Where and when: Optus Stadium, Sunday June 30, 3.20pm AWST
What it means for Fremantle: A chance to steady the ship and maintain a top-eight spot after losing to Melbourne while adjusting the forward line without talls Jesse Hogan (foot), Rory Lobb (foot) and Matt Taberner (foot).
What it means for Carlton: The Blues have been super competitive in David Teague’s two games in charge, beating the Lions and just falling to the Dogs, and will want to continue on that path when they resume from the bye.
The stat: The Dockers have dominated Carlton since 2013, winning six of the past seven by an average margin of 34 points.
The match-up: Joel Hamling v Charlie Curnow
Hamling has the size, smarts and athleticism to go with Curnow wherever he roams and he will need to be on his game to keep the emerging Blues star in check. Curnow will be brimming with confidence after bagging seven goals before the bye against the Dogs. He’s the ninth-best key forward in the game, according to the Official AFL Player Ratings, while Hamling ranks 15th among tall defenders.
It’s a big week for: Brennan Cox
With no Hogan, Lobb or Taberner it’s likely Cam McCarthy will be brought back in from the cold but Cox will be relied upon as the spearhead. He has booted four goals in seven games this year playing a mixture of forward and back.
Father Dougal’s Tip: Dockers by 30 points.

Go Fyfe you big sexy man beast and that hot to trot man bun!
Carrying my team on his shoulders this week against an army who have gone with Big Maxy… Could be worth a triple double with Maxy on 9 at half time!
I hope you’re right mate. I forewent a few after Danger. Pleeease don’t let me/us down! 🙂
Did exactly the thing my friend
NO LATE CHANGES
FINAL INTERCHANGES
Fremantle: Reece Conca, Ethan Hughes, Brett Bewley, Bailey Banfield
Carlton: Jack Silvagni, Sam Petrevski-Seton, Matthew Kennedy, Nic Newman
Need to choose someone to cover for Cripps:
TU: Take Hind’s 58
TD: Field Setterfield
I don’t think you’d be losing much by gambling in Setterfield.
Teague just said “yeah, we’re starting with a tag today”. Bad news for Fyfe, hopefully he can shake it.
only tagger the blues have is Curnow good luck trying to stop fyfe
curnow off injured
Wrong Curnow.
Charlie Curnow may just have done his right knee. Straight to the rooms. Update to follow …
might be medial
Cripps is needed in Carlton
Fremantle by Cripps SC average
finals with brizzy & Nth would be interesting
Ed Curnow on Fyfe but doesnt appear to be an issue for the great man.
65 already Fyfe
Had the c on fyfe till switching to gawn ten mins before brisbane game….thought I’d kick myself if the highest pts scorer turned in another 150.
Aaaah well…it could be worse…………
…no it couldn’t
@ least you got 50 from Gawn
i got 25 from Danger a few weeks ago
So is carlton gettinf thrash
UPDATE: C Curnow. Minor medial. End of his day likely but good news for his and the Blues fans.
Is it possible that cripps, gawn, danger all miss next week ?
Shhhh, Wighty!
think we need to start preparing ourselves just in case….no point in any of the teams playing those three, all for different reasons
cripps & gawn could miss 3 each
Wouldn’t mind. Be a great opportunity to make a heap of ground with pretty good cover
fyfe’s gna go massive today
I had gawn c in my ten leagues…no doubt some oppts will have fyfe. fancy having to suffer this and wake up tomorrow…and its Monday !!
Is Fyfe’s score inflated? I can’t see his efficiency but I wouldn’t say it’s amazing
73%
scored 0 pts btw 10 & 2 mins to go in that Q
was contemplating Simpson @ 380k this week
but 18 pts @ 1/2 time , glad i didn’t
maybe he’s ready for the pension check
FFS – should have left the C on Fyfe … go with the VC they said … Fyfe on 104 at HT … typical …
sometimes the more capt choices you got , the harder it is to get right
Apologies mate. But I’d have taken Grundy too.
At least Fyfe will play late every week. Looking like there are a few cheeky VC options emerging for the remainder. We just need to hit them!
Hey macca , under the circumstances you made right call., still touch and go in our match as i swapped clarke score for bewleys 18% de !!!
nah lads – final decision is always with me – no matter what is posted on the threads … had to make the call to “go for it” or play it safe … sometimes you just gotta take a risk …

i’m so over the scoring system … Fyfe just jumped from 118 to 131 in one minute without getting any clean possessions or making tackles etc …
probably making up for the freeze in scoring in the 2nd Q
Fyfe as C trying to single handedly save my scoring in this game.
Logue & Ryan lingering around the 40-50 point mark 1/2 through the 3rd
Anyone tagging Fyfe? the guy is a legend in SCT
Why is Brennan Cox in the league

Umpires working hard for Carlton
newman huge last Q
I’ve been saying it for years…Cripps is just holding the Blues back, as evidenced by this game. The sooner he’s offloaded to the Bombers the better ; )
YES!
Didn’t tip that! Great finish. Well done Blues!

Would love a champion data analysis for Fyfe’s last 45 minutes of this game. Not a single point with plenty of possessions. Not as dominant as his first half but still bs
silvagni owned him
Hardly. Won the last two clearances when a goal would’ve won it for them. Seems v harsh (from someone who had the C on him), but I guess that’s what happens when you don’t win the game?!?
Are you there macca, tight finish, only in 2 leagues both very close so took a punt on bewley beating clarkes score, cost me 22 points , won the other one by 1 point, down to you by 10 . Nevermind that is the chances we take.
heya Bruce – yeah mate, back here now – went out to Carl Jr’s with the missus to get some dinner … just posted in the chat box to you for the league – hard luck mate, you had me cold at HT with the way Fyfe was playing … but yeah, Bewley had a shocker and Silvani put the brakes on Fyfe – I think scaling to Murphy also took some points away from Fyfe’s final score … bloody bad luck mate – was a good call taking Fyfe … and especially changing your C from Gawn to him!!
If I hadn’t checked the SC scores in some mad frenzy every two minutes and had simply watched the game instead, I’d be happy with 140+.
But to score sub-40 in the second-half is simply not right!?!
Thanks to Salamander’s brilliant Scoring Anomalies Review last week it’ll be a lot easier to analyse. Will make the time to do it tomorrow.
In a similar vein allsaints I reckon bont was marked hard for the rest of the game after a massive first qtr.
there is a significant problem with the scoring system in the way it is adjudicated … they score too hard too early, then keep scaling back and adjusting as the game goes on. …It’s BS.
They should simply have no total points to be allocated for a match and just allocate ‘genuine’ (always fickle in many cases!) for what is genuinely earnt … no total scores for whole match and no scaling rubbish … it would be much more accurate and fair, to all.
On another note i checked scores on gameday and had lost both games then there was an update and i had won one by a point. Swings and roundabouts.
lockouts over …
17th! No more kitchen utensils for us!
NOOOOO!!!! MY PRECIOUS!!!!
😀
Does this mean I’m not fired?
Yes.
