Overview
- Carlton told interim coach Josh Fraser on Thursday that it wants him to be part of the formal selection process and gave him roughly a week to decide whether to put his hand up.
- Fraser led a marked on-field turnaround with an eight‑wins two‑loss run after replacing Michael Voss and had previously publicly ruled himself out of the full-time role.
- Fraser now says he is weighing the offer and is considering what the senior job would demand before committing to the process.
- The club is continuing a wider recruitment search that media reports say includes Jaymie Graham, Corey Enright and James Kelly as understood candidates.
- Carlton’s football manager Chris Davies says the club expects to name a permanent coach by the end of the home-and-away season on August 23 or by late August and that the final choice will shape the club’s playing group and short-term recruiting plans.
