WAAFL History

WA - Amateur Football Leagues Perth Football League

Looks like there may be a few WAAFL stalwarts here, and maybe more to come - so I’ll start this thread.

I’m collecting all the ladders from the WAAFL back to inception. Trouble is the league didn’t keep anything, and before Westside Football in 1980 there was zero!

I’ve already tried to collect finals and I have a few gaps (I’ve only worked back to 1948 in the Sunday Times), but the real problem is going to be the ladders. I did stumble onto a A Grade one from 1952 in the Swan Express but I can’t rely on flukes like that for all years and all grades!

My plan at the moment is to scan the Sunday Times scores back to 1955 at whatever library I can get it done at, and then from 1954 and back do it on Trove online. Then collate the results into my own ladder - but there are bound to be missing results, especially in the lower grades.

One of the Canningvale guys (stacksonthemill) from footygoss has a heap of old info - he might be able to help you out.

The Football Budget from the late 1940’s to mid 50’s published the Amateurs ladders.

I used to be stacksonthemill.

Yeah, I have a lot of the ladders and finals but not much from the 1970s.

WAFL Budget is good for post-WW2.

Can you post the WAAFL A & B Grade Ladders as an attachment onto the Oz Footy site?

Be interesting to see who has come up and down during that period!

Over the weekend, I will attach a spreadsheet which shows where every team’s League side has played between 1922 and about 2013, which will show you the clubs that have been in A and B Grades over the years.

Both files are under 500KB each but I cannot attach them, even as PDFs.
Anyone know how to do it?

Upload to external site, and post the link to download the files here.

Here is a link to the competition gradings between 1922 and 2012.

This will allow you to work out the teams in A& B Grades over the years.
