Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 22 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs St. Kilda at Marvel

Also far from an ringing endorsement for Fraser as our next senior coach.
While he doesn’t believe the win was a lesson in coaching from interim Fraser, Simpson did concede that everything the Blues have been working on – even prior to Fraser’s tenure – was on show in full effect on Saturday night.
“I’m not sure it’s a masterclass, but everything they tried worked,” he said.
“Sometimes it’s just playing your way. A lot of the things Carlton have done really well in the last 10 weeks; they were working on in November and December.
“That’s the beauty of the transition that Josh made. He didn’t tweak a lot of things, but they evolved really quickly.
Which has been the argument all along.
I've never said Voss is a supercoach. Just give him some time to do what he needs to do. Fraser is riding on his coattails, and not doing a thing wrong, and doing plenty right. But people attributing all the success to Fraser and none to Voss is a recipe for disaster.
Look at the bigger picture as to what has changed since Vossys departure.
2 things....quality of opposition has been poorer.
Improvement from our captain (and its not just him, but obvious when looking at him) has made a huge difference.
I don't want to restart the debate. The article is nothing new to me, and some others, however all the voss haters/fraser boosters continue to ignore that and argue against it. Its dishonest and/or naive.
