Michael Voss has quit as Carlton coach following the Blues’ disastrous start to the AFL season.
Out-of-contract at season’s end, Voss has decided to move on with the Blues 1-8 and effectively already out of finals contention.
It means his last game in charge was against his former club the Brisbane Lions, with Carlton fighting hard in the second half for a respectable 11-point loss against the dual reigning premiers last Friday night.
Former Collingwood ruckman Josh Fraser is expected to be the club’s interim coach, having re-joined the Blues’ coaching staff ahead of the 2026 season.
Voss coached Carlton 99 times after being appointed for the 2022 season, leading the club to a preliminary final in 2023 – the club’s best result since making the 1999 grand final.
Carlton sit 16th on the ladder, only ahead of Richmond and Essendon, as they prepare to face the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
