East Fremantle proved the outstanding team, and won the second of what would become seven successive minor premierships and four successive flags. Subiaco denied a Perth club bolstered by the return as coach of Jack Leckie – who had masterminded their pre-war successes including their only premiership to that point[1] – its first finals appearance since 1920 with a convincing last round win. Claremont-Cottesloe won more games than in its first three seasons combined and a brilliant mid-season burst looked to assure it of a finals berth before a September fade-out – but the Great Depression and the financial power of several wealthy VFL clubs[2] prevented the Tigers sustaining this improvement.[3]

Following the death in a truck accident of champion coach Phil Matson, an upheaval off the field during the summer,[4] and the retirement of numerous top players of their 1920s dynasty such as Bonny Campbell, Val Sparrow (who took to coaching the club), “Paddy” Hebbard, Joe O'Meara and Jack Walsh,[5] former powerhouse East Perth suffered its first wooden spoon since 1913 and lost a club record fifteen consecutive matches. The Royals were also affected by injuries to remaining key players Owens and Fletcher,[6] who missed several games and were never fully fit.

Sol Lawn of South Fremantle beat the record of Bonny Campbell for most goals in a WAFL season, finishing with ninety-six.[7]

No teams had two wins after two rounds, as a succession of close finishes and the defeat of all the opening round victors suggested at this early stage that the seven clubs were very evenly matched.[16]

  • The match between Subiaco and West Perth was affected by a hailstorm at three-quarter time, which saw players and spectators seek shelter for several minutes away from the grandstand, though there was no actual interruption.[65]

Claremont-Cottesloe kick their highest score in the WA(N)FL until 1937 and their first ever twenty-goal score,[69] leaving West Perth as the only existing club not to have scored twenty goals in a game.[b] The result leaves the Tigers three wins clear inside the top four.
