A goalless second quarter by East Fremantle was the difference maker in a nail-biting victory for the Perth Demons. Oliver McManus continued his hot start to the year for the Sharks with 29 disposals and seven tackles, with Tom Grylls (25 disposals, 12 tackles) also standing out on the stats sheet. Jaxon Graham was the home sides only multiple goal scorer with two.

Peel Thunder 6.9 (45) def. by West Perth 13.11 (89)

A maiden victory in 2025 eludes the Thunder for yet another week, going down to the in-form Falcons.
