CARLTON'S hopes of pushing into the AFL's top eight suffered a setback as Fremantle shook off the Blues in the final term to win Saturday night's clash by 36 points.
Fremantle slipped into the top four midway through round 19 following their 17.14 (116) to 12.8 (80) win over Carlton in front of a crowd of 30,457 at Etihad Stadium.
The Dockers led by eight, nine and 10 points at each change but flexed their muscles in the final term as they outscored Carlton five goals to one.
Fremantle's record now stands at 13-and-a-half wins from 18 games, while the Blues have slipped to 9-9.
Small forwards Michael Walters (four goals) and Hayden Ballantyne (three goals) were match-winners for
Fremantle while Walters' opponent Zach Tuohy kicked three goals for the Blues and Heath Scotland was busy across half-back.
Ballantyne provoked furious reactions from Carlton's defence, who ripped his jumper to shreds at one stage, while Ryan Crowley tagged Carlton skipper Marc Murphy out of the game with just 13 touches.
Nathan Fyfe, with 31 disposals and seven clearances, was a star for the Dockers.
Fremantle led by nine points at halftime, 7.5 (47) to 6.2 (38), after the Blues were forced to sub midfielder Andrew Carrazzo out early in the second term with a suspected leg injury.
The game's tempo went up a notch early in the third term when Tuohy kicked two fine goals on the run to put the Blues in front.
But the Dockers replied immediately with a devastating five-goal burst in 10 minutes to move 28 points clear.
Three late goals from the Blues, including one from Jeff Garlett after the siren, cut the margin to 10 points at three-quarter time after both sides scored five goals for the term.
