West Coast Eagles vs Sydney Swans Preview

West Coast and Sydney will draw the curtain on disappointing 2025 campaigns when they meet at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. The Eagles’ woes deepened with a 126-32 hammering from the Bulldogs last week, leaving them at 1-21 and with eight losses by 50 points or more this season. Their rebuild remains at rock bottom, though a final home outing could spark some fight.

Sydney sits at 11-11, a respectable record on paper but a clear failure after last year’s grand final appearance. Missing finals for just the fourth time since 2003, the Swans will be desperate to at least close the year on a positive note. These clubs last met in Gather Round 2024, when Sydney prevailed 104-78 in the Adelaide Hills thanks to Isaac Heeney and Errol Gulden’s starring roles. Both sides have little but pride left to play for, but the Swans enter as heavy favourites.
