Carlton appoints Josh Fraser as permanent senior coach

Carlton has appointed Josh Fraser senior coach for 2027 and beyond, the board's unanimous pick over assistants Jaymie Graham, Corey Enright and James Kelly. Fraser, 44, a former Magpies and Suns ruck, won 10 of 13 as caretaker to lift Carlton from 1-8 into the finals. CEO Graham Wright said Fraser's panel presentation alone would have secured the role.
