Western Australia has continued to develop and produce some of the best players to grace an AFL field for decades.
With Brownlow medallists, Coleman Medal winners, soon-to-be hall of famers and a seemingly endless list of premiership stalwarts, many out of the WAFL's pathways have gone on to be AFL icons this century alone.
Taking a look back on the best players to come from the WAFL, we've named the greatest player each club has produced for the AFL since the century began.
Here's who we've selected, along with a few honourable mentions for each WAFL club...
9. West Perth
The fourth West Coast player to make this list, Darling has wrapped up his time with the Eagles but will continue his career in Victoria from 2025 with North Melbourne.
He leaves the club as their second-best goalkicker ever, having booted 532 goals from his 298 games as an Eagle, playing a role in the club's 2018 premiership win and claiming All-Australian honours the following year.
While working in tandem with the aforementioned Josh Kennedy, Darling led the Eagles' goalkicking in four separate seasons across his 14 years with West Coast.
He narrowly beats three-club, three-time premiership player Brad Hill to be the Falcons' No.1 since 2000, while fellow ex-Eagles sharpshooters Quinten Lynch and Mark LeCras get a mention, as do Nathan van Berlo, Stephen Hill and Oscar Allen.
