Carlton and the Dockers kick off a big Saturday of football, with all four games having an impact on the shape of the top 10.

Melbourne and the Bulldogs face off at the MCG, with the Demons still hoping for a top-four finish.
Then tonight Geelong hopes to lock in a top-six spot as the Cats host Richmond at Kardinia Park, and the Crows take on the Giants at Adelaide Oval with Matthew Nicks' men still a chance of avoiding a wildcard elimination match next week.

A note regarding Sydney
As the weekend of footy continues, we'd just like to advise that while we will post stories in the blog relating to updates on the Sydney Swans and the ongoing investigation, we will not be posting any comments relating to the team or the situation.
Bolton makes it two goals in two minutes
Shai Bolton unloads a wonderful set shot from right on the 50m arc and the Dockers are out to an early 12-point lead!
The Blues have been getting the jump on teams since Fraser took over, but the Dockers are showing they're not just any other team.
Freo has two goals from two inside 50 entries.
McDonald gets the Dockers up and running early
They're just a well-oiled machine this Freo side!
Oscar McDonald is in the Jye Amiss spot with Amiss rested this afternoon, and he leads out just like dead-eye Jye and takes a mark 25m out from goal.
McDonald makes no mistake on the set shot.
The ladder leaders are off and running.
