West Coast Eagles vs Sydney Swans Preview
With no Vics allowed in Queensland, West Coast now hosts the Swans on the Gold Coast this Saturday arvo instead of the Tigers on Thursday night.
Hub life hasn’t been kind to the Eagles, although given the premiership favouritism they had going into this season they can’t use it as an excuse for their poor form of recent.
West Coast has suffered bad losses to the Suns, Lions and Port and have kicked six goals in each match.
This has nothing to do with being in an inconvenient hub as a result of a once in a lifetime pandemic situation, they are just no good right now.
Luke Shuey and Josh Kennedy have a crack, but the rest of the team need to find a way to get their mojo back and quickly.
Sydney had a bad night at the office against the Bulldogs last weekend but are so far 2-2 in season 2020 and can still produce some good football on their day.
The Swans have the wood over the Eagles winning 12 of their past 14 against them.
While the Eagles face the prospect of playing in Perth for the rest of the year once they leave the hub, they desperately need four premiership points.
I just can’t back them on their current form and am taking the Swans.
