Carlton’s coaching selection panel is meeting this week after narrowing the club’s senior coach search to four contenders. The contenders include interim coach Josh Fraser, who is one of the candidates being considered for the role following his interim appointment.

The selection panel’s meeting is described as a key step in determining the next head coach for one of the Australian Football League’s biggest roles. The outlets report that the process has progressed to the point where shortlisted candidates are being assessed closely before the club makes further decisions. While details about the other three assistants are not included in the provided summaries, all sources agree that the panel has selected a four-person shortlist and that the next stage involves deliberations this week. The articles frame the upcoming meeting as central to how Carlton will move toward its next permanent coaching appointment.
