 | | The West Coast Eagles were initially formed when the local West Australian Football League applied in 1986 to enter a West Australian team in the Victorian Football League due to concerns with the constant drain of the league's best players to Victoria. |
 | | However, the Eagles rallied with five wins in the last seven weeks of the season, but while it was enough to stave off the wolves, it was not enough to keep John Todd in the role of senior coach, nor allow first year captain Murray Rance to retain the role. |
 | | West Coast are also supported by many professional athletes from other sporting codes including WA cricket legend Dennis Lillee (who is a former number 1 ticketholder for the club), Champion Boxer Danny Green and respected Melbourne Cup winner Damien Oliver. |
