Carlton's Improvement Under Josh Fraser
Carlton Football Club has demonstrated notable progress in their performance under caretaker coach Josh Fraser, particularly in the last ten games. The team has achieved the fourth-highest disposal retention rate in the league at 72.8 percent, trailing only Fremantle, North Melbourne, and St Kilda.
The Blues have also ranked second for retention per kick and third for threat per kick, leading to an overall improvement in kicking efficiency, now placing fifth in the AFL. This marks a significant turnaround from the previous season when they had the second-worst kicking efficiency.
Key players such as Blake Acres and Harry McKay have shown marked improvements in their ball use, contributing to the team's success. With ten wins in twelve games under Fraser, Carlton is on track for a potential finals appearance, showcasing a new style of play that challenges their opponents.
