AFL: With the minor premiership already secured, Fremantle will take some fresh faces to face Carlton, who will be looking to test their mettle after a Josh Fraser rejuvenation.
The Dockers have rested Jye Amiss, Sam Switkowski and Heath Chapman for their final home and away clash, with Tobyn Murray to make his AFL debut while Bailey Banfield will play his first game of the season.
Judd McVee also returns while Josh Fraser will coach his first game as a full-time coach after his incredible interim stint secured the Blues a wildcard berth.
Follow all the action live.
Voss strikes back
The first time Fremantle have transitioned form end to end as Hayden Young spots Pat Voss leading back into the pocket.
From a tight angle, he splits the middle perfectly and lets the Carlton fans know about it as he tries to fire up the Dockers.
Hollands extends Blues' lead
Again Carlton just have the ability to handball their way through Fremantle’s defensive web and there’s always a player out the back waiting.
Oliver Hollands snaps a beauty before minutes later Jagga Smith off step launches from 45m out to add his first goal to 20 touches.
The lead is over 20 points.
CAR 10.7 (67) FRE 6.8 (44)
Half-time Carlton 8.7 (55) Fremantle 6.8 (44)
That quarter was all Carlton until the final two minutes.
The Blues should be further in front but missed some gettable chances meaing the margin is only 11 points.
However Fremantle need to sharpen up because they were exposed badly that quarter, particularly in transition.
Walsh had another nine touches that quarter to make his way to 18, while Jagga Smith has 17 touches and two clearances.
The Dockers will hope they can regroup in the break.
Frederick breaks the spell
For the first time in 35 minutes, Fremantle have a goal as Shai Bolton nearly takes a spectacular grab as Frederick roves the loose ball and snaps through a goal from the pocket.
A desperately needed settler as half-time approaches.
CAR 8.7 (55) FRE 6.8 (44)
Blues creep on Voss like a librarian!
Carlton can do no wrong, as even their shank kicks are landed on the chest of teammates.
Josh Treacy has been stuck in the defensive 50 trying to cover for Cox, but he can’t stem the tide.
The Dockers are in the shell as the Blues continue to pepper their forward 50.
Fremantle finally get out the back and Voss is running into an open goal sqaure but he trips and then three Carlton players bring him down in the goal square to the delight of the home fans.
Sums it up for Freo at the moment.
CAR 8.7 (55) FRE 5.6 (36)
Carlton are rolling
Brodie Kemp with a brilliant snap on the outside of the boot to give themsevles a 13-point lead.
That’s seven of the last eight goals. Carlton are just finding soo much space all over the ground with Fremantle unable to st up any structure.
CAR 7.6 (48) FRE 5.5 (35)
More on the Cox injury
Blues hit the front
Carlton get a bit lucky as Brodie Kemp is giving a very soft 50m penalty after Judd McVee touched the ball after the mark.
But the Blues have continued to be the better side this quarter as he puts Carlton in front for the first time today.
CAR 5.6 (36) FRE 5.3 (33)
Brennan Cox is out
The Dockers defender has ice on his claf and is done for the day. That’s a huge blow ahead of finals.
End of Q1 FRE 5.2 (32) CAR 4.5 (29)
The Dockers burst out of blocks with four straight goals but Carlton did well to steady and then hit back with four of the last five goals.
Sam Walsh and Jagga Smith combined for 18 touches in the first quarter, with the Blues having 32 more touches overall which shows how much the Blues controlled the game after the first five minutes.
In bad news for the Dockers Brennan Cox has limped off to the bench and looks in trouble.
