Fremantle senior coach Justin Longmuir has lauded the efforts of his players in the Dockers' impressive Derby victory over West Coast on Sunday amidst mounting pressure on the group after their winless start.

"I'm really happy with how we played and really proud of how we have responded to the last two weeks," Longmuir said post-game.

"We've had a lot of pressure on us, understandable given our performance against Geelong, but we've stuck firm to our process.

"Our focus has been improving our footy and I thought we stepped forward with that [against West Coast]."

Fremantle held off the early intensity from the Eagles, pulling away in the second half for a comfortable 38-point victory. It was helped by debutant Isaiah Dudley's blistering two-goal first quarter, which Longmuir suggested sparked momentum in Fremantle's favour.

"He got us up and going I reckon early, a bit of excitement, him kicking his first goal and two in the first quarter," Longmuir said.

"He's a special talent, he's got some forward craft and he shows really good composure."

Caleb Serong was unmissable on the field, his match-high 35 disposals and 10 clearances proving to be too much to handle for an inexperienced Eagles side, which earned him a fourth Glendinning-Allan Medal at just 24 years old.

As excitement around the purple haze begins to mount again, Longmuir expressed how Serong's intensity during the week translates to his elite game-day performances.

"He's one of the most consistent players in the AFL, and that's because he's one of the most consistent players between games in the AFL," Longmuir said.

"One of the younger players went up to him during the week and said, 'Geez, you were angry in that handball game'.

"That's what he does. He trains at a high level, prepares at a high level, and plays at a high level. He's a great role model."

Superstar Andrew Brayshaw proved the worth of his six-year contract extension that he inked in early March with a similar dominant display in the midfield on Sunday.

His 29 disposals, six clearances and seven tackles earned him six best-on-ground votes, one less than Serong.

"All our senior players played well, but I thought the younger guys played really well as well and played their role and all had their moments," Longmuir said of his midfield group.

The Dockers' run at home wraps up next week with a challenge, facing the Western Bulldogs on Sunday, April 6 at Optus Stadium.
