West Coast squared the ledger at 2-2 for the season with a solid win over Fremantle in the first Derby of the season. The Eagles broke the game open in the third quarter to lead by 31 points before a surge by Fremantle saw the scores level at the final change. West Coast saw off the challenge with a big final quarter.
