The club is one of two AFL clubs based in Western Australia, the other being its main rival, the Fremantle Football Club.
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. 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.
