WEST Perth has overpowered East Perth to record a 31-point win in the Channel 9 WA Day Derby at HBF Arena to give the Falcons six wins on the trot.

The 11.9 (75) to 5.14 (44) victory is the sixth in succession for West Perth since a 60-point loss also to East Perth back in Round 5 at Medibank Stadium.

The Falcons have now beaten Swan Districts, Claremont, Peel Thunder, Subiaco, Perth and East Perth since that loss to have improved from a 1-4 record to be only percentage off bottom spot to now be 7-4 and only percentage from third, and one game and percentage from first.

West Perth continued their very good run of form with an impressive thirty one point victory against East Perth at HBF Arena on Monday. The result was in complete contrast to the ten goal defeat suffered earlier in the year and highlights the significance of the return of senior players and the development of the younger brigade. The strong attack on the football that has become a feature of the Falcon game plan was once again a key factor in the victory.

WEST Perth has the chance to win a sixth straight match and to sit three games clear inside the WAFL's top five with a win over arch-rivals East Perth in the Channel 9 WA Day Derby at HBF Arena on Monday.

West Perth and East Perth enter the WA Day Derby at HBF Arena in vastly contrasting form but history shows form counts for little in traditional derby clashes and the Royals will be hoping to prove that true once more.

The Falcons had a slow start to the 2016 season winning one of their first five games but they have now got some key players back from injury and the wins have come as a result.

WEST Perth premiership coach Bill Monaghan discusses Saturday's win over Perth that was the fifth in-a-row for the Falcons and looks ahead to the Channel 9 WA Day Derby this Monday against East Perth at HBF Arena.

QUESTION: Saturday's performance probably wasn’t the greatest and you might not have been happy with quite a bit of it, but it was another important four points to rack up?
ANSWER: To Perth's credit I thought they were fantastic through the midfield, they ran really hard and ran hard off half-back. They weren’t a pushover by any means but it didn’t feel as though we played with the same intensity or defensive effort as we had over the last month or so. I was a little disappointed with that but for the players to work through that and come away with a four-goal win in the end was still a reasonably good performance, but we were a long way off where we need to be at.

IT was a real struggle all day but West Perth eventually wore down Perth to record an important 26-point victory at Lathlain Park on Saturday.

The game was played in pleasant conditions in contrast to a number of previous Saturdays. There were periods of good football with both sides moving the ball quickly but they found it difficult to take advantage and  there were long periods without a goal being scored.

WEST Perth continued its winning form both this season and over Perth, beating the Demons for an eighth straight time while the 26-point victory over Lathlain Park was also a fifth in succession for the Falcons.

West Perth continues to build some strong momentum following a slow start to the season and has now beaten Swan Districts, Claremont, Peel Thunder, Subiaco and Perth over the past five weeks heading into the WA Day clash with East Perth at HBF Arena next Monday.

The Falcons have also improved to a 6-4 record on the season to be two games clear in fifth position of the Royals while also only percentage behind the third placed Peel.

WEST Perth hasn’t lost to Perth since 2011, hasn’t lost at Lathlain Park since 2004 and is now on a four-game winning streak heading into Saturday's Round 11 clash with Perth.

West Perth heads to Lathlain Park in fifth position on the WAFL ladder following four strong wins over Swan Districts, Claremont, Peel Thunder and Subiaco. The Falcons have dramatically improved from a tough position at 1-4 to now be 5-4 and have plenty of momentum.

On top of that, West Perth has dominated Perth over the past decade. Perth's last win at Lathlain Park over West Perth came back in Round 9, 2004. Since then the Falcons have won 10 of the 11 matches only intersected by a draw in 2008.

Those 10 wins for West Perth at Lathlain Park have come at an average of 37 points.

WEST Perth has won four straight WAFL matches and it has coincided with midfielders Shane Nelson and Dean Munns being in the line-up both playing very different yet equally important roles for the Falcons.

Both Nelson and Munns have been part of the West Perth victories over Swan Districts, Claremont, Peel Thunder and Subiaco to improve to a 5-4 record and into fifth position on the WAFL ladder heading into Saturday's clash with Perth at Lathlain Park.

Nelson is averaging 32.3 disposals in those four games and Munns just 9.8 but that doesn’t begin to describe the impact that both have had in helping to turn the Falcons form around.

WEST Perth premiership coach Bill Monaghan discusses Saturday's win over Subiaco at Medibank Stadium that gives the Falcons a fourth straight WAFL victory ahead of a clash with Perth at Lathlain Park this Saturday.

QUESTION: The conditions were tough on Saturday and it's always hard playing Subiaco, but to dominate the last 45 minutes like you did must have been pleasing?
ANSWER: Our form's been pretty good leading up to this game so we were confident that we would put in a good showing. The weather conditions probably made me a little nervous because those conditions probably play to Subi's strength with their contested ball, clearance work and bigger bodies. I was a little nervous going into the game, albeit we were well prepared and the players have been working really hard on the track and on game day to right the ship. It was a really good performance across four quarters and when we were challenged we stepped up. I don’t think we had any noticeable passengers, I think it was close to a four-quarter performance by 22 players so we were buoyed by that effort.
