WEST Perth kept its WAFL finals hopes alive with a hard-earned yet less than spectacular 13-point win over East Fremantle at HBF Arena on Saturday.   West Perth had to overcome a goalless first quarter and a one-goal first half with East Fremantle leading by as much as 24 points at HBF Arena on Saturday, but with the Falcons' season on the line they found a way to win.   On the back of some impressive football in the third quarter where West Perth kicked five goals to no score, it was enough to set up the crucial 8.15 (63) to 7.8 (50) victory.
