Carlton Blues interim coach Josh Fraser faces decision

Entities: Josh Fraser · Australian Football League · Chris Davies · Carlton Blues

Overview

Interim coach Josh Fraser has continued the Carlton Blues’ surge, guiding the team to eight wins from ten matches and holding tenth place on the AFL ladder, keeping the club in wildcard contention. After initially ruling himself out of a permanent appointment, Fraser now says he will consider his future as the season approaches its final month. The club’s selection panel remains focused on untested assistants – former Geelong players Corey Enright and James Kelly, and Fremantle assistant Jaymie Graham – while chief executive Graham Wright will also weigh Fraser’s continuance. In late July the club gave Fraser a one‑week deadline to submit an application for the senior coaching role, with a final decision expected by the end of the home‑and‑away season on 23 August. Fraser has indicated he is weighing the opportunity and acknowledges the need to be ready to hit the ground running if selected. The Blues’ next challenge remains a match against St Kilda, a fixture that could further shape their wildcard ambitions.
