Overview

• Free agent Tom De Koning will reach 100 games against Essendon on Thursday in what is expected to be his final appearance for Carlton before a reported seven-year move to St Kilda worth about $1.7 million per season.
• Michael Voss said he has received no indication of De Koning’s decision and pointed to the playing group’s bonds as Carlton’s main pull to keep him.
• Voss identified off-season needs for more speed, cleaner ball use on the edges and greater depth after injuries exposed the list during a miss‑finals campaign.
• St Kilda strengthened its position by re-signing Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera for two years after interest from Port Adelaide and Adelaide.
• Football boss Brad Lloyd will depart at season’s end as Graham Wright backs Voss through 2026 and prepares decisions on assistant coaches, with Jack Silvagni also flagged as a possible departure.
