The 1994 WAFL season was the 110th season of the West Australian Football League in its various incarnations.

It was the final season before, to stem fears of dominance by the Eagles of the AFL, a second Western Australian team, the Fremantle Dockers was added to the national competition. Along with financial difficulties faced by perennial stragglers Perth and to a lesser extent West Perth, East Perth,[1] Swan Districts and on-field power club Claremont,[2] this made the league consider substantial measures to deal with the declining popularity of the competition. The 1994 season did see two home-and-away attendances of over ten thousand for the last time in the competition's history.

With president Tom James admitting that if the Falcons remained based in the aging districts of Daglish and Shenton Park, the club would be extinct by 2000,[3] West Perth took the league to the rapidly growing northwestern suburbs of the city by moving to Arena Joondalup in a newly developing region of the city, vacating Leederville Oval for six seasons until the redevelopment of Perth Oval as a rectangular soccer field for the Perth Glory forced the Falcons’ traditional rivals East Perth to move there. The 1994 season also saw the last WAFL games at the WACA Ground until 2022, due to redevelopment of the drainage and grandstands of Subiaco Oval during this and the early part of the 1995 season.

Another notable feature was the first converts to Australian Rules from basketball, Daniel Bandy and Leon Harris, who debuted for Perth and East Perth respectively. Bandy was to be a mainstay for the Dockers during their early years in the AFL.

  • Metallurgist Leigh Wardell-Johnson shows poise to help overcome a Subiaco team affected by the difference in training methods between WAFL and AFL for seven West Coast Eagle members.[5]
  • The loss of full-back Anthony Reynolds (who held Jon Dorotich extremely well) to a knee reconstruction sours a West Perth win much more convincing than the scoreboard suggested.[6]

  • With eventual Sandover winner Dargie sparking their attack, Subiaco make an abrupt return to form. Jason Heatley, after previously failing to live up to his 1993 form, kicks six goals in the first fifteen minutes and finishes with ten for an amazing 27 in three matches against the Royals.[9]
  • Perth lose key Victorian recruit Tony Campbell (who came to seek a place in the Dockers’ squad) with achilles tendon surgery, but press West Perth much more than expected.[10]

  • South Fremantle manage a surprising fightback from five goals behind after one quarter in gale-force wind and rain, as the Falcons lack their usual attack on the ball when the rain ceases at half-time.[14]

Saturday, 28 May Template:WAFL EP 8.10 (58) def. by Template:WAFL Cla 21.15 (141) Perth Oval (crowd: 2228)

East Fremantle suffer an amazing second-half collapse kicking only 1.4 (10) to 9.8 (62), including seven goals by the Falcons into the wind in the last quarter, as the previously out-of-sorts Turley and Mildenhall come to dominate when positioned in the centre.[16]

  • Gerard Neesham bows out as coach of Claremont with a fourteenth consecutive win despite surrendering a 28 point lead in a low-scoring match.[18]

  • Perth end a losing run of nine games as forward pocket Malcolm Williams, who immediately afterwards injured his knee,[19] took the pressure off Cooper with nine goals and 17-year-old wingman Troy Cook plays a decisive role as a loose man in defence.[20]
  • This was the first match played for the Greg Brehaut Shield in memory of the former Perth player and East Perth coach who died in 1993.

  • In a Grand Final preview, East Fremantle end Claremont’s best-ever start to a season and the first team unbeaten over halfway in since the Sharks of 1985.[21]
  • 35-year-old Mike Richardson, discarded by John Todd at the end of 1993, makes a comeback for West Perth when the Falcons lost key played to AFL duty despite having had no training.[19]

  • 19-year-old rookie Scott Crook produces a surprise performance on returning Eagle star Peter Sumich, holding him to one goal in his first WA(S)FL match since 1989 and leaving South a desperate struggle against the cellar-dwellers.[23]
  • For the first time, Subiaco play to the potential expected from them by critics, as midfielders Hampson, Godden, Connell and Snow lead the Lions out of the blocks with six first-quarter goals into the wind – after which the Sharks never get into the game.[24]

Saturday, 9 July Template:WAFL EF 9.12 (66) def. Template:WAFL WP 7.6 (48) East Fremantle Oval (crowd: 2196) [25]
  • In wet conditions,[26] East Perth are the first team goalless in the second half since East Fremantle against Subiaco in 1988.
  • A few stern words from fans at half-time gives rookie Tiger coach Mark Riley valuable experience as he leads the Tigers to a seven-goal second half in the mud.[27]
  • Warren Nicholas’ 150th match sees Adrian Barich and Wayne Allard control play so well that Perth’s ineffective forward work cannot give the Bulldogs a win. It was Perth’s first win at Fremantle since 1987.[28]

Saturday, 16 July Template:WAFL Sub 19.10 (124) def. Template:WAFL Cla 10.7 (67) Subiaco Oval (crowd: 2400)

Subiaco’s dominance of possession from the centre – 144 possessions from six midfielders as against Claremont’s 110 amongst eight – allows it to inflict the Tigers’ worst loss for two seasons, despite losing key forwards Jason Heatley and Karl Langdon early on.[31]

  • Former specialist ruckman Paul Harding is unexpectedly shifted into defence and dominates the Bulldog attack, notably Jon Dorotich, to leave the Sharks only 2.7 percent short of third position behind the disappointing Swan Districts.[33]
  • Subiaco’s suspect defence – in 1993 it conceded more points than any other team’s bar Perth’s – led by ex-forward Daniel Metropolis, plays exceptionally well to virtually seal the top five with five rounds remaining.[34]

East Fremantle’s superb tagging decimate the league-leading Tigers after quarter-time, leavign the Sharks a win from the double chance with two rounds to play – and question marks over the post-Neesham Tigers’ capability of winning the flag.[38]

  • With Paul Harding seemingly having the field to himself in the ruck, East Fremantle completely crush Subiaco, ending the Lions’ eight-game winning streak and gaining revenge for the 1993 loss that put them out of the finals.[39]
  • Former Subiaco and West Coast premiership player Dwayne Lamb plays his 300th game of senior football in the Lions’ debacle.
  • West Perth produce a stunning escape with six of the last seven goals to consign Swan Districts to the sudden-death elimination final.[40]
  • South Fremantle just fail to fight back from six goals down at half-time when fired up by the report of spearhead Dorotich for threatening language to field umpire Mark Warren,[41] and East Perth effectively assure Perth of a second consecutive wooden spoon.

  • Since the two finals were played at the same venue on the same day, the attendance figure is the same.
  • These were the last WAFL games at the WACA Ground until 2022, used because improvements to Subiaco Oval reduced its capacity and to help reduce the stress on its surface, which needed re-digging to improve drainage.[44]

  • With Paul Morgan kicking eight goals and Daniel Panizza[46] keeping Andrew Lockyer to 0.2 (2), Claremont are never troubled to make their way into the Grand Final

Several major moves by Shark coach Ken Judge, including veteran Malaxos from defence to the ball and Paul Harding to defence, completely break down the system of West Perth, who score only 2.3 (15) to 11.8 (74) in the second half.[47]
