2010 West Coast Eagles season
The 2010 season was the West Coast Eagles' 24th season in the AFL. The Eagles finished 16th and last to record their first wooden spoon in the competition, just four years after their premiership season of 2006. West Coast played 22 games, including 12 at Subiaco Oval, winning just four and losing the remaining eighteen.[1]

Sydney then traded Amon Buchanan to Brisbane in exchange for pick 28.
