After the break, Carlton seized full control and their weight of inside-50 numbers won out when Curnow earned a free kick close to goal and put them in front. As a result, Carlton smashed second-placed Fremantle in contested possessions, clearances and inside-50s to seal one of their finest wins of the season. The Blues were without a plethora of first-choice defenders and reduced to using Lewis Young and youngster Brodie Kemp in key posts.

Alex Pearce was one of the better defenders in the league before injury, and this season he has gone a long way to re-establishing himself again. More than all of that, he has developed a killer instinct when the chance to score beckons, and he hit the scoreboard in this one. He still loves to run, bounce and sink the slipper into it as hard as he can, but he doesn’t look as though he feels like he has to. This is EXACTLY what you want from a wingman, and with 17 of his 19 touches coming uncontested, it is evident that he has finally adapted to AFL pace and worked his way into a role that suits his skills. Nat Fyfe appeared to be in the thick of the action when he put his hand on one of the umpires and gave him a gentle little push. Schultz finished with 1.1 for the game but was unable to do what Curnow did at the other end and make his chances count when they presented. He just puts others to shame with his ability to make contest after contest and his supreme balance and ability to read the bounce of the footy make him a weapon that is almost impossible to stop. Whilst I loved the game of Will Brodie – in and under and relentless in his own way – when you get the chance to watch the game back, check out the last five minutes. You cannot have one rule for one and one for another, so how the league goes about handling this will answer two questions for us. Weitering is not that far away, and when he gets back into this mix, it takes the heat off Young and the others. Darcy has two years and – if we believe the official AFL stats – nine kilograms on TDK. It looks to me like a good 15 kgs, but you know… He would have been hoping for a similar result, and early on, it appeared as though Logue had the upper hand.

But they had little to show for their third-quarter dominance, with the Blues instead nudging their lead out to 20. Curnow plunged a dagger into Fremantle’s heart when he crumbed out the back to extend the lead to 26 points five minutes into the final term and the Blues held sway from there. Carlton have belied their decimated defence to charge past Fremantle by 31 points and remain firmly in the hunt for the AFL top four.

It was a great showing by the Blues, who got pumped by six goals in their first meeting in round five. A mid-field arm-wrestle broke out in the third term before the Blues kicked away in the final. Just a week after an ordinary showing against the Tigers, Carlton trailed by nine points at the first break, before putting together a 5.2 to 1.2 second term to lead by 15 points at the main break.
