From 1-8 to September: Carlton's revival under Josh Fraser rolls into week two of finals

Carlton sat 1-8 when Michael Voss was sacked. Interim coach Josh Fraser has won 12 of 15 since, guiding the 10th-placed Blues past Melbourne in the AFL wildcard final before 91,733 at the MCG on 29 August 2026. Carlton now face sixth-placed Geelong in an elimination final at the MCG on Friday night. Season still alive.
