East Fremantle is the most successful club in WAFL history, winning 30 premierships since their entry into the competition in 1898.
East Fremantle became known affectionately as ‘Old East’ or ‘Old Easts’ after the admission of East Perth to the competition in 1906. The nickname continued to be used until 1983, when the nickname of ‘the Sharks’ was adopted.
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.
