1985 WAFL Grand Final
The 1985 WAFL Grand Final was an Australian rules football game contested between the East Fremantle Football Club and the Subiaco Football Club, on 21 September 1985 at Subiaco Oval, to determine the premier team of the West Australian Football League (WAFL) for the 1985 season. East Fremantle won the game by 5 points, 15.12 (102) to 14.13 (97), with Brian Taylor of Subiaco being awarded the Simpson Medal as best on ground.

Grand Final
A crowd of 42,657, the lowest for a Grand Final since 1974, braved wet and windy conditions that favoured the eastern end of the ground. The East Fremantle captain-coach Ron Alexander, on winning the toss, elected to kick into the breeze and wasted little time in scoring the games opening goal from his own boot. Subiaco responded by scoring the next 5 goals before the teams traded pairs of goals. The 1st quarter ended Subiaco 7.4 (46) to East Fremantle 3.1 (19).

With the use of the breeze in the 2nd quarter, East Fremantle wrestled control of the game from their opponents and by the the 14th minute of the term had regained the lead after a Clinton Browning goal. It is a lead that Subiaco would be unable to head for the remainder of the match.
