Fremantle has held a desperate West Coast at bay and maintained its dominant RAC Derby record with an eight-point win to open the season at Fremantle Oval on Sunday.

Freo made it six from six against their crosstown rivals in a hard-fought, physical clash, keeping the Eagles to just one inside 50 in an imposing final term to win 4.3 (27) to 2.7 (19) and launch a new era under Lisa Webb.

The Eagles launched a challenge playing the better football through the third quarter and cutting the margin to just two points as they looked to gain a foothold in a growing rivalry.

West Coast youngster Ella Roberts won the RAC Derby Medal in a losing cause, starting forward and moving into the midfield to finish with a game-high 24 disposals and five clearances.

Fremantle's weight of opportunities proved the difference however, winning the inside 50 count 38-22 and applying ferocious forward pressure to lock the ball in their half for long periods.

Gabby O'Sullivan (14 tackles) and Ange Stannett (nine) were outstanding on that front, while defender Laura Pugh (19 disposals and five rebounds) was a rock in defence. In a low-scoring game, Aine Tighe's two goals proved critical. 

West Coast made a competitive start as it looked to break its RAC Derby duck, with the pre-game withdrawal of Fremantle star and four-time RAC Derby medallist Kiara Bowers due to knee soreness providing a boost for the underdogs.

The pressure applied from both teams resulted in a scrappy opening and few clean attacking chances, with Tighe booting the only goal of the opening quarter while the Freo defenders did a good job intercepting at the other end.

The second quarter opened up somewhat, despite heavy rain falling in Fremantle for a brief period, with Ebony Antonio crumbing in attack to extend the Freo's lead.

Roberts grew in prominence for the Eagles and worked up the ground, but the Eagles couldn't convert their opportunities and had kicked six behinds from their 15 forward entries as half time approached.

A nine-point deficit was manageable, but Tighe's ability to dribble through a skilful goal with only a handful of seconds left in the half gave Fremantle the momentum and a 15-point lead at the main break.

It took a pair of former Fremantle Dockers to get the Eagles on the board, with Kellie Gibson and then Amy Franklin, who crossed to enemy lines in the off-season, booting back-to-back goals to cut the margin to two points late in the third.

A goal for Freo's late inclusion Makaela Tuhakaraina at the end of the third kept the Eagles at bay, and proved crucial in a low-scoring finish to the game.

Bowers loss doesn't impact tackle game
Fremantle set a new club record for tackles despite the late withdrawal of pressure specialist Kiara Bowers. Freo laid a massive 98 tackles in a highly contested and sometimes wet game, with the Eagles rising to the challenge and laying 88 of their own. There is a sense that the WA rivalry is growing fast in the AFLW and it was obvious in the way the game was played.  

Up next
Fremantle head off on their first road trip of 2023 in round two, heading to Victoria Park to face Collingwood on Sunday at 11.05 AWST.
