Preview:
Five wins on the trot see the Eagles back inside the top four, but there’s plenty left to be desired from the reigning premiers.
West Coast were demolished in the disposal count last week against the Bulldogs, and although they won convincingly on the scoreboard, the Eagles need to dig deep if they wish to put an end to their 20-year hoodoo at the SCG.
The Swans own seven straight wins at the SCG over West Coast dating back to 1999. Sydney fell to 3-8 following last week’s trip to The Cattery, but there were plenty of positives to take away from the 22-point loss.
Sydney has won their last two games over the Eagles by convincing margins, making the Swans a worthwhile upset play this week.
The Swans have never opened as the underdog at home to the Eagles, while West Coast’s track record against Buddy Franklin poses a few concerns. In his last two games against the Eagles, Buddy has combined for a whopping 10 goals.
For the Swans, the key to winning this game will be getting the ball to Buddy cleanly inside 50, but also winning the third quarter. Both sides are 5-6 in the third term this year, but with a two-decade-long hoodoo on their back, take the Swans to add to West Coast’s misery in Sydney.
