Carlton fans chant 'we want Fraser', talks on coaching future imminent

Interim Carlton coach Josh Fraser has led the club to a 10th win in 12 matches, defeating St Kilda on Sunday. Fans at Docklands Stadium have been chanting for Fraser to become the full-time coach, though he has not yet formally expressed his interest. The Blues lead the competition with eight points, and they will face the Western Bulldogs and Fremantle in their final two games.

Fraser's success has been credited to his influence and the players' willingness to support him. He has expressed no intention to formally nominate for the head coach role while focusing on leading the team.
