Where and when: Henson Park, Sunday, October 25, 12.35pm (9.35am AWST)

Last time we met: Sydney 6.7 (43) defeated West Coast 3.8 (26), round 11, 2025.

West Coast will be looking to overturn the result from the sides' most recent meeting, after Sydney claimed a 17-point victory. The Eagles were dealt a blow before the opening bounce with Ella Roberts withdrawn late due to hamstring tightness, but Bella Lewis battled hard with 24 disposals and five clearances. West Coast fought to stay in touch throughout the afternoon but couldn't reel in the Swans, who were inspired by a three goal performance from Rebecca Privitelli in the win.

What it means for the Eagles: West Coast will be determined to bounce back after a disappointing 53-point loss to Geelong last week. With just two games remaining in the home-and-away season, a win over Sydney would provide an opportunity to respond strongly, regain confidence and build momentum heading into the final round. The Eagles have shown resilience throughout the season and will be eager to finish the campaign on a positive note, making Sunday's clash an important chance to reset and reinforce their best football.

The stat: Emma Swanson will become the first Eagle to reach 75 AFLW games this weekend.

Oppo in focus: Zippy Fish

Zippy Fish shapes as one of the Swans' most influential players and will be a key focus for the Eagles on Sunday. The Western Australian product has enjoyed another strong season, using her speed, composure and clean ball use to drive Sydney's transition from defence into attack. Fish can impact games both through the midfield and across half-back, making her a difficult matchup when given time and space

It’s a big week for: Emma Swanson

Emma Swanson will reach a significant milestone on Sunday, becoming the first player to play 75 AFLW games for the Eagles. One of the club's inaugural AFLW players, Swanson has been a constant presence since the team's inception, earning All-Australian selection, multiple club champion awards and establishing herself as one of West Coast's most respected leaders. With two games remaining in the season, the Eagles will be eager to celebrate her milestone with a strong performance against the Swans.

Big call: The Eagles rediscover the defensive form that fuelled their winning streak, restricting Sydney to fewer than four goals for the afternoon.
