  • The Western Australia Australian rules football team is the state representative side of Western Australia in the sport of Australian rules football. Western Australia has a proud history in interstate football, having a successful historical record and winning three Australian Championships and a State of Origin Carnival Championship, in the State of Origin era. Western Australia has a long and intense rivalry with Victoria. The 1986 game between Western Australia and Victoria is "regarded by many people as one of the greatest games – not just in State of Origin – but in the 150 years of Australian Football". The team has been known as the "Black Swans" after the Black swan which is the state symbol emblazoned on their guernsey, however they are more popularly known as the "Sandgropers" after the West Australian insect, a nickname also more generally used for West Australians.
