2002 WAFL season
The 2002 WAFL season was the one hundred and eighteenth season of the West Australian Football League. It saw East Perth, despite the end of the first host club scheme that was thought to have unfairly favoured the Royals,〔Lewis, Ross; ‘Lions Mount Royal Reversal’; in ''The Game'', p. 11; from ''The West Australian'', 8 April 2002〕 win their third successive premiership for the first hat-trick in the WA(N)FL since Swan Districts between 1982 and 1984. The Swans themselves had a disastrous season as chronic financial troubles, which had plagued the club for almost a decade were combined with disastrous results on the field.〔See Lewis, Ross; ‘Todd Era Draws to a Close’; in ''The Game''; p. 3; from ''The West Australian'', 3 June 2002〕 The black and whites were within two points of a winless season in the seniors and did little better in the lower grades.
Cinderella club Peel Thunder, despite going within two minutes of the first goalless score in senior WAFL football for over eighty-six years and being voted out of the competition by seven of the other eight clubs at a meeting to extend their licence on 6 May,〔Reid, Russell, ‘Peel Ready for Court Battle’; ''The West Australian'', 7 May 2002, pp. 53, 56〕 achieved their best overall record to date and their first tangible honours as diminutive on-baller Allistair Pickett won the Sandover Medal. The Thunder, remarkably, provided in Daniel Wells the joint runner-up in the Medal as well as the winner. The loss of these players, and of financial support given to prevent Peel from folding, was to see the Thunder after three years of relatively promising on-field form including wins against three finalists in 2002〔Lague, Steve; ‘Peel Equals Best Season’; ''The Game'', p. 11; from ''The West Australian'', 19 August 2002〕 again hit rock-bottom the following season. The league’s most famous club, East Fremantle, aided by two lower grade premierships from 2001, rebounded from their disastrous senior record that season to make the finals aided by the only ruck division able to rival the Royals,〔Lewis, Ross; ‘Big Sharks Prove Handful’; ''The Game'', p. 11; from ''The West Australian'', 22 July 2002〕 but this was to be their last finals appearance for the decade as the Sharks reached depths not experienced at any point during the twentieth century over the subsequent four seasons, winning a mere nineteen of eighty matches.
Even apart from Peel’s near-goalless score, 2002 was notable for low scoring, with the high score of 22.13 (145) the lowest in the WAFL since 1927,〔(WAFL Footy Facts: All Seasons Summary )〕 and the average of 80.83 points the lowest since 1954, in an era when Perth received rainfall〔Flannery, Tim; ''The Weather Makers: The History and Future Impact of Climate Change''; p. 131 ISBN 0802142923〕 much greater than under present-day greenhouse gas concentrations.〔See (Indian Ocean Climate Initiative: Stage 3: Summary for Policymakers )〕
