Talk:Western Australia Australian rules football team

Name
Was the team actually known as the Sandgropers? I know that recent WAFL teams have been known as the Black Swans but thought the older WA teams were just known as Western Australia. Hack (talk) 08:02, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Trove brings up "Sandgropers" for the state team as early as 1904 . I'm sure I heard Sandgropers quite a bit, at least for State of Origin.  I ♦  A  08:28, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It would seem the name has fallen out of favour in recent times. Hack (talk) 08:56, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
