Not sure if it is even necessary to break this one down. The Eagles are in all sorts and have given up all hope of avoiding the spoon, which was clearly evident in their 49-point loss to Richmond last week.

Yes, you would expect them to get up against Freo, but they can’t and the Dockers won’t let them either.

Fremantle are firming in as one of the favourites for the premiership, finally playing the standard of footy everyone expected at the start of the year. They fought back from 22 points down against the Magpies, showing that they have grit and muscle, which is a side of the Dockers we haven’t seen before.

I expect a blowout, with Freo putting up over 105.5 points and winning by over 50 points. Patrick Voss has an accuracy of just 46.81% in front of goal this season, but he put that behind him against the Pies, kicking 6.1. Expect the 22-year-old to gain a world of confidence from that performance and have a big on in the derby.

West Coast have lost by an average of 54 points at Optus Stadium in their last 2 matches.
Fremantle have scored 106 points or more in 4 of their last 5 matches against West Coast
West Coast averages 102.77 points against at Optus Stadium this season.
Patrick Voss kicked 6 goals last week against Collingwood.

Head to Head

Fremantle won by 38 points back in Round 3 this year taking their tally to 7 wins from the last 8 derby matches.

The previous 5 matches between West Coast and Fremantle have gone over the game total.

What a season defining moment for the Fremantle Dockers to hold on to a one-point victory over the league leading Pies and no more deserving man to kick the game winning goal than ruckman Luke Jackson, who has transformed this Dockers side as he becomes one of the elite in the league.

Fremantle stole the match from Collingwood who led by a match-high 22-points in the final term, however a sixth goal from Patrick Voss put the Dockers within one kick, after goals from O’Meara and Amiss and Jackson made no mistake with his set shot.

The Dockers have now won 8 of their past 9 matches with a loss to Sydney at the SCG their only blemish. Their defensive pressure continues to be their strength, allowing their opponents just 73.1 points per game in their last 5 matches, ranking third in opposition disposal efficiency.

Another disappointing performance by the Eagles guarantees them the Wooden Spoon in 2025, after getting done by 49-points to fellow cellar dwellers Richmond. With the game in the balance at half time, West Coast fell off the cliff again, giving up 52 points to the Tigers in the third quarter, eventually losing the match 105-56

Changes are on the horizon in the West and all of the talk has obviously shifted to next season. Will Harley Reid turn down the cash to stay or pack his bags for Melbourne.

It is hard to see the Eagles making any improvement over the next few years after another extremely disappointing 2025.
