Airport West Football Club
- Airport West Football Club
An Australian rules football club, Airport West is located in the north-western suburbs of Melbourne. Formed in 1961, Airport West Football Club began competing in the Essendon District Football League the following year, and have remained in the competition since.
The club's first senior premiership arrived in 1978 in the short-lived A3 grade which ran from 1977 to 1985. A B grade flag followed in 1985 under the coaching of Bill Brewer, but it was the appointment of ex-Carlton player Des English as senior coach in 1992 that precipitated the club's greatest spell of success to date. Under English, Airport West won its first A Grade flag in 1992, and immediately followed it up with another.
Recent performances have been somewhat less distinguished, however. In 2003, the Eagles succumbed to relegation from A Grade without winning a match, and since then, with the exception of a 2005 season that saw them fail to qualify for the B Grade finals only on percentage, they have tended to struggle.
