FOLLOW the action from the Western Derby No.37 between West Coast and Fremantle from Paterson's Stadium.
8.14pm - Fremantle 12 West Coast 23
WEST Coast dominated the first quarter against Fremantle but only leads by 11 points after Chris Mayne's goal after the siren.
Mayne was the beneficiary of a free kick in the goal square just seconds before the siren.
The Eagles made all the early running at Paterson's Stadium with Ashton Hams the chief destroyer with two goals in Derby No.37.
But Hams made a blue late in the term choosing to snap for goal when a conventional drop punt would suffice.
The small forward won a contentious high free kick decision but failed to punish the Dockers.

8pm - Fremantle 6 West Coast 21
IT'S taken a defender to get Fremantle on the board with Nick Suban converting from a tight angle to open the Dockers' account.
Suban made no mistake to end three-goal Eagles streak midway through the first quarter at Paterson's Stadium.
The Eagles have been ultra impressive with former St Kilda defender Jamie Cripps and small forward Ashton Hams on fire.
Cripps kicked the first goal of the match while Hams has taken two strong marks inside the arc.
7.50pm Fremantle 0 West Coast 12
WEST Coast has made all the early running with Josh Kennedy looking dangerous roaming across centre-half forward.
The spearhead who missed the bulk of last year with foot problems has taken a couple of strong marks while providing scoring opportunities for Eagles teammates.
Former St Kilda defender Jamie Cripps opened the scoring for the Eagles taking a strong mark 30m out directly in front.

PRE-GAME - A DEPLETED West Coast will be hoping its three-pronged attack can hold it in good sway against Fremantle in tonight's Western Derby.
The Eagles missing key playmakers Daniel Kerr, Nic Naitanui, Matt Rosa and recruit Sharrod Wellingham boast marking targets Jack Darling, Josh Kennedy and Mark LeCras inside the arc.
LeCras is the feel good story of the west playing his first game since rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament during the NAB Cup last year.
