West Coast's pre-season got off to the worst possible start, dealt a thrashing by Fremantle behind closed doors at Lathlain while losing Elliot Yeo, Dom Sheed and Campbell Chesser to ankle injuries early in the match, deepening the club's injury crisis just weeks out from the season-opener. The Eagles kicked the first goal through Jake Waterman but gave up the next eight as Fremantle cut them to ribbons.
