Reviving my Bluesky account (for now) after my X account sadly went by the wayside.

Strong first half from the boys 💪🏽 …despite a lot of errors, turnovers and giving away 3x 50m penalties - imagine how good we could be if we tidied those things up! 🔴⚪️🔴⚪️🔴⚪️ #Bloods #GoSwans #AFLEaglesSwans

#AFL #Round4 #AFLEaglesSwans #WestCoast #Bloods
West Coast: $4.70 (10th, 2-0-1, 275/315, 87.3%); INS: Matthew Owies, Malakai Champion, Sandy Brock; OUTS: Elliot Yeo, Jacob Newton (Injured); Deven Robertson (suspended); Sydney: $1.19 (5th, 2-0-1, 318/228, 139.5%); INS: Isaac Heeney; OUTS: Caiden Cleary (Omitted). The West Coast Eagles are experiencing a rare period of optimism following back-to-back wins, but face a formidable challenge in the Sydney Swans
Recent Form West Coast (9th, 2W, 1L, LWW) showed immense resilience in their two-point win over Port Adelaide. The victory ended several unfavourable streaks and highlighted a growing maturity among their young leaders. Key Players West Coast’s Jake Waterman was instrumental in the Round 3 comeback, booting four goals beyond quarter time to snatch victory from the Power Sydney forward Joel Amartey remains a primary threat inside 50; he is currently averaging 3 goals, 9 disposals, and 4 marks per game this season
Head-to-Head Sydney has dominated this match-up in recent years, winning the last five encounters. This includes a 67-point win in Round 24 of 2025 and a massive 171-point victory back in 2023 While the Eagles have improved significantly, the Swans possess a level of midfield class and forward-line depth that is difficult to sustain. Sydney’s ability to find multiple goalkickers will test an Eagles defence that has relied heavily on Jobe Shanahan TIP: Sydney by 28+
West Coast: 10th, 2-0-1, 275/315, 87.3%; Sydney: 5th, 2-0-1, 318/228, 139.5%

Cooler heads prevail. Exciting stuff to see, blueprint is there, next man mentality in full effect. Rather lose games early in the season than in September. Lots to learn and lots to enjoy. We take stock in the bye. #bloods 🦢 🔴 ⚪️

Hawthorn, 6th (1-0-1, 240 for, 205 against, 117.1%), $1.35 Sydney, 1st (2-0-0, 236 for, 129 against, 182.9%), $3.22 Gamble responsibly
Hawthorn will look to cause an upset against the league leaders when they host a high-flying Sydney outfit at the MCG Recent Form: Hawthorn (6th, 1W, 1L) was dominant in Round 1, crushing Essendon by 62 points in a 145–83 victory. They utilised a fast-paced corridor game to record 23 marks inside 50, punishing any defensive errors with speed on the rebound Sydney (1st, 2W, 0L) remain unbeaten after a clinical 44-point victory over the Brisbane Lions. They currently boast the league's highest percentage of 182.9% after averaging 118 points per game across the opening fortnight Key Players: Hawthorn forward Jack Gunston was superb against the Bombers, proving his leading patterns are still elite by booting 5 goals from 10 disposals and has 9 goals already this term Sydney's Joel Amartey is also in scorching form, having kicked 8 goals this season, including a dominant 5-major haul from 13 disposals against the Lions
Head-to-Head: The Swans have won 6 of the last 10 encounters, though Hawthorn secured the most recent victory with a 20-point win in the 2025 Opening Round. Sydney's last MCG win against the Hawks was a 76-point thrashing in 2024 The Hawks' offensive speed will test a Sydney side that must find a way to cover the loss of injured star Errol Gulden and potentially Isaac Heeney TIP: Hawthorn by 11 points

Brisbane Lions rocked as Harris Andrews, Zac Bailey, Hugh McCluggage and Darcy Gardiner all likely out against (ahem) my beloved Sydney Swans.
It's not cool to feel schadenfreude, so I'll refrain ... 🤭
