The Eagles' journey to success has been nothing short of remarkable. From humble beginnings in the late 1980s, the club has risen to become one of the most successful in the Australian Football League (AFL). Their iconic blue and gold guernseys have become synonymous with sporting excellence, community spirit, and unwavering determination.

  • A Team of Champions: Over the years, the Eagles have boasted a formidable lineup of legendary players who have cemented their place in AFL history. From the likes of Peter Sumich, Glen Jakovich, and Ben Cousins, to more recent stars like Nic Naitanui and Elliot Yeo, the team has consistently fielded a roster of exceptional talent.
  • Unforgettable Moments: The Eagles have gifted us with countless unforgettable moments that have etched themselves into the memories of fans. Who can forget the heart-stopping 2006 Grand Final victory over the Sydney Swans, or the triumphant return of the premiership cup in 2018? These victories have not only brought immense joy to the West Coast community but have also instilled a deep sense of pride in our team.
  • More Than Just a Game: For many, supporting the West Coast Eagles is more than just about cheering on a football team. It's about connecting with a community that shares a passion for the game. It's about attending thrilling matches at the iconic Optus Stadium, adorned in blue and gold, and chanting "We Are West Coast" alongside thousands of fellow fans.

The Eagles represent more than just a sports club; they are an integral part of our Western Australian identity. They inspire us to strive for greatness, to overcome adversity, and to never give up on our dreams.
