West Coast and Fremantle’s weekend’s couldn’t have been more different but both sides will have to refocus for round seven with the first western derby of 2021.

Veteran journalists Mark Readings and Glen Quartermain ran a ruler over the round and told Dockers and Eagles fans what to look out for in the build up to a derby that could hold finals ramifications.

Fremantle solidified their spot within the top eight after a 52-point thumping of bottom-of-the-table North Melbourne while the Eagles suffered a record loss under Adam Simpson, sent packing by Geelong by 97 points at GMHBA Stadium.
