There have been over four decades of matches between the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers in the battle for Perth, with many tight games that resonate with West Australians to this day.
West Coast are ahead in the ledger, with 33 wins out from 61 meetings against Fremantle. However, Fremantle's Paul Hasleby and Caleb Serong have won the Glendinning-Allan medal the most, at four times each.
Here's my ranking of the 10 most exciting games between the clubs in the lead-up to their 62nd meeting today at Optus Stadium.
7. Round 6, 2018
West Coast defeated 13.11 (89) defeated Fremantle 12.9 (81)
In what would be one of the statement games that defined their premiership year, the Eagles clawed back after being 20 points down in the first term. Lachie Neale and Nat Fyfe were stars for Fremantle, but Andrew Gaff had other plans with his 33 disposals and 4 clearances, helping Lewis Jetta and Jack Darling register three goals each in the win.
