Michael Voss has resigned as head coach of Carlton Football Club following a disappointing start to the 2023 AFL season, where the team recorded just 1 win and 8 losses. Voss's departure comes after a close match against his former club, the Brisbane Lions, where Carlton lost by 11 points. During his tenure, Voss coached the team for 99 matches, achieving a preliminary final in 2023, which was Carlton's best result since their 1999 grand final appearance. Currently, the Blues are languishing in 16th place on the ladder, just above Richmond and Essendon, as they prepare to face the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night. Former Collingwood player Josh Fraser is anticipated to step in as interim coach as the club looks to turn its fortunes around.
