Background

South Fremantle enter the season off the back of their 15th premiership, having defeated East Perth by two points in the grand final. WA Football confirmed that several of the rule changes adopted for the 2026 AFL season would also be incorporated in the WAFL, including the discontinuation of the centre bounce and a last disposal out of bounds rule between the 50-metre arcs, among others.[2]
