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.
Kemp responds for Blues
Jordan Clark gives away a free kick at half back.
Carlton chip over the top of Fremantle defenders who have now conceded the most marks inside 50 for the year.
Kemp sneaks it through before Harry McKay follows it up with a great mark and converts to make it 30 points!

That’s better from the Dockers
Cox in the ruck, Jackson inside 50 and Freo win the clearance and Brayshaw hits Jackson who takes a good contested mark and drills his first of the night after a couple early misses.

End of Q3 CAR 12.8 (80) FRE 8.10 (58)
Hard to see a way Fremantle can come back into this one.
They’ve just been a touch off the pace, and perhaps they just don’t want it enough with not much on the line.
Carlton have been superb with their ball movement and since the loss of Brennan Cox the Dockers defensive structure has come undone.
With ball in hand the Dockers have been too rigid and have been too one-speed, unable to switch the play with much urgency.
Cripps with a stunner
Josh Treacy had just kicked a nice goal for Freo but from the centre clearance Carlton win it again, making it 5-1 for the quarter, and they surge forward as Cripps on the run launches and lights up Marvel!
Evans has four!
Carlton were queuing up in their forward line as once again Fremantle are outhunted and forced into a turnover in their defensive 50 as Bailey Banfield misses the handball to Jordan Clark.
Evans bags his fourth.
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.

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)
