WITH the completion of the Club’s coaching panel, Michael Voss has informed members that he and the team will be “getting to work” in the lead-up to pre-season’s commencement. 

There’s over a month remaining until the training block commences on Monday 22 November, but Voss said there’s a clear focus leading into a new era at IKON Park.

Putting complete faith in his new coaching panel, Voss said the acquisition of Hansen to complement Aaron Hamill and Tim Clarke - as well as the returning Luke Power (Head of Development) and Daniel O’Keefe - was a significant one for the football club.

“I could not be more excited to get to work with this group of coaches to set our players up for a pre-season that will focus on three things: hard work, high standards and building connection with not only each other but the entire club — including you, our members,” Voss wrote. 

“You won’t see us getting caught up in expectations, what has happened in the past or what may happen in the future — our focus is, and will, remain on the now.”

Keeping consistent with his message when he stepped into the role just under a fortnight ago, Voss said a key theme this pre-season would be an establishing the responsibility that comes with pulling on the Navy Blue jumper.

“I want to let you know that the responsibility of representing your football club is not lost on us,” he said.

“We want to represent the Carlton Football Club the right way, and make you as proud to wear the Navy Blue as we will be. 

“We’ll challenge each other as we build something special together, based off our actions and an uncompromising appetite to compete.”
