Carlton made it six wins on the trot in defeating West Coast by 53 points on Saturday at Marvel Stadium.

Aside from a third-quarter mini-wobble when the Eagles managed the first two goals, the Blues did it fairly easily, with the 17.15 (117) to 9.10 (64) result.

It's comfortably the Blues' highest score of the year, as well as their biggest win, while West Coast has been consigned to its 11th loss for the season.

Carlton burst out of the blocks in the first term, kicking the first three goals (through Harry McKay, Mitch Govern and George Hewett) and recording the opening five clearances as they set up the game-winning break nice and early in the piece.

All eyes were on Harley Reid and Patrick Cripps in the middle of the ground, the young buck v the old bull, and while they had plenty of skirmishes with slightly manic grins plastered on their faces throughout, it wasn't a head-to-head battle.

The Blues were finding space all over the field in the opening term, transitioning the footy with ease as Sam Walsh and Jagga Smith got busy; one particular chain ending up in a McGovern hanger on an unsuspecting Elliot Yeo, only for the forward's shot to drift right.

West Coast tried to work its way back into the game in the second term, evening up the contest around the stoppage and throttling the Blues' run and spread.

Brady Hough ran down Smith exiting 50, and Bo Allan kicked a superb spoil-and-burn effort, but it was 18-year-old Talor Byrne who countered both marks on the scoreboard, converting a second-term brace.

Carlton entered the third term 32 points ahead, while West Coast recorded 100 disposals fewer in an uncontested possession thumping, with Reid having done all he could with eight clearances in two quarters of footy.

West Coast's delivery into attack left much to be desired, with key forwards Jobe Shanahan, Jake Waterman and Willem Duursma battling against both the Carlton key backs and messy delivery. At one point in the third term, the Blues – led by Harry Dean and Lachie Cowan – had more marks in defensive 50 than the Eagles had in its own 50.

Eagles ruck Bailey Williams (34 hitouts, two goals) was excellent across all four quarters, while it was one of Blues recruit Ben Ainsworth's better games for his new club with 28 touches, five clearances and a goal.

George Hewett did well to limit Reid's influence around the ground, clearance count (12 and 23 disposals) aside.

Walsh led the Blues for 33 disposals, while Cripps finished with 31, to do alongside nine clearances.
