How would Carlton and Michael Voss approach a hypothetical board meeting right now?
There generally tends to be a scheduled board meeting at this stage of the season at most clubs where the coach presents the true state of the team and its prospects.
Publicly and privately, now is the time for the coach to get a grasp on where their team is at.
Former Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley, who experienced countless of these board meetings, knows Voss very well having spent seven years together at Alberton.
Hinkley was asked by Gerard Whateley what he would arm himself with if he were Voss and entering such a board meeting a quarter of the way through the final year of his contract.
Carlton's heavyweights caught up last week for a scheduled meeting to discuss the club's progress
CARLTON figures chief executive Graham Wright, football boss Chris Davies and coach Michael Voss met last week for a key internal meeting as pressure intensifies on Voss' future.
The scheduled meeting was part of a commitment between the three central figures to meet regularly during the season as the Blues embark on their 2026 campaign.
A range of topics are understood to have been broached as part of the discussion, including progress against KPIs and broader planning for the club's future, with Carlton's hierarchy maintaining a consistent position that they will make a decision on Voss' future later in the season.
A lot of hay and media attention has been made with the coaching future of Michael Voss. The current top man at the Carlton Football Club has been plagued with critics calling for his head, and unfortunately for Voss, his players aren’t giving him much of a defence.
The club he leads is currently submerged in the bottom four, a far cry from the finals that the team had set their sights on in previous years and with a clash against the old nemesis, Collingwood, looming, many are holding their breath as to what happens next.
The Board has ended up being Voss’ greatest defence, sticking by the beleaguered coach last year when it looked like almost a certainty that his time at the helm of his second club had come to an end. Instead of axing the coach, the Board went against its own fan base and publicly backed the coach. However, Voss’ performance hasn’t improved, prompting renewed calls from supporters to part ways with the coach, even this early in the season.
