Overview

• The Blues sit 10th on the AFL ladder with six wins from 14 games, leaving them two victories outside the finals spots.
• Saturday’s 11-point loss to North Melbourne intensified scrutiny on Michael Voss’s tenure, with high-profile voices calling for change.
• AFL icon Lance Franklin predicted that Voss may not finish the season if messaging and performance do not improve.
• Graham Wright, set to become CEO later this year, has launched a review of Carlton’s football operations that will determine the coach’s future and potential staff adjustments.
• Club backer Bruce Mathieson warned of a lack of elite players under 25 and called for a rebuild, while captain Patrick Cripps defended Voss and urged players to take ownership ahead of their trip to Port Adelaide.
