Sydney have lost three in a row and will be desperate to avoid going 0-4 for the first time since their disastrous 1993 campaign. On face value, an away clash with West Coast is far from ideal. But the Swans play at Subi better than most, and they will take heart from having beaten their old foes in nine of their last 10 contests. The Eagles (2-1) looked flat during last week's loss to Richmond but should lift their intensity back at home.
Key: West Coast spearhead Josh Kennedy was well-held by the Tigers, and - with the exception of Mark LeCras - hasn't had much help. The Eagles need more goals from their midfielders and small forwards.
Tip: Eagles by 25 points
