Overview

• Graham Wright will officially assume the CEO role on August 15, months earlier than planned, to support football operations through the remaining matches.
• Robert Priestley declined to guarantee Michael Voss’s position in 2026 despite his contract, vowing a full evaluation of his 2025 performance once the season concludes.
• Wright brings premiership-winning experience from Hawthorn and Collingwood and will immediately work with Carlton’s football department to address on-field struggles.
• Carlton’s 6–9 record has seen the Blues fall out of finals contention and intensified scrutiny on football director Brad Lloyd and list manager Nick Austin.
• Graffiti at Ikon Park demanding the board’s sacking and backing Voss underlines growing fan frustration and the club’s urgent need for unified accountability.
