‘Rearview mirror’: Voss speaks on Blues revival
Michael Voss says Carlton’s 11-win surge under Josh Fraser gives the Blues a chance to keep their finals run going, but the premiership remains a long shot.
- On Friday, Carlton faces an elimination final against Geelong at the MCG, riding momentum from coach Josh Fraser's turnaround that produced 11 wins in 14 games since May.
- Former coach Michael Voss stepped down after a 1-8 start in May, prompting Carlton to appoint Fraser, a former Collingwood ruckman who has engineered a remarkable revival from the bottom of the ladder.
- Voss noted the Blues are "enormously durable now," crediting performance boss Dan James for the team's fitness levels and praising their contested football style as an advantage against Geelong.
- On Monday at an AFL promotion, Voss described Carlton as the "equal-form team of the competition," emphasizing the players' transition to a "player-led group" with "more numbers coming with them."
- Voss believes a drought-breaking premiership is likely beyond the Blues this year, noting they face three more sudden-death matches just to reach the grand final—a path he called "a tough gig.
