Whilst it involves a Loss to East Fremantle in Round 16,is there anyway to set the record straight on 3 or 4 stats with Wikipedia(1976 WANFL Season)?
1 - East Fremantle only kicked 15.17 107 that day,not 25.17 167 as Wikipedia states.
2 - The Final Margin was 9 points,not 69.
3 - Perth conceded 1966 points for the Season,not 2026.
4 - Our Percentage for 1976 was 122.78,not 119.2
It Might seem like a small issue to outsiders,but like Ric’s Facts and Stats and the 1976 Football Register,it should be as correct as those 2 important sources for Western Australian Football,thank - you!

There’s another score that’s wrong.
From 1977.
Our 3rd Win over Subi on Wiki had us scoring 23.11 149.
I thought,no way,that’s wrong.
Sure enough,Ric had us scoring 26.16 172,as I recall us winning by just under 100 points,like we did against Claremont 2 Rounds earlier.
Wiki also had us scoring 2655 points for the Season.
Ric had us scoring 2678,as the 1979 Football Register noted,when 5th placed Swans fell short of that Record by 5 points.
And of course,our Real Percentage(133.70) was higher than Wiki(132.6)which is not always on the Mark with WAFL Scores.Club Supporters should possibly keep an eye out for any variations and bring it with Ric or their Club Historian.
