Carlton Blues defeated West Coast Eagles 65-points in Perth, securing 8th spot in the AFL.

Carlton Blues claimed a vital 65-point AFL victory over West Coast Eagles in Perth, with captain Patrick Cripps playing a crucial role in the team's win. Despite a week of injury setbacks, Carlton's "unorthodox" forward line, including Brodie Kemp as a sole target, helped secure the 14.15 (99) to 4.10 (34) victory. This win places Carlton above Fremantle into eighth spot, and with a win against St Kilda next Sunday, the team can secure finals action for a second consecutive season. West Coast coach Jarrad Schofield expressed disappointment in his side's performance, stating they "didn't really turn up."
