Carlton took on reigning champion West Coast Eagles at Princes Park and won by 23 points to maintain their hold on the top of the ladder.
Eagle champion Glen Jakovich would take the BOG by keeping Stephen Kernahan to just 2 possessions, but it was again an even spread of goal kicking and possessions across Fraser Brown, Andrew McKay and Brett Ratten, plus others, that kept the Blues ahead all match.
The Blues would lose both Kernahan (3 matches) and Williams (5 matches) to injuries from this match.
