalgoorlie Miner 6 August 1925 6 Home-and-away season Round 1 Round 1 Saturday, 2 May (3:00 pm) Per 10.20 (80) H EP 10.10 (70) WACA Perth Defeat East Perth: An Interesting Game The West Australian 4 May 1925 10 Saturday, 2 May (3:00 pm) Sub 12.13 (85) H WP 7.9 (51) Subiaco Oval Subiaco Vanquish West Perth The West Australian 4 May 1925 10 Saturday, 2 May (3:00 pm) SF 7.7 (49) A EF 14.9 (93) Fremantle Oval East Fremantle Win The West Australian 4 May 1925 10 The new rule (as in the VFL) of awarding a free kick against a player who puts the ball out of bounds is regarded as a great success: it was estimated that in one game there were only seventeen stoppages.Football: Opening of the Season The West Australian 4 May 1925 10 Round 2 Round 2 Saturday, 9 May (3:00 pm) Per 21.7 (133) H SF 11.8 (74) WACA Perth Win Easily The West Australian 11 May 1925 10 Saturday, 9 May (3:00 pm) EP 9.10 (64) H WP 8.6 (54) Perth Oval East Perth’s Narrow Win: An Exciting Finish The West Australian 11 May 1925 10 Saturday, 9 May (3:00 pm) Sub 11.7 (73) H EF 9.6 (60) Subiaco Oval Subiaco v East Fremantle – Poor, Yet Exciting Football The West Australian 11 May 1925 10 Perth’s score was the first of twenty goals in the WAFL since 12 July 1919, when East Fremantle kicked 21.15 (141) against West Perth.((Coach)) Football: The Australian Game Western Mail 14 May 1925 24 Round 3 Round 3 Saturday, 16 May (3:00 pm) WP 7.13 (55) A EF 12.5 (77) Leederville Oval East Fremantle Defeat West Perth The West Australian 18 May 1925 11 Saturday, 16 May (3:00 pm) Per 4.14 (38) A Sub 8.15 (63) WACA Subiaco v Perth – Maroons Win Comfortably The West Australian 18 May 1925 11 Saturday, 16 May (3:00 pm) SF 7.12 (54) A EP 13.9 (87) Fremantle Oval East Perth Win The West Australian 18 May 1925 11 Round 4 Round 4 Saturday, 23 May (3:00 pm) EP 10.12 (72) A Sub 16.10 (106) Perth Oval Subiaco Still Unbeaten The West Australian 25 May 1925 11 Saturday, 23 May (3:00 pm) EF 11.15 (81) H Per 8.12 (60) Fremantle Oval East Fremantle Beat Perth The West Australian 25 May 1925 11 Saturday, 23 May (3:00 pm) WP 14.19 (103) H SF 7.8 (50) Leederville Oval West Perth Win The West Australian 25 May 1925 11 Subiaco, with Ahearn kicking eight goals in the absence of top goal-sneak Rodriguez, move to a clear top.
