The East Fremantle Football Club, nicknamed the Sharks, is an Australian rules football club playing in the West Australian Football League (WAFL). The team's home ground is East Fremantle Oval. East Fremantle are the most successful club in WAFL history, winning 29 premiership since their entry into the competition in 1898.[1]

Short history

The East Fremantle Football Club was formed in 1898 and has won 29 league premierships in the West Australian Football League, making the club the 2nd most successful in Western Australia and the third most successful, to South Bunbury Football Club, with 44 SWFL premierships, in Australia.[citation needed]

East Fremantle has a fierce rivalry with its Port cousin, South Fremantle, and the Foundation Day Derby between the two sides is a much anticipated highlight of the local football calendar. East Fremantle's success has thus far eclipsed that of South Fremantle, who (as of 2009) have won just 13 WAFL premierships.

Up until 1987, Western Australia was immersed in WAFL culture and East Fremantle enjoyed a strong following. In 1987, a Perth-based franchise – the West Coast Eagles – joined an expanded Victorian Football League. West Coast's initial squad included many East Fremantle players and they were coached by former East Fremantle premiership player and coach, Ron Alexander. Interest in the semi-national competition saw attendances at WAFL games start to fall.

The Sharks once pulled on average 10,000 people to a home game. Now – in 2007 – 2,000 people to a home game is considered a strong attendance. http://sbfc.com.au/history.html
