Fremantle booted 11 second half goals to score derby bragging rights while the Eagles' loss was soured further by a broken arm to Mark LeCras.

In scenes reminiscent of Friday night's clash in Adelaide, the Eagles shot out of the blocks with the first three goals before being pegged back late in the term.

Ashton Hams and Jamie Cripps were in fine form for the Eagles early before the Dockers started their surge, eventually running out winners 16.12.108 to 11.14.80.

Michael Barlow was in scintillating form for the Dockers with 27 possessions, while Matthew Priddis of the Eagles had a game-high 28, including 17 contested.

Michael Walters and Nick Suban booted three goals each while Danyle Pearce showed why Ross Lyon was keen on acquiring the veteran with two key goals that sparked the Dockers in the second half.

Matthew Pavlich had a quiet night in front of goal and will have to explain himself to the AFL after being cited for charging Will Schofield in the first half.

West Coast's night was made even more forgettable by a serious arm injury to Mark LeCras. The forward was playing his first home and away game since rupturing his ACL last season and early signs suggest a broken right arm.

Eric Mackenzie also limped off with a hamstring injury while for the Dockers, Pavlich suffered split webbing and Ballantyne is nursing a lower leg complaint.

Full report to come shortly.
