	West Australian Football League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The introduction of the West Coast Eagles in 1987 saw the Victorian Football League (which was renamed the Australian Football League (AFL) in 1990) take precedence in the football scene in WA, and the WAFL remains as a second level, or feeder competition, below the AFL today.
		Progress of Australian Rules in Western Australia still lagged behind the big football cities of Melbourne, Adelaide and Geelong however and is evidenced by the unstable nature of the clubs that participated in the early years.
		The West Coast Eagles were formed and entered the VFL (the VFL was renamed the AFL in 1990).

	Australian rules football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australian football, which is also known as Australian rules football, or less formally as "Aussie rules", or simply as "footy", is a code of football which originated in Melbourne, Australia.
		Australian football is not yet large enough internationally for a FIFA-style governing body, so the AFL is primarily responsible for funding and governance and provides around A$500,000 annually for international development, especially junior programs.
		Australian football is the most highly attended spectator sport in Australia: government figures show that more than 2.5 million people (16.8% of the population) attended games in 1999 [7].

		The great West Indian No.3 batsman (who was one of West Indian cricket greats during its golden age from 1975 to 1995), a man synonymous with confidence and certainly acquainted with the notion of arrogance (for he was often accused of being so), reminded all that belief is all.

	Nickname - Australian Football League
		With South Australians known as the 'Croweaters' in State then State-Of-Origin football for many years, the 'Crows' nickname probably seemed an obvious choice, however, the 'Sharks' was also seriously considered³.
		To differentiate it from an Essendon football club that played in the old Victorian Football Association (VFA) between 1900 and 1921, the VFL's Essendon were known as the 'Same Olds', a name apparently inspired by the club's founding family, the McCrackens¹.
		The choice of the name 'West Coast', rather than the more obvious and logical 'Perth', was due to a 'Perth' team already playing in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).
