Ex-Carlton coach Voss gives assessment of Blues' finals hopes
Almost four months after his exit from Carlton, Michael Voss speaks about the Blues' chances in the finals following their stunning turnaround.
Former Carlton coach Michael Voss offered his evaluation of the Blues' prospects in the finals, acknowledging the team's equal form in the competition. However, Voss expressed skepticism about the Blues securing an AFL premiership this season, emphasizing the challenges they face. The Blues are set to face the Cats in an elimination final at the MCG on Friday night, following a series of impressive wins under interim head coach Josh Fraser.
Since taking over in May, Fraser has led the Blues to a remarkable 11 consecutive wins, including a crucial victory over Melbourne. Despite the optimistic chants from Carlton fans, Voss cautioned that a championship win may be beyond the Blues in the current season. He acknowledged the high level of football displayed by the Blues, but highlighted the significance of the remaining matches in determining their ultimate fate.
Voss praised the leadership and performance of captains Patrick Cripps and the team, noting that their efforts have contributed to the team's turnaround. The Blues' strong performance in contested areas, particularly their ability to capitalize on post-stoppage opportunities, was highlighted as a key factor in their potential success against Geelong in the elimination final.
