Carlton Coach Plans for Team Improvement Ahead of 2027

Carlton coach Josh Fraser is looking to strengthen the team's roster by adding depth to the midfield and key position players as they prepare for the 2027 season.

The Blues' season ended with a loss to Geelong at the MCG, marking a significant turnaround from an earlier 1-8 record and a coaching change in May. Fraser acknowledged the Cats' superior experience and highlighted the need for improvement in specific areas during the off-season.

Fraser emphasized a comprehensive approach to roster development, considering both current players and potential new additions. The club is reportedly interested in free agents Buku Khamis, Joel Amartey, and Jesse Hogan, as well as young player Calsher Dear. While praising the team's progress this season, Fraser noted that further development is necessary for both the players and the overall system.
