This is a list of records from the West Australian Football League (WAFL) since its inception in 1885 (formerly known as the West Australian Football Association, West Australian National Football League, Western Australia State Football League and Westar Rules).
Note: The score of 41.30 (276) by East Perth against South Fremantle in 1944 was in an under-19 competition due to the loss of players to serve in World War II, and is excluded in some sources. The score of 40.18 (258) by South Fremantle against West Perth in 1981 is the record in WAFL senior competition.
† Peel Thunder scored 10.10 (70) for the match, but their score was deleted as a penalty for playing former Fitzroy and Subiaco rover Peter Bird without a clearance.[2]
1 Sheedy played 37 games in 1942-1944, which was in an under-19 competition due to the loss of players to serve in World War II; these games are excluded in some sources, which list Sheedy as playing 295 WAFL games.
The only other player to play 300 WAFL games was Kris Miller (East Fremantle, South Fremantle), who played 303 games between 1999 and 2014.
