Interim Carlton coach Josh Fraser has stated he is not ready to take on the role of full-time head coach for the club, despite aspirations to lead an AFL team in the future. Fraser, who took over after Michael Voss's departure, emphasized his need for more experience before committing to a senior coaching position.
Fraser, a former ruckman for Collingwood and Gold Coast, has been serving as Carlton's interim coach. He acknowledged the challenges of the role but expressed confidence in his long-term development. The club is expected to conduct a thorough search for a permanent replacement.
Carlton's management has not yet announced a timeline for appointing a new coach, but Fraser's decision clarifies the immediate path forward. The team continues to focus on the remainder of the season under Fraser's interim leadership.
