The 2022 WAFL season is the 138th season of the various incarnations of the West Australian Football League (WAFL).The season commenced on the 15th of April, and concluded with the Grand Final on the 1st of October, with West Perth defeating Claremont at Leederville Oval by 12 points. Fixtures were released in stages, to allow for COVID flexibility. The first stage saw the first nine rounds of the season be released,[1] rounds 10-14 were released before the start of Round 7 (3 June),[2] and the final rounds (14-20) were released on July 8, before the start of Round 12.[3] All the teams from the previous season have been retained, as there was speculation if the West Coast Eagles reserves would return.[4]

The ‹See Tfd›East Fremantle vs ‹See Tfd›West Coast game was postponed a week due to the COVID crisis experienced by the AFL West Coast side, meaning not enough players were able to take the field for the WAFL ‹See Tfd›West Coast side.[15] In the end, the game was ‹See Tfd›West Coast's second biggest loss in the clubs WAFL history (123 points), only behind last years game against the same opponent, where they lost by 125 points. It was also the clubs second (at the time, now third) lowest score, and third highest score conceded.[16]

Jye Bolton with his career high 51 disposal game, became only the second player in WAFL history (after Shane Nelson) to notch 2 games with over 50 disposals, and only the 10th instance of a 50 disposal game overall.[17]

‹See Tfd›East Fremantle, ‹See Tfd›West Perth

West Coast's score of 1.5 (11) is the lowest in their brief WAFL history.[38] Not only this, but this score is also the lowest score any male team associated with the club has kicked, lowering the mark from the 1.12 (18) against Essendon way back in 1989.
