Best Bet
West Coast should put up enough of a fight to cover here.
The Eagles have lost eight of the last nine derbies through their long rebuild but despite how bad they have been, only two of those losses have been by more than this line. Derby games carry a different kind of intensity and West Coast have shown they can stay competitive on this big stage.
The Eagles get significant reinforcements with Elliot Yeo and Jamie Cripps both returning. West Coast have looked far more competitive with Yeo in the midfield and his absence has been the defining factor in their recent poor results.
Fremantle regain Hayden Young but lose Sean Darcy, which takes some shine off what would have been a big advantage in the ruck.
With the underdog has covering the line in 10 of the last 12 Fremantle games, back West Coast to stay within the margin.
Same Game Multi
Jake Waterman loves a derby, kicking eight goals in his last two appearances against Fremantle. Jye Amiss also lifts in this match-up, with seven goals across his last two derbies.
Matt Johnson has had 17 or more touches in nine straight games at Optus Stadium.
Value Bet
Amiss has eight goals in his last three games including four against Adelaide two weeks ago. He has kicked 3.2 and 4.1 in his last two derbies and bagged four back in 2023. West Coast have struggled to contain key forwards this year and Amiss looks the better value of the Freo forwards to cash in.
