Josh Fraser Weighs Options as Interim Coach of AFL's Carlton

Interim coach Josh Fraser has guided the Carlton Blues to eight wins from ten games, positioning the team tenth on the ladder and in contention for a wildcard spot. After initially ruling himself out of the permanent role, Fraser said he will now consider his future as the club approaches the final month of the season. The club’s panel is expected to favour an untested assistant, with former Geelong players Corey Enright and James Kelly, as well as Fremantle assistant Jaymie Graham, mentioned as candidates. Chief executive Graham Wright will also weigh whether Fraser should stay on if he wishes to continue. Fraser acknowledged the need to reflect on his gaps and growth, stating, “At some point I will have to consider where I am as a coach.” The Blues' next challenge is an upcoming match against St Kilda, which could affect their wildcard ambitions.
