Perth played in its first finals match since 1997, against West Perth at Provident Financial Oval.[2] Contrariwise, Peel, for over a decade and a half Perth’s perennial rivals for the wooden spoon, became the first team since 1999 to finish a Westar Rules/WAFL season without a win – indeed before this COVID-19-shortened season no WAFL team had managed only one win in a season since the Thunder in 2003.
