The West Coast Eagles are enduring a dramatic form slump since winning two of their first three games to start the 2026 season, but they will be looking to turn things around against the GWS Giants at Optus Stadium.
After a fighting second half against Melbourne at Marvel Stadium last week, the Eagles—who have adopted the name Waalitij Marawar for Sir Doug Nicholls Round—will hope a better start can give them a chance at victory.
Aaron Cadman and Jake Stringer strike imposing figures up forward for the visitors, but West Coast won't have to tackle Jesse Hogan with their undermanned defence.
They will also desperately hope co-captains Liam Baker and Liam Duggan find some form to lead the youngsters like Josh Lindsay and Willem Duursma, who have started their careers with promise.
