Woodville in 1985 with 46.35% was the last.West in 1979 had 48.3%
and they had 6 wins, IIRC, which might be a record for the bottom placed team. Wan't much between 10th and 7th. If only Woodville had beaten Port at Woodville, Port would have come bottom.

West had 7 wins and a draw in a 22 game season.
The ladder for that year shows how even it was
