1999 Westar Rules season

It is most notable for the first winless season in open-age Western Australian football since Midland Junction in their final 1917 season lost all twelve of their games, although South Fremantle in the under-19 1944 competition lost all nineteen of their games.http://waflfootyfacts.net/season_records.html WAFL Footy Facts Worst Record 1 September 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131203021655/http://waflfootyfacts.net/season_records.html#2 3 December 2013 dead dmy-all Peel Thunder, who at the completion of the season had won only two of their first sixty Westar Rules matches, achieved the equal second-longest winless season in a major Australian Rules league behind SANFL club Sturt in 1995.Central District in 1964 and several VFA/VFL clubs share the Thunder's ignominy of a 20-game winless season: Sandringham in 1941, Box Hill in 1951, and the Bendigo Diggers in 2001 and 2002. Although beforehand most critics thought the Thunder would improve on what they did in their first two seasons,See Reid Russell Godden Faces End of Season after Injury The Game 11 The West Australian 12 April 1999 late in the season none of the major Westar Rules writers gave them a chance to win even against second-last East Perth at Rushton Park. In the process Peel became the first team for fifty-four seasons to fail to score in the first half and suffered the second-worst loss in open-age WA(N)FL football. Amazingly, the Thunder's only near miss was against minor premier South Fremantle in the last round, when they led all day only to lose by seven points.The only other winless VFL, SANFL or WAFL clubs whose narrowest loss was to the minor premier have been St. Kilda in 1902, whose closest shave was against premiers , also by seven points, and Sturt in 1995, whose narrowest loss was to Central District by 24 points.
