WAFL stalwart Tallan Ames retired from Swans. Was a very good player.
Subiaco, Peel and South again look the major three.

Perth Demons holding up the ladder. Would it be correct to say that they have made the finals only once since 1978 ?
VillageKid likes this post.
In 1986, they beat Claremont in the S/F by 73 points (162-89), then lost to Subiaco in the P/F by 71 points (97-168).
In 1991, they beat East Perth in the E/F by 7 points (86-79), then lost to Swan Districts by 88 points (63-151).
In 1997, they beat East Perth in the S/F by 67 points (114-47), then lost to South Fremantle in the P/F by 37 points (90-127).

No Grand Final appearence for 40 years. Would be a few wooden spoons in those 40 years too.

Followed East Perth closely in 84 and never missed a game, never seen such a bunch of scrubbers make the finals! However they were very gutsy. Went straight out in the first semi to Claremont.

Now that day had never seen a better WAFL team. South were a machine, but at the same time EP had nothing. End of the year South have missed the four and EP made it. The next two occasions they met in the season EP won both times. Incredulous.
Upsetting the eventual premiers at Hands Oval Bunbury in the first round helped to set up the Royals season that year to finish fourth..was just on guts because they had very little.
Recall EP getting over East Fremantle in a massive upset...a Regan ( famous WAFL name ) playing for EF had his jaw broken. It was scarey stuff. The Sharks finished up making the the GF against Swans. They were at least a ten goal better team than East Perth.

I remember future Collingwood premiership player Michael Christian playing well at Hands Oval against Swans. Some of East Perths former players at other clubs in 84 were blokes like Craig Edwards, Paul Arnold, George Michalyzk, champ Steven Curtis had gone to SA. They were just a few.
Very good player in Peter Thorne had left too. Think Larry Kickett might have gone to Claremont too. John Hayes had gone to South. Chris Allen he went to Swans.
Blokes like Russell Sparks came on in leaps and bounds. Big bad John Ironmonger had a good season. He did very well for the Sydney Swans going there the following season. Robert Solin was as tough as old boots.
Also VK East Perth in 1985 one year later I'm pretty sure got the wooden spoon. They could have easily finished last in 1984.

Following the miracle of 4th in 84 they finished around last or second last in 85, 86 and 87.
As you can imagine VK I was over the moon when they left Perth Oval. ( Not!! ) Gosh that was an underrated nice ground to watch football.
Another guy who did well for EP in 84 although right at the end of his career and just a shadow of the player he was. Former South Fremantle and Collingwood champ Stan Magro...a few blokes still having a look behind them if Stan was in sight. He was a bonus just being on the park, EP dropped him a few times, fair dinkum staggering.

Beautiful setting on the city’s doorstep with those lovely old trees bordering the old Lotons Park and the old heritage gates.
It is so sad to see what has not only become of the grand old ground but the former great club that graced the once hallowed turf.
Witnessed first hand some cracker SD vs EP games in the early 1980s that were full to the brim and an atmosphere to die for.

At the time thought this guy even though raw and spindly he may go ok for the Perth going by that crunch.
He left Perth about end of 86 and finished up playing over 100 games for Melbourne and 11 years after the 1984 hit at Lathlain Park was a Premiership player for Carlton in 1995.
His name Earl Spalding. The Duke.

Stan Magro played just the 20 games for EP in 83 and 84. Injuries caught up with him but certainly recall he had some presence out on the park in those twenty games.
East Perth were a bunch of scrubbers in 83 and 84 but still made the final four both years on guts 'n determination. Another bloke that had outstanding ability was Willy Roe - he also went to South Fremantle. Kevin Sparks and Greg Carpenter ( a future Melbourne Cup handicapper) both went to Subiaco in 1985.

Stan Magro, Basil Campbell, Mark Jackson, Don Haddow, Stephen Michael, Benny Vigona, none of them were backward in coming forward.
Simon Outhwaite he could dish a bit out too. There's another couple of them too...just won't come to mind.
Just thought of one more VK...Tony Amoroso...he was from Collie I think...very good rugged tough footballer.

Craig Edwards a huge loss for East Perth won a Sandover Medal at South Fremantle.
Don Haddow he was a frightening character- saw him deliver a few ( off the ball! ). Fremantle Oval around the members area for visiting teams was as frightening as it gets.
Fremantle, Bassendean and Leederville probably the scariest for any Royals supporter.

Very underachieving club South were at stages from 1982-86, for the talent and vigour they had. Must have been around 84 or 85 that John Worsfold debuted for the Bulldogs and they had John Dorotich around the same time. How they missed the four in a few of those years was remarkable.
Said something about the competition too. It was uncompromising.
