Carlton’s management has earned praise for their unwavering support of coach Michael Voss and the players amidst their recent success. Voss was on the brink of being fired earlier in the season when the team suffered eight losses in nine games. However, the Blues have turned their season around with six consecutive wins, placing them seventh on the ladder.
Insights from Matthew Lloyd, Essendon great and brother of Carlton’s head of football Brad Lloyd, shed light on the club’s perspective during the tumultuous period. Despite external criticism, the team felt an unprecedented level of internal support from club president Luke Sayers and CEO Brian Cook.
Jimmy Bartel, Geelong legend, attested to the stability that Cook brings to a football club. Having played his entire career under Cook’s leadership at Geelong, Bartel emphasized Cook’s ability to remain composed in times of crisis and to see strategic plans through.
Damian Barrett, a veteran AFL columnist, highlighted the importance of “hard conversations” between players and coaches in Carlton’s recent resurgence. Voss has openly admitted to feeling exceptionally supported during this turnaround. These crucial discussions have involved challenging both players and coaches alike, contributing to the team’s success.
As Carlton prepares to face the fifth-placed Saints, their aim is to continue their winning streak and solidify their position in the finals. This match holds significant implications for both teams.
