We return to The Good Grocer Park this Saturday afternoon for what promises to be a high-quality contest against the West Coast Eagles. With plenty of AFL-listed players expected to feature on both sides, this one has all the makings of another intense and entertaining clash — much like our Round 1 victory, where we ran out 49-point winners in front of our home crowd.

This weekend, it’s just the League side in action, so all attention turns to this crucial match. We’re calling on all Sharks supporters to get down, be loud, and help lift the team in what is shaping as a defining moment in our season.

Why this game matters

Sitting on 8 wins, we’re still firmly in the hunt for a finals berth. Every game from here on carries weight, and this one is no exception. A win here strengthens our position and keeps us right in the mix as the race for September intensifies.

Our recent record against West Coast is strong — three wins from the last four meetings, and seven wins from eleven overall. We’ve been consistent at both ends of the ground, averaging 12 goals per game while keeping opposition scoring in check. But West Coast showed in Round 3 last year that they’re more than capable of causing an upset if we’re not switched on.

We’ve built some momentum, we’re back on home turf, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Let’s make it count.

Up the Sharks.
