Fremantle Dockers continued their stronghold over West Coast Eagles in the Western Derby, securing a massive 70-point victory.This marks their 10th derby win in 11 matches, showcasing their dominance in Perth's cross-town rivalry.

While the win elevates Fremantle's season record to match the 2015 side's achievements, concerns linger over inconsistent starts and defensive errors.The Dockers trailed at halftime for the fourth consecutive game, with Michael Frederick's missed opportunities costing them dearly.Despite this, young star Jye Amiss delivered a career-best performance, booting five goals and solidifying his All Australian prospects.

West Coast fought valiantly in the first quarter, led by Harley Reid's 30 touches and 12 clearances, but couldn't sustain their pressure beyond the break.

The Eagles' injury setback involving Oliver Francou adds to their woes, while Marcus Herbert's standout display for West Coast highlights promising talent.

Overall, Fremantle's depth and adaptability position them as strong contenders for the season title, though addressing inaccuracy remains critical.
