IN-FORM Fremantle continues its charge for a finals spot when it welcomes Carlton to Optus Stadium.

The Dockers are one of the form teams in the competition after winning nine of their past 10 games.

DOCKERS v BLUES Follow it LIVE

Freo had few issues brushing aside rival West Coast in the derby last week as gun midfielder Hayden Young claimed the Glendinning-Allan Medal.

After a much-needed win over Melbourne, the Blues were comfortably beaten by Hawthorn last week to sit at 7-12.

The Dockers will go in unchanged against a Carlton side missing senior stars Charlie Curnow and Adam Cerra, who are both out with knee problems, and the retired Sam Docherty. 

Lewis Young, Francis Evans and Flynn Young are the ins for the trip west.
