Interim Carlton coach Josh Fraser has challenged the Blues to make their stirring win over the Western Bulldogs a habit.

Just four days after Michael Voss departed the club, Carlton ended a seven-game losing run with a scintillating final-quarter charge to win 10.14 (74) to 9.8 (62).

Consistently being blown away in second halves when they had winning positions ultimately cost Voss his job, but Carlton flipped the script with five unanswered goals on Saturday night after they trailed at three-quarter-time.

It was the Blues' first win since round one, and their first over the Bulldogs in four years.

"Really proud of how we were able to galvanise quickly as a group," said Fraser, who has already declared himself not ready to become a full-time senior AFL coach.

"Our challenge will be to make that habit.

"We've got so much growth in front of us.

"What we produced tonight, we haven't proven to be consistent yet, so we've got to double down on what that looks like now.

"Whether emotion played a part tonight, I'm not sure, that's our challenge to make sure it becomes habit and part of our game.

"We've had a reasonably tough time of it lately.

"The events of this week impacted a lot of people, particularly the playing group, who were so connected to Vossy and had so much admiration for him.

"For us to regroup and galvanise and perform the way we did, it's a big step forward for the club."

Fraser paid tribute to captain Patrick Cripps, who was instrumental in Carlton's last-quarter onslaught.

Cripps had 13 disposals and five clearances in the final 30 minutes, finishing the match with 29 and eight.

The dual Brownlow medallist also kicked two of Carlton's five goals during the first three quarters to comfortably be the most influential player on the ground.

He had 29 disposals, eight clearances and two goals, with 13 disposals and five clearances coming in the final term as the Blues overran the Dogs by 12 points.

"It's tough … especially as a captain, leadership group, senior player," Cripps said.

Talking of Voss, he added: "You have a huge amount of respect for your senior coach, not going to lie, I was flat, just because I respect him so highly.

"What I'm proud of the boys is the energy we created throughout the week.

"We felt the emotion of it.

"Everyone felt it different ways.

"But then when we came in to train the next day, we got back to work."

Carlton (2-8) travel for a clash with Port Adelaide next Saturday night.
