Carlton and Michael Voss Finally Cut Cord Amid Season From Hell
The Blues will turn to Josh Fraser after a 1-8 start and repeated second-half fadeouts pushed Voss to step aside, reports said.
- On Tuesday, Carlton coach Michael Voss resigned effective immediately, with assistant Josh Fraser named interim coach for the remainder of the 2026 season.
- Repeated second-half fade-outs plagued the team throughout a disastrous 1-8 start, leaving Voss with a five-year record of 47 wins and 51 losses from 99 games.
- Following an AFL-mandated $75,000 fine over the decision to play Elijah Hollands during a Round 6 mental health episode, the league now requires all clubs to employ full-time psychologists.
- Staff were officially informed at a 10 am meeting today, and Fraser will lead the team against the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
- The 50-year-old Voss, a former Brisbane Lions champion, was in the final year of his contract; his tenure included a 2023 preliminary final appearance, though the team failed to recapture that peak.
