West Coast Eagles vs GWS Giants AFL 2025 Round 17 FAQ’s

GWS are coming off their bye while West Coast will be in good spirits after arguably their best performance of the year in their loss to Collingwood last weekend. Last week was last week though and GWS will put the pump on the Eagles and cover what is a considerably kind line for West Coast.

The Giants have crushed the Eagles in their last two meetings by 50+ margins and have scored 100+ points in their last two matches against good defensive outfits. I expect the goals to pour in for the Giants, with Jesse Hogan out expect Toby Greene to fill the goal kicking void left by last year's Coleman Medallist.

The game total of 165.5 will be surpassed and Greene will go for 3+, adding to the 24 goals he has this season.

The last 3 Giants wins over West Coast have been by 52 points or more.
5 of the last 6 West Coast losses at Optus Stadium have been by a margin of 32 points or more.
4 of the last 5 matches between West Coast and GWS have gone over the match total
Toby Greene has had three 3+ goal games this season.

Head to Head

Greater Western Sydney got up by 81 points back in Round 4 kicking 20.12 in their 132-51 victory at ENGIE Stadium.

The Giants got up by 65 points against West Coast at Optus Stadium in Round 2 last season in their latest match played in Perth.

GWS have won 4 of their last 5 against the Eagles with the game total going to the over in 4 of the last 5 matches.

West Coast put up a good fight against the Magpies last week, even leading into the main break by 8 points, however, they couldn’t keep up the intensity and high pressure for the entirety of the match and fell 88-59 in the end.

It was a huge improvement for a side that needed huge improvement and now the next challenge will be getting up for it again for the second consecutive week and cause some waves against the Orange Tsunami.

The season couldn’t get any worse for West Coast and the only way is up really, the intensity they showed against Collingwood needs to be credited but it is tough to see them contesting like week in and week out.

The Giants are fresh off the bye in Round 16 going into the break with wins over both Queensland teams, the Lions 107-96 and the Suns 106-99.

GWS felt a little unstable there for a while but they have steadied the ship with 5 wins from their last 7 matches. Their latest two victories were tough battles, however, they came out on the right side of the result which is a positive for their group.

During their rut in late April it was the attack of the Giants that let them down, however, over the last month and a half it has been firing again with 3 100+ scorelines against teams with defensive credit in the Lions , Suns and Carlton.
