West Coast Eagles take on Essendon Bombers at Optus Stadium this Sunday. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
Unlikely to be the best game of the weekend, but it could be the most interesting as far as narratives go. No one can say the sacking of Brad Scott on Tuesday came as a surprise, but it will be fascinating to see if the Bombers play with a renewed sense of vigor like Carlton has since Vossy bit the bullet. West Coast, meanwhile, should sense the importance of the moment after putting up a spirited fight against the Pies last week in front of a packed house. The Eagles are far from the team they were 12 months ago, and they certainly have the pieces to pick up a win on Sunday if they start out strongly. With key pieces like Andrew McGrath and Jye Caldwell all out injured for the Dons, West Coast should go in for the kill and look to make a statement.
Tip: West Coast 40+ @ .80
