was the 95th season of the <a href="/wiki/Western_Australian_Football_League" class="mw-redirect" title="Western Australian Football League">West Australian National Football League</a> in its various incarnations, and the last of forty-nine (including three under-age <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">wartime</a> seasons) under that moniker. </p><p>The season set many records for high scoring due to the still-ongoing <a href="/wiki/Climate_change_in_Australia" title="Climate change in Australia">drying of Perth's climate</a><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the new “interchange’ rule. The all-time record aggregate score of 60.18 (378) was set in the third last round between <a href="/wiki/Swan_Districts_Football_Club" title="Swan Districts Football Club">Swan Districts</a> and <a href="/wiki/Subiaco_Football_Club" title="Subiaco Football Club">Subiaco</a><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and has never been approached since. However, the overall average score of 112.52 points per team per game was not nearly so high as in the following few years under the ‘WAFL’ moniker. </p><p>A major highlight of the 1979 season was the all-time record attendance for local West Australian football of 52,781 in the Grand Final,<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> beating narrowly the previous record of 52,322 set in the 1975 decider.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The 1979 season was a critical turning point in the fortunes of many WANFL clubs. Perth, who had been a powerhouse ever since the end of World War II, winning six premierships and playing in the finals during twenty-four of the preceding thirty-two seasons, underwent a long-term decline that has seen the play in the finals since only <a href="/wiki/1986_WAFL_season" title="1986 WAFL season">in 1986</a>, <a href="/wiki/1991_WAFL_season" title="1991 WAFL season">1991</a> and <a href="/wiki/1997_Westar_Rules_season" title="1997 Westar Rules season">1997</a>, and take the wooden spoon on seven occasions as opposed to none between 1936 and 1980. With the loss of a number of veterans and major coaching problems which culminated in the resignation of newcomer Percy Johnson for former premiership mentor <a href="/wiki/Graham_Campbell" title="Graham Campbell">Graham Campbell</a>, West Perth, also a power club of the WANFL during the third-of-a-century before 1979, declined to their worst record <a href="/wiki/1939_WANFL_season" title="1939 WANFL season">since 1939</a> with only four wins.
