The West Coast Eagles joined the AFL in 1987 and became the first club from outside Victoria to win an AFL premiership when they defeated Geelong in 1992. They repeated that success in 1994 under the same coach, Mick Malthouse, and captain, John Worsfold, and again defeating Geelong. The Eagles reached all finals series in the 1990s with a disciplined approach to the defensive skills of football and a committed team ethic. They missed for the first time in 11 years in 2000 under new coach Ken Judge. In its short history, the Eagles have become one of the AFL’s benchmark clubs both on and off the field. In 2000, the Eagles farewelled captain Guy McKenna and in 2001, injuries forced co-captain Dean Kemp to retire. Fellow co-captain Ben Cousins had a sparkling 2001 in a disappointing season in which the Eagles finished 14th. In 2003 the Eagles made the finals and finished 7th in 2004. 2004 was also the year the Eagles saw its first Brownlow medallist in Chris Judd. The Eagles played in the 2005 Grand Final, losing to Sydney.
