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.
West Coast was involved in one trade before the 2010 season - a three-way trade involving Brisbane Lions and Sydney. West Coast traded Brent Staker and draft picks 39 and 55 to Brisbane in exchange for Bradd Dalziell, and then traded Mark Seaby to Sydney in exchange for draft picks 22 and 118. Sydney then traded Amon Buchanan to Brisbane in exchange for pick 28.
