The club is based at Subiaco Oval in Perth, Western Australia and was formed when the AFL (then the Victorian Football League) decided to include a team from Western Australia in August 1986.
As of round 13 2005, the West Coast Eagles are AFL Premiership favourites, boasting an impressive 12-1 win-loss record (the only loss coming unexpectedly against then bottom-placed Collingwood Football Club), are sitting 3 games clear on top of the ladder, and captain Ben Cousins is the current Brownlow Medal favourite.
This perceived weakness was exacerbated by the loss to lowly Collingwood, although the Eagles bounced back by smashing reigning champions Port Adelaide Football Club by a record 117 points, before returning to Melbourne to beat top 4 team Richmond by 2 points, a match many regarded as the best game of the year.

 West Coast
West Coast's admission to the VFL in 1987 coincided with, indeed in a sense heralded, that competition's evolution from a suburban to a national concern.
The standard of football being played was low, and while rugby had clearly been displaced as the colony’s favoured code, by no stretch of the imagination could Perth and Fremantle be classified as ‘football cities’ after the fashion of Melbourne, Geelong or Adelaide.
Perhaps the most famous footballer to emerge from the goldfields region recently is current West Coast champion Dean Kemp, winner of the 1994 Norm Smith Medal for best afield in the AFL grand final.

The Collingwood Football Club (nicknamed The Magpies because of the fl and white jerseys worn by the players) is an Australian rules football club, playing in the elite Australian Football League.
The Magpies are known for its passinoate supporting base, and have traditionally been the team other fans "love to hate", due perhaps to their on-field successes combined with a "rough and ready" attitude in line with its working-class roots.
The national league may have diluted this feeling somewhat, but rivalries with fellow Victorian clubs Carlton Football Club and Essendon Football Club remain fierce.
