A good year for Frank Shelford's First Grade with the forwards holding their own but the backs lacking inventiveness. Perth attempted to switch from their natural running game into a tactical kicking game in the finals but without success. A good effort to make the finals again but disappointing to go out with a whimper.

A fantastic finish to the year for Bill Watt's second grade, finishing third but going on to win the major premiership. A team that was all heart and turned it on when it counted.
