The 2025 AFL season's Round 24 match sees the West Coast Eagles take on the Sydney Swans in a Saturday night clash at Optus Stadium.
Both teams will look to end their campaign on a high after both sides are not in contention for any finals spots. West Coast are 1-21 in the season and will finish as wooden-spooners.
The Eagles are also on the verge of unwanted history if they record another defeat by becoming the first club to lose 22 matches in a home-away campaign. Meanwhile, the Swans are 11-11 in the season and a win against the bottom-placed West Coast will see them finish with a positive record in 2025.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
