Brisbane Lions vs West Coast Eagles Preview
The West Coast Eagles will make history this weekend when they start the biggest price, head to head, in the history of AFL betting.
They suffered a 171 point loss to Sydney two weeks ago which is simply unacceptable for a professional AFL team but bounced back to a semblance of form when narrowly going down to St Kilda last weekend.
The Saints are a team that have struggled to score points all season and the Brisbane Lions are not that.
In fact Chris Fagen and his men have scored more points so far this season than any other team in the competition and things could get ugly especially when we consider they are at home.
West Coast has lost their last 16 straight away games, lost their last five against top 4 opponents by 60+, and 12 of their last 13 by 40+.
