Josh Fraser says he's more focused on guiding Carlton through their growing pains rather than scratching his coaching itch after watching the Blues dismantle West Coast by 53 points at Marvel Stadium.

Carlton notched their sixth win in a row under Fraser's watch on Saturday, with Patrick Cripps (31 disposals, nine clearances, one goal) and Sam Walsh (33 disposals, five clearances) producing big midfield displays in the 17.15 (117) to 9.10 (64) triumph in front of 41,861 fans.

Since being handed the interim coaching role following the exit of Michael Voss on May 11, Fraser has consistently said he is not interested in taking on the head role on a permanent basis.

But with the Blues now sitting at 7-8 and shaping as a hot chance to make the new wildcard finals round, Fraser looms as a hard man to dislodge.

The Blues dominated a host of the key stats on Saturday, with the likes of Harry McKay (three goals), Talor Byrne (three), Mitch McGovern (two), George Hewett (two) and Francis Evans (two) cashing in.

Carlton midfielder Jagga Smith racked up 23 disposals, nine clearances and a goal in a big boost to his Rising Star hopes, with his main contender Willem Duursma restricted to 12 possessions and one goal.

As expected, Fraser was again peppered with questions about whether he had changed his mind and would throw his hat into the ring for the permanent Carlton coaching role.

"Not a bigger itch," Fraser replied when asked if his itch to coach full-time had grown.

"I've had the ambitions for a long time, and ... you never quite know when you're ready.

"So this is giving me quite a unique opportunity to learn and grow in the chair, and it is an interim role, I'm acutely aware of that.

"But really my focus is on making sure the club's better placed at the end of the season.

"I just said to the boys, if I summarise where we're at, I think we're still going through some growing pains, and we're doing it getting results, but there's still parts of our game we've got to get to work on."

Harley Reid finished with a game-high 12 clearances from his 23 disposals, but the Eagles dearly missed Tim Kelly (hamstring).

Young ruckman Copper Duff-Tytler couldn't finish the match because of a tight calf.

The Blues tallied a whopping 244 possessions to 144 in the first half, while they had 13 marks inside 50m to none for West Coast.

The stats were also ugly at the end of the game.

Carlton had 144 more disposals than the Eagles, won the contested possession count by 28, dominated the clearances 48-34, took 133 marks to 66 for the game, and raked in 20 inside-50m marks to West Coast's paltry four.

Carlton will be aiming for their seventh win on the trot when they take on struggling Richmond next week, while West Coast (4-11) will lick their wounds ahead of Friday night's clash with Adelaide in Perth.

"We definitely weren't at the same level we've been for eight weeks, which was disappointing," Eagles coach Andrew McQualter said.

"Anytime a team has 120 uncontested marks against you, you're going to struggle."
