1924 WAFL season

40th season of the West Australian Football League December 2017 December 2017 wafl 1924 6 Sub 4 EF 14 49 Bonny Campbell (EP) Jim Gosnell (WP) 1923 1925 The 1924 WAFL season was the 40th season of the West Australian Football League. Although East Perth and East Fremantle completely dominated the season until after the Carnival, each having lost only one match of the first eleven, neither was to win the premiership and the Royals’ record sequence of five consecutive premierships came to an end in the semi-final. Subiaco, who along with Perth had been in the doldrums during the preceding seasons, finally developed the teamwork to match the individual talents of players like Outridge, skipper "Snowy" Hamilton and young rover Johnny Leonard – consequently carrying all before them during the finals after a mediocre home-and-away season.Spillman Ken Diehards: The Story of the Subiaco Football Club 1896-1945 95-98 Despite maintaining prominence for another decade, the Maroons would then become a perennial cellar-dweller for three decades and failed to win another premiership until 1973 – the longest premiership drought in WA(N)FL history. Despite Gosnell being the second of their famous half-back line to win the Sandover Medal, West Perth fell to wooden spooners owing to the suspension of key forward Fred Wimbridge for most of the season.Atkinson Brian It’s a Grand Old Flag: a History and Comprehensive Statistical Analysis of the West Perth Football Club 1885-2007 57 9781921361395 Following controversy over his clearance from South Fremantle that caused him to sit out the 1923 season,Devaney John Full Points Footy’s WA Football Companion' 201 9780955689710 East Perth's "Bonny" Campbell was to break Allan Evans’ record from 1921 for the most goals scored during a WAFL season with 67.Devaney Full Points Footy’s WA Football Companion 201 Including the Hobart Carnival, where he kicked 51 goals – including an amazing 23 against Queensland – Campbell kicked 118 goals for the entire year, with his 100-goal season coming five years before Gordon Coventry and six years before Ken Farmer.
