Perth Football Club - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (10858 words) |
 | Western Australian football itself was on something of a 'high' at this time, with the state team taking to the field for the first ever time in matches against Victoria in Melbourne (lost, but with credit), and South Australia in Adelaide (won). |
| The standard of club football reached a new pinnacle of excellence too, particularly in the case of the two Fremantle teams, plus Perth and West Perth. |
| The West Australian football landscape may have altered irreversibly, and Perth's importance in the overall scheme of things may be perceived by some to have diminished, but without healthy, vibrant state League clubs the AFL's ill-won empire would all too soon crumble like the proverbial house of cards. |
| Subiaco (2855 words) |
| Towards the end of the 1986 football season Subiaco coach Haydn Bunton junior was one of several men rumoured to be in the running for the role of inaugural coach of the West Coast Eagles. |
| Records of junior football in Perth at the close of the 19th century are scant, but it does not appear that the fledgling Subiaco Football Club, which chose maroon and blue as its colours, enjoyed much success in its inaugural season. |
| Subiaco's emergence as a junior football power was timely given that the Western Australian Football Association, after a number of seasons during which the game's image had been severely tarnished by profligate roughness among its players, had begun to consolidate, and indeed was now looking to expand. |
