The Socceroos are likely to sink the boot into West Coast's bid to become the first AFL club to attract 50,000 fans to seven consecutive home games during the regular season.

The Eagles are flying high on and off the field in 2018 thanks to their electric form and move to the new $1.8 billion Optus Stadium.

They are on the third line of premiership betting ($6) after 12 games this season, which included a 10-game winning streak either side of losses to modern rivals the Sydney Swans.

And the club's average home ground attendance of 53,697 after six games is well up on the 36,750 it averaged in the final year of AFL at Subiaco Oval.
