The Fremantle Dockers dismantled the West Coast Eagles on Sunday afternoon. The final scoreboard read 14.13 (97) to 5.11 (41). Fremantle completely controlled Western Derby 62 at Optus Stadium. The 56-point victory proves they own the local rivalry.
Jye Amiss was the driving force behind the blowout. The young forward kicked a career-high five goals from 13 disposals. He constantly outmaneuvered the Eagles’ defense all afternoon. Amiss pulled down nine marks inside the 50-meter arc. That specific number is monumental. It officially broke the longstanding club record previously held by Fremantle legend Matthew Pavlich. The Dockers are now sitting on a massive 5-1 season record.
Jordan Clark took home the Glendinning-Allan Medal as the best player on the ground. Clark tore through the midfield. He racked up 27 disposals and 11 marks. His 622 meters gained completely suffocated any momentum West Coast tried to build out of their backline. The Eagles simply had no answer for Fremantle’s relentless transition play.
Fremantle has now won nine of the last ten western derbies. The Eagles still hold the all-time historic lead at 33–29. But that historical buffer means nothing right now. The Dockers are executing at a championship level in modern sports. This 5-1 start pushes them directly into the second spot on the AFL ladder right behind the Sydney Swans. Fremantle’s forward line finally has a historic focal point in Amiss. His ability to isolate defenders and secure marks inside 50 completely changes how opposing coaches have to structure their backlines for the rest of 2026.
