1938 WANFL season

Australian rules football season December 2017 December 2017 wanfl 1938 8 Cla 1 EF 23 85 Ted Tyson (WP) Haydn Bunton, Sr. (Sub) 1937 1939 The 1938 WANFL season was the 54th season of the Western Australian National Football League, and saw Claremont, under champion coach Johnny Leonard who had transferred from West Perth,Devaney John Full Points Footy's WA Football Companion 173 9780955689710 win its first premiership after losing two Grand Finals and drawing the first one this season. The blue and golds were to win the following two premierships before a long period near the foot of the ladder after Claremont Oval was gutted by a fire in 1944. 1938 also saw triple Brownlow Medallist Haydn Bunton senior, enticed by the offer of employment, move to Subiaco and win the first of three Sandovers in only four seasons in Perth; however his presence overshadowed the rest of the team and the Maroons were to advance only one place compared to 1937, being handicapped by the loss of champion defender Lou Daily to the Goldfields where he led Mines Rovers to several premierships. West Perth, who under Leonard and Jack Cashman had won three premierships earlier in the decade, had a disastrous time and finished the season with twelve consecutive losses despite the brilliant form of goalsneak Ted Tyson, who set numerous records in the final round and finished as leading goalkicker. Swan Districts, in a last promising season before descending for two decades to the status of perennial easybeats,Devaney Full Points Footy's WA Football Companion 292 achieved a notable feat in becoming the first club to hold George Doig and then Ted Tyson goalless during a match. A number of notable club tours took place during July, with mid-table VFL club St. Kilda touring Albany, Kalgoorlie and Perth, whilst East Fremantle embarked on a lengthy tour of the Eastern StatesFootball Stars Begin Tour The Daily News 9 July 1938 1 and Perth made a shorter tour of rural Western Australia.
