Australia. It saw Perth, after having won only two premierships in its first sixty-six seasons, win its third consecutive flag under captain-coach <a href="/wiki/Mal_Atwell" title="Mal Atwell">Mal Atwell</a> and champion rover <a href="/wiki/Barry_Cable" title="Barry Cable">Barry Cable</a> – all three Grand Finals having been won against East Perth with Cable taking the Simpson Medal. </p><p>Among numerous highlights, champion Subiaco full-forward Austin "Ocker" Robertson broke by one goal the 1953 record of <a href="/wiki/Bernie_Naylor" title="Bernie Naylor">Bernie Naylor</a> for the most goals in a WANFL home-and-away season, doing so with a whopping twenty-six scoring shots against East Fremantle in the final round.
