Carlton’s interim coach Josh Fraser says he will not pursue the club’s top coaching role. The reports note that Fraser is stepping aside from consideration despite his role as caretaker. The decision comes in the context of the club’s recent history: Carlton’s last interim coach, David Teague, later secured the senior position after leading the team through 11 games in 2019. According to the accounts, Teague won six of those 11 matches before being appointed to the full-time job. Fraser’s statement indicates that, unlike Teague’s path, he is not interested in being put forward for the permanent role at this stage. The three outlets agree on the key points: Fraser is the current interim coach, he has publicly ruled out putting himself forward, and the comparison to Teague’s earlier transition to the senior job is used to illustrate the different outcome.
