Fremantle v Carlton Highlights | Round 17, 2023 | AFL

Carlton is threatening to make a late charge at September after a Sunday slaughter of Fremantle at Optus Stadium, climbing to 11th on the ladder with a comprehensive 53-point win.

They dominated the disappointing Dockers from the opening bounce and showcased all of their weapons in a 14.14 (98) to 6.9 (45) win that leaves the 14th-placed Freo with a mountain to climb if it wants to play finals after one win in its past five weeks.

Matthew Kennedy extremely underrated midfielder.

Cerra and Serong are valuable assets to these clubs rarely talked about

Give Carlton a pat on the back, it’s tough to beat Freo when their at home, but the blues just showed who wants to make finals! I think they still have some belief Carlton, but Freo just aren’t clicking like they were last year. Great game tho! Carlton needed that.

Who is this Blues team? Their defensive pressure was outstanding!! Everything clicked. Front, middle, back, it was an all-round performance. I don't know if their system has finally come together, or they've made changes because of the flack they copped, but they were excellent. Crippa is back. Cerra had a game (and been doing so for weeks). This lineup is working. They also did it without one of their key rucks. I don't know if they can make the 8, but they are looking dangerous.

Gee Cerra has to be a chance to get in the all Australian this year

Good sportsmanship by Carlton usually players rub it into other players but they took the win and had the sportsmanship to go straight over to the freo players and say good job 🤍💙

[WesleyAbramoff]

Very disappointing result, but well played Carlton.

How do you beat Melbourne in Melbourne and play Carlton at home and show nothing

[gm]

Everyone is saying we are going to get a reality check next week, but if we take it up to port adelaide and dont just get blown away then i might have some hope of us beating the st kildas or the melbournes of the competition

[ishowbeans]

Well I was at the game and the funny thing was but disappointing as a Carlton fan, is that the song didn’t play until like 30 secs after the game

[vigour]

Freo were once the top rated defensive team in the comp but now that it’s gone they been exposed in the mid and forward of the ball. Their defensive pressure was non existent in this game and I’m not sure if it was an effort issue or a coaching issue.

[jonm]

I';;m say Blues are back when they beat Port next week, it's great to see them coming good again, lets hope they can keep it up, they should beat the Eagles the following week easily and get good percentage bonus.

stop tipping us ya flogs that's when we love to loose

[BadgerFromOz]

This is almost like last year's West Coast v Carlton match. Carlton keep the home side goalless for two separate quarters. The slow starts are continuing to plague Fremantle and this is just the second of what is likely to transpire into a six-game losing streak, considering they have a tough run too. They couldn't take advantage of what should've been an easy start to the season until their four-game winning streak. And now, they are more than paying the price for it. In the next week or two, I'm going to be saying "f*** you, Longmuir", because his team is NOT destined for Finals this year. As for Carlton, three consecutive weeks of high scores keeps them in the Finals hunt. So they need a f***ton of results to go their way.
