The 1933 WANFL season was the 49th season of the Western Australian National Football League in its various incarnations. It was the last year of a seven-team senior competition, and saw George Doig, during the second semi-final, become the first player to kick one hundred goals in a season.

The premiership was won by East Fremantle, who claimed its sixth straight minor premiership, after it defeated fourth-placed Subiaco in the Grand Final. Subiaco's feat in reaching the premiership decider was itself a remarkable one, given that the Victorian Football League had deprived it of the majority of it star players: only six of its 1931 Grand Final team played in the corresponding match two seasons later,[1] and the Maroons had been last or second last for most of 1933 before entering the four at the last minute. Old Easts led all season: despite losing a number of key players to the Sydney Carnival during July and August, the blue and whites won two of three games when depleted.[2]

Claremont-Cottesloe finished with its third consecutive wooden spoon, but defender “Sammy” Clarke became the first player to win the Sandover Medal in his debut season.[3]

  • On a sodden, windswept WACA after heavy early rain,[38] Perth’s score was the lowest of the season and the smallest against West Perth since Subiaco kicked 2.8 (20) in 1922.[39]
  • A misguided attempt by a defender to charge through a pack of opponents near goal costs Subiaco the match as a holding-the-ball decision gives South Fremantle the winning goal of a thrilling, skilful match almost on the bell.

  • With George Doig kicking nine to overtake Ted Tyson on the goalkicking, East Perth fall two games behind West Perth in the battle for the double chance as East Fremantle do not feel the loss of captain-coach Dolan and three other representatives.
