Key forward Josh Kennedy imposed himself on the RAC Derby in the opening quarter and was an irresistible presence thereafter.

The dual Coleman medallist kicked the opening goal of the match after a strong contested mark and was a constant menace to the Fremantle defence on his way to winning his third best-on-ground medal in these local clashes.

He won two Glendinning Medals in 2016 and 2017 at Subiaco Oval and now has a Glendinning-Allan Medal to his collection after Ben Allan’s name was added to the award for the second RAC Derby at Optus Stadium in 2018.

Celebrating his 250^th AFL game – 228 of them with West Coast and 22 with Carlton – he was an imposing presence as he kicked 4.4 from an 11-possession and six mark performance.

The under-sized Dockers defence had no answer to him in the air as he produced another display that was pivotal to the Eagles notching up a record 10^th successive derby victory.
