It saw East Perth, despite the end of the first host club scheme that was thought to have unfairly favoured the Royals,Lewis Ross Lions Mount Royal Reversal The Game 11 The West Australian 8 April 2002 win their third successive premiership for the first hat-trick in the WA(N)FL since Swan Districts between 1982 and 1984. The Swans themselves had a disastrous season as chronic financial troubles, which had plagued the club for almost a decade were combined with disastrous results on the field.See Lewis Ross Todd Era Draws to a Close The Game 3 The West Australian 3 June 2002 The black and whites were within two points of a winless season in the seniors and did little better in the lower grades. Cinderella club Peel Thunder, despite going within two minutes of the first goalless score in senior WAFL football for over eighty-six years and being voted out of the competition by seven of the other eight clubs at a meeting to extend their licence on 6 May,Reid, Russell, ‘Peel Ready for Court Battle’; The West Australian|date=7 May 2002, pp. 53, 56 achieved their best overall record to date and their first tangible honours as diminutive on-baller Allistair Pickett won the Sandover Medal.

The league’s most famous club, East Fremantle, aided by two lower grade premierships from 2001, rebounded from their disastrous senior record that season to make the finals aided by the only ruck division able to rival the Royals,Lewis Ross Big Sharks Prove Handful The Game 11 The West Australian 22 July 2002 but this was to be their last finals appearance for the decade. During the ensuing four seasons the Sharks reached depths not experienced at any point during the twentieth century, winning a mere nineteen of eighty matches. Even apart from Peel’s near-goalless score, 2002 was notable for low scoring, with the high score of 22.13 (145) the lowest in the WAFL since 1927,http://waflfootyfacts.net/Teams/All/seasons.php WAFL Footy Facts All Seasons Summary 19 June 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140513122515/http://waflfootyfacts.net/Teams/All/seasons.php 13 May 2014 dead dmy-all and the average of 80.83 points the lowest since 1954, in an era when Perth received rainfallTim Flannery Flannery Tim The Weather Makers: The History and Future Impact of Climate Change 131 0802142923 much greater than under present-day greenhouse gas concentrations.See https://www.wa.gov.au/media/76464/download?inline Indian Ocean Climate Initiative (1997-2012) Stage 3: Summary for Policymakers 2012 Western Australian Department of Water and Environmental Regulation Home-and-away season Round 1 (Easter weekend) Round 1 Saturday, 30 March (2:15 pm) EF 7.7 (49) A SF 13.16 (94) East Fremantle Oval 2384 Saturday, 30 March (2:15 pm) PT 7.9 (51) A Per 9.15 (69) Rushton Park 1134 Saturday, 30 March (2:15 pm) SD 7.5 (47) A Sub 7.18 (60) Bassendean Oval 2163 Monday, 1 April (2:15 pm) EP 19.8 (122) H WP 6.10 (46) Leederville Oval 3896 Cla Round 2 Round 2 Saturday, 6 April (2:15 pm) WP 6.10 (46) A EF 13.9 (87) Arena Joondalup 1176 Saturday, 6 April (2:15 pm) Sub 13.11 (89) H EP 13.10 (88) Subiaco Oval 1441 Saturday, 6 April (2:15 pm) Cla 14.17 (101) H PT 11.3 (69) Claremont Oval 1276 Per, SF, SD Subiaco’s acquisition of David Sierakowski, David Haynes and Josh Wooden due to the end of the host club scheme helps it come back from five goals down to beat the two-time premiers.
