West Coast Eagles vs Sydney Swans Preview

West Coast and Sydney will close out disappointing 2025 seasons when they clash at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. The Eagles hit a new low last week, thrashed 126-32 by the Bulldogs, leaving them with a 1-21 record and eight defeats by 50 points or more. Their rebuild is still very much in its infancy, but a final outing in front of home fans could inspire a spirited performance.

Sydney’s 11-11 record looks respectable, yet it marks a major letdown after last year’s grand final appearance. Missing finals for just the fourth time since 2003, the Swans will be eager to end a frustrating campaign on a positive note. When these sides last met at Gather Round 2024, Sydney claimed a 104-78 win in the Adelaide Hills, driven by standout games from Isaac Heeney and Errol Gulden. With little more than pride on the line, the Swans head in as strong favourites.
