GWS GIANTS vs West Coast Eagles Preview

GWS must defeat West Coast at ENGIE Stadium to preserve its slim chance of reaching the Wildcard Finals Round. The Giants suffered a damaging 79-77 loss to Gold Coast, with injuries to Jayden Laverde and Toby Bedford adding to the setback. They begin the round eight points outside the top 10 and have little room for another mistake. West Coast was competitive in a 117-98 loss to Collingwood, led by Elliot Yeo’s 28 disposals, 11 clearances and a goal. The Eagles also have recent success in this matchup, upsetting GWS by 17 points in Round 10 as Harley Reid amassed 34 disposals and kicked twice. GWS should control territory at home, but Jake Waterman’s aerial presence gives West Coast a genuine chance to score first.
