The 41st Western Derby takes on place on Sunday when rivals West Coast and Fremantle face-off on Sunday.
Fremantle will go into this one as favourites following its big win over fellow premiership-contenders Geelong in round two, but there’s no doubt the Eagles will pose a significant challenge.
The Dockers have won the last five derbies, but they’ve all been close fought games and you suspect Sunday will be no different.
West Coast go into the match on the back of a big win over Carlton and will be backing themselves to get one over its rivals.
The Nic Naitanui v Aaron Sandilands battle in the ruck will certainly be one to keep an eye on and could potentially turn the game for either side.
So, who will earn the bragging rights in WA?
Make sure you tune in to find out!
