1925 WAFLB Season

This page displays the results for the 1925 season of the Western Australian Football League B-Grade (currently known as the West Australian Football League Reserves).

It featured nineteen rounds in a double round-robin format with five qualifying rounds that excluded the team (East Perth B-Grade) that placed last on the ladder after the first fourteen rounds. Each team received two byes. It should be noted that teams did not necessarily play their matches following the same order as the nominal round numbers of those matches this season. The East Fremantle B-Grade were the minor premiers.

The premiership ended with a finals series following the Second Amended Neutral Argus system. The Perth B-Grade were the premiers.
