The West Coast Eagles (3-3) head to People First Stadium to face Gold Coast Suns (2-4) for round seven of the 2024 AFL Premiership campaign on Sunday.

The Suns haven’t improved from last year. They know how to beat sides below them, but their footy doesn’t translate well against the best, especially interstate sides. They were competitive for a quarter against the Swans but got blown away eventually.

The hosts are winless in three away games so they’ll be delighted to be back at home where they have a perfect record.

West Coast are riding the crest of a wave after dispatching an injury-hit Richmond Tigers and then shocking crosstown rivals Fremantle to clinch back-to-back wins for the first time since 2021, something only the most deluded Eagles supporter could have predicted.

What a pair of performances by the Eagles! Has it clicked into gear? Will they no longer be the competition’s basement boys?

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch Gold Coast Suns vs West Coast Eagles in the AFL, plus plenty more.

West Coast Suns team news

It couldn’t have gotten much better for the Eagles on Saturday night. West Coast supporters are still buzzing from their 37-point Western Derby victory against the Dockers.

However, They could be without Tom Barrass’s services after the gun defender received a one-match suspension for a dangerous tackle.

Prized draft pick Harley Reid has been integral to the team’s revival, while the return to form and fitness of veterans like Elliot Yeo means the Eagles have the ingredients and confidence levels to test the young Suns’ mettle.
