Carlton Blues give interim coach Josh Fraser a week to apply for senior job

Interim coach Josh Fraser, who took over Carlton Blues after the dismissal of Michael Voss, has guided the team to an 8‑2 record and a return to finals relevance. Club football boss Chris Davies met with Fraser and urged him to "put his hand up" for the permanent senior coaching position.

The Blues have set a deadline of one week for Fraser to decide whether to enter the interview process, with a final decision expected by the end of the home‑and‑away season on August 23. Fraser indicated he is weighing the opportunity, noting the need to be ready to hit the ground running if selected.
