A massive game for both clubs this weekend, Derby number 60.
At the moment West Coast lead the count, 33 to 26.
Both teams seriousy need to win this one.And as we all know, the Eagles punished the Dockers in the firt derby last year.
Both teams will want to come out firing and it will be a tough hard fought game I am sure.
As a Docker supporter, I amwary of the result in this one.A game that Fremantle should win, but........
I am not sure Fremantle will make many changes, if any .But there would be some that after a couple of ordinary games to start the season, will be worried about their place in the team.
A warm, though not overly hot day forcast, 28c.
The  Docker selectors must be wishing hard for the return of  Hayden Young and Sean Darcy.
Both, at he moment are the missing links in my opinion.
Darcy is bbadly needed to be the number one ruck. He is vital to the Dockers success. He makes the game easier for the mids and on ballers.
Young is the hard at it tough smashing ball cleaerer that is need at stoppages.His run and penetrating ,raking left foot is need.
Fingers crossed for this weekend for me.

West Coast were much improved against Brisbane last Sunday. Not sure if they can back that up this weekened against the Dockers though. Dockers by plenty in this one.

There’s a lot more riding on this for Freo than the Eagles.  They’ve still got plenty of time to climb up the ladder, but they need to win this one.  Eagles main focus should be on improvement.  One thing’s for sure and I can’t see it happening, but if West Coast are still in the game at 3 quarter time, the Freo ring twitter will be louder than bear traps snapping.
