West Coast Eagles West Coast was founded in 1986 as an expansion team. It entered the AFL, then known as the Victorian Football League, in 1987 along with Queensland's Brisbane Bears. It reached the finals series for the first time in 1988, and won its first premiership in 1992, having been defeated in the grand final the previous year. It is the first non-Victorian team to play in and win a grand final. The Eagles have since won three more premierships, in 1994, 2006 and 2018. The club is currently coached by Adam Simpson and captained by Shannon Hurn. From 2013 to 2018, the East Perth Football Club, which competes in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), served as West Coast's reserves team.[1] From 2019 the Eagles will field a reserves team in the WAFL.[2] The Eagles have won the second most premierships (four, second to Hawthorn)[3] in the AFL era (1990 onwards) and are one of the most supported and financially dominant clubs in the league[4].
