West Coast vs. Sydney Predictions
—
Best Bet
It has been a tough year for Sydney, especially compared to the heights of last year. However, the Swans could end the season with a big win over the struggling Eagles.
West Coast has been as close to awful as possible, posting just one win. There is no sign of life in sight for the franchise, and we expect Sydney to dominate from the outset with a big performance on the road.
Playing at home doesn’t help West Coast, which was beaten 126-32 last week against the Western Bulldogs, and it could be a repeat of that performance. They’re desperate looking for the off-season, and Sydney should end the year with a positive 12-11 record.

Same Game Multi
Isaac Heeney is having the most consistent year, but his best form is elite. He has two five-goal games from the last five weeks, and despite scoring only one goal against Geelong last week, West Coast’s defence shouldn’t slow him down.
Getting $2.80 from bookmakers is an excellent price for Heeney 3+ goals, and he bumps up AFL SGM odds nicely. We’re also including Will Haywood 2+ goals at $1.69. He has seven goals from his last five games, and he should want to end the year with a big showing.
Under 165.5 is also included in our picks, and although Sydney could score a big total, West Coast is likely to struggle offensively.

Best Value Bet
We’re picking Heeney to kick the first goal of the game, which should set up Sydney for a big performance.
Heeney often strikes early for the Swans, and with a West Coast player unlikely to get an early chance of kicking a goal, that should allow the Swans players to get the best early chances.
Take the $9.75 odds with bookmakers.
