EAST Fremantle put together a dominant day at home against West Perth to open Round 4 of the WAFL on Saturday while East Perth got its first win on the board with a win over Peel Thunder.

East Fremantle was coming off a bye and won all three grades over West Perth at ATOM Stadium by a combined 170 points with the league side running out 14.17 (101) to 7.9 (51) winners.

And at Bendigo Bank Stadium, East Perth hit back from three straight losses to by kicking four of the last five goals to beat Peel Thunder 15.14 (104) to 11.8 (74).

The round began with the early starting game on Saturday at ATOM Stadium and the Sharks got off to a flying start against the Falcons with the advantage of the breeze in the first quarter.

East Fremantle kicked the opening six goals of the game and despite West Perth's efforts to try and mount a fight back in the second and third quarters, the Sharks added another four goals to nil in the last term to win by 50 points.

East Fremantle found plenty of avenues to goal with Brett Peake kicking three goals, Tim Bristow two, Matthew Watson two and James Bristow two.

The Sharks' midfield was completely dominant and once again the Falcons' were well beaten in the possession count.

Liam Anthony racked up 34 disposals for East Fremantle, Sean Henson 28, Cameron Eardley 25, Dion Anthony 24, Tim Bristow 23, George Hampson 23, Jack Perham 22, Ryan Lester-Smith 22 and Andrew Stokes 13 to go with 19 hit outs and a goal.

West Perth didn’t have a multiple goal scorer with Steven Browne gathering 29 possessions, Aaron Black 28, Rohan Kerr 26, Trent Manzone 23 and Tyler Keitel 18. Seva Mozhaev finished with 39 hit outs.

East Perth headed to Mandurah to face Peel in a rematch of last year's first semi-final desperate to win after losing the opening three games of 2016.

That didn’t start well with Peel leading by 14 points at time-on of the first quarter, but East Perth was able to steady and hold a three-point lead by half-time.

That had stretched to 17 points shortly before three quarter-time and despite two early last quarter goals to Jack Hannath and Matt Taberner that kept Peel in touch, East Perth finished the better.

Two last quarter goals to Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls and then a roving goal by big man Jonathan Giles to his ruck partner Paul Johnson was enough to see the Royals run away 30-point winners.

Corey Adamson had the best game of his career with East Perth with the ex-baseballer playing most of the game in the midfield and delivering 24 possessions and three goals.

First-year West Coast draftee Matthew Allen also kicked three goals while Oakley-Nicholls and Patrick McGinnity booted two.

McGinnity was a strong contributor in the midfield as well for the Royals with 25 possessions with Kane Lucas gathering 29 disposals, Craig Wulff 23, Julian Ameduri 22, Steven Payne 21, David Roche 20, Brant Colledge 20 and Tom Cole 19.

Tom Barrass did well down back limiting the impact of Peel big men Jack Hannath and Jonathon Griffin when they were forward, while Kyle Anderson had a good battle with Matt Taberner.

Despite the loss, there was a host of strong performers for Peel and none better than Anthony Morabito playing his first game since Round 23, 2014. Coming off half-back, he was terrific with 23 possessions, six marks and four inside 50s.

Hayden Crozier was outstanding in the midfield with 30 possessions, eight tackles and three goals while Griffin was the best ruckman in the game with 36 hit outs, 11 disposals and seven marks.

Taberner kicked three goals for Peel as well with Brayden Lawler and Gerald Ugle booting two apiece.
