Where and when: Mineral Resources Park, Sunday, September 28, 3.05pm

Last time we met: West Coast 10.4 (64) def. Greater Western Sydney 6.4 (40), round five, 2024.

The Eagles recorded a club-high score in a commanding win over the Giants at Henson Park, led by a breakout performance from Ella Roberts who booted three goals and collected 20 disposals. West Coast surged ahead with a six-goal run across the second and third quarters, while GWS struggled to respond despite a strong defensive showing from Izzy Huntington and a career-best three goals from Tarni Evans. The win lifted the Eagles into the top eight, while the Giants’ finals hopes took a hit.

What is means for the Eagles: After a tough 51-point loss to Melbourne last weekend, a win on home turf would be a crucial confidence boost for West Coast. It’s an opportunity to reset, rediscover their winning form, and show resilience in front of their home fans. With the season still wide open, bouncing back strongly would reaffirm the team’s belief and momentum. A victory would not only steady the ship but also send a message that the Eagles are capable of responding with intent and grit when challenged.

The stat: Despite a heavy loss to Melbourne last round, West Coast still ranks in the AFLW’s top eight for inside 50s per game (averaging 41.2), showing they’re generating opportunities.

Oppo in focus: Zarlie Goldsworthy

Zara is one of the AFLW’s brightest young stars and a game-changer for the GWS Giants. A dynamic midfielder-forward hybrid, Goldsworthy combines explosive speed, sharp goal sense and elite ball use to consistently impact contests. Already a Rising Star winner and club best and fairest, she’s known for her ability to break lines, hit the scoreboard and lift her side with moments of brilliance. Whether bursting from stoppages or creating chaos inside 50, Goldsworthy’s versatility and flair make her a constant threat and a key player to watch.

It’s a big week for: Kellie Gibson and Roxy Roux

Gibson will celebrate her 50th game in the blue and gold in front of a home crowd at Mineral Resources Park. As one of the club’s most experienced campaigners, she has been a consistent presence throughout West Coast’s journey in the competition.

Roux reaches the AFLW 50-game mark, having built a reputation as a dynamic and fearless competitor. Her energy and physicality have made her a fan favourite and a key figure in the Eagles’ forward line. A win on Sunday would be a fitting tribute for the dual milestones highlighting two players who have made significant contributions to the club.

Big call: Kellie Gibson celebrates her 50th game with a standout performance, kicking 3+ goals.
