Carlton coach's job 'absolutely' safe for Gather Round
Chris Davies says Carlton will keep Michael Voss in charge as the Blues battle a 1-3 start and repeated second-half collapses.
- On Saturday, Carlton football boss Chris Davies confirmed coach Michael Voss will remain in his post for the upcoming Gather Round clash against Adelaide, providing stability amid the club's challenging 1-3 start.
- Pressure mounted after the 96-86 defeat to North Melbourne on Friday, where the Blues surrendered a 22-point fourth-quarter lead, continuing a pattern of second-half fading leads throughout the past year.
- Over 60 per cent of Carlton's scores this season originate from stoppage—a league-high reliance—while vice-captain Jacob Weitering will miss the Adelaide match following a concussion sustained Friday night.
- Defender Nic Newman called Voss an "incredible leader," while former captain Sam Docherty urged patience: "I just don't think you can make a move on a coach at this time of the year."
- Club executives CEO Graham Wright and president Rob Priestley will assess Voss's future based on performance markers throughout the season, with the coach facing significant pressure before the mid-point of the year.
