Australian rules football season December 2017 December 2017 wafl 1930 7 EF 15 EF 17 66 Frank Hopkins (WP) Ted Flemming (WP) 1929 1931 (WANFL) The 1930 WAFL season was the 46th season of the West Australian Football League in its various incarnations, and the last before it changed its name to the ‘Western Australian National Football League’. The season saw EF win the premiership for the third consecutive season, marking the second time that the club had achieved the feat; the club was never seriously challenged as the best team except during the interstate break and achieved the unusual feat of being the only club with a percentage of over 100.The unbeaten Port Adelaide team of 1914 is the only other club to equal this. Jerry Dolan said in retrospect that East Fremantle's 1930 team was the greatest he had ever played in or coached – including even the unbeaten team of 1946.Lee Jack Celebrating 100 Years of Tradition: East Fremantle Football Club 1898-1997 154–159 0646358812 As with the VFL, the 1930 WAFL season saw a major innovation with the introduction of a ‘nineteenth man’ who could replace players either injured or out of form.Casey Kevin The Tigers’ tale: the origins and history of the Claremont Football Club 24 0-646-26498-2 This was changed to a nineteenth and twentieth man in 1946 and to the current interchange system in 1978.
