Fraser confirms intentions for Carlton coaching job after hot streak

Carlton's interim coach Josh Fraser has expressed his desire to permanently take the reins of the club, a significant shift from his initial stance. Fraser, who stepped into the role after Michael Voss's mid-season departure, has led the team to a remarkable 10 wins in 12 games. This impressive run has transformed Carlton's season, propelling them into finals contention.

Fraser, 44, had previously stated he was not interested in pursuing the full-time coaching position. However, his recent success has apparently swayed his decision. He is now among five candidates vying for the job, including Jaymie Graham, Corey Enright, James Kelly, and Daniel Giansiracusa. Fraser's turnaround coincides with Carlton's dramatic improvement, having gone from one win and eight losses under Voss to a strong position on the ladder.

Carlton's football boss, Chris Davies, had publicly encouraged Fraser to apply for the role two weeks prior. Since then, Fraser has overseen dominant victories, including a 76-point thrashing of Brisbane and a 44-point win against St Kilda. The team now sits 10th, two wins clear of 11th place with two rounds remaining, setting up a potential wildcard finals appearance.

We think he should put his hand up.
