AFL Gather Round West Coast vs Sydney, Fremantle vs Carlton, Geelong vs Western Bulldogs live updates — blog ...
Struggling West Coast and flag-hunting Sydney meet at picturesque Mt Barker, before Fremantle tackle Carlton and Geelong face the Western Bulldogs in a Gather Round Adelaide Oval double-header. Follow live.
The West Coast Eagles have won a quarter for the first time in 2024. Down 11 at quarter-time, the Eagles now lead the Swans by five points.
Harley Reid will be the talk of Mt Barker at half-time. He treated the Swans like he treated his under-18s opponents for the past two years, beasting them phyiscally and setting up scores for his teammates and himself.
The Swans have really struggled to get their flowing, running game going thanks to a well set-up Eagles defence. Barrass, McGovern, Cole and Duggan are getting through a power of work but are holding up well.
Half the job is done for the Eagles, but it's only going to get harder from here. The Swans will keep coming. Can West Coast keep up?
