AR I don’t recall a season where we lost only 1 game for the season and by 1 point.
I would also point out that although the crowds plummeted immediately after the introduction of the Eagles it took some time for this to be filtered through in terms of the player quality in the WAFL. Since the turn of the century how many Grand Finals have you competed in and how many have you won? Also, how many wooden spoons have you collected in the same time period?
Ugly reading for PERTH,Moreso since 1979.
Or September 23,1978. 
Since then,2 Bermagui Bronzes are as close as we got to a Shot at the Title.
For all too brief a moment,we were Premiership Contenders in 1986 and 1997.
Not much to speak of otherwise.

appalling record.

Nup 1989 was a resurgent year and GF crowd despite terrible weather was almost 40K..bigger than previous years…
went pear shape after that.
not a bad return by SFFC.

I dont recall 89 being anything fantastic by way of crowd numbers compared to pre 87 but for arguments sake if it was the case it was only because the Dodos were abysmal that season winning only 1 game from their first 14 or 15 matches including only kicking 1 goal vs Essendon in the Windy Hill Massacre loss by 25 goals after the euphoria of the 1st year and making the finals in the 2nd season!
BH – I remember that game betwwen the WCE and Essondon: the entire crowd at Subiaco started laughing at them.

Check the figures.
1987 336,000 at home and aways 340,000 in 1989
1987 77874 at finals 130,434 in 1989 av final attracted 26,000 in 87 it was 19469.
GF 32340 1989 38198 ( still stands as a post AFL record shit weather as well)
in 1990 the comp slumped to a average attendance of 3437 at H and A from a record post eagles high of 4054 in 1989. In 87 it was 4004.
There was a final replay in 1989 WP v EF , played as a double header which attracted over 30,000 that day so even splitting the difference of 15,000 still leaves the 1987 finals figures for dead, ( albeit having been there that day the crowd for the SF v C final would of been over 15k anyway.)
Not a great one either geez there’s a few seasons in there that give me the Heebie Jeebies mate
We have a better WL record than 6 other clubs just C and S beat us, we have played in 8 GF’s More than 5 clubs and equal to 1, won 3 (should be more I guess)
Basically we are the third most successful club outside of the two giants C and S…
13 for 6 losses for Subi there Bazza

Yep, almost 50/50
Not if you take off Souths alignment years I wouldn’t think
1999 what a tragic time in our history
Thank christ the Garlic Munchers knocked us off in the GF, What the f##k was the hierarchy thinking.
Always trying to come up with some weak excuse to get SDFC off the hook for underperforming…lol
yeah 1 year that backfired and dorks ended up shafting us.
Interesting Mike wasnt aware it also happend in the 1960"s also.What a golden era of Wa Footy.
Facts are facts or did you think you could just gloss over it? Glad I can say my club has never danced with the devil, means more than successful seasons that are tainted
Yeh I reckon it would have been a stab in the heart for someone like yourself mate, more than others
Problem is your mob haven’t had to many of those, and no one wanted to hang out at bassendean anyway.
Claremont had a deal going with the WCE, Subi have their quids, then there was EP , you can moan about anything I guess. But yeah facts are facts and our factual figures are a lot better than your mobs.
