Michael Voss

How did we get here?

So the dialogue between Chris Davies, the footy boss at Carlton, and Graeme Wright and Michael Voss has been very open all season.

They've been talking on a weekly basis, having meetings, so that if and when the time came that Voss needed to be sacked or that he decided to resign, nothing would come as a shock to either party.

So there's a mutual breakup and there's a mutual breakup.

I mean, let's be honest.

If Vos got offered another year on his deal, he would have said yes.

So he knew he wasn't going on again.

This was determined finally last week.

He coached against Brisbane knowing that would be his last game as senior coach of Carlton.

And then it was revealed this morning that it's been public and he will...

speak to the players this afternoon in person.

He was at St Haven gym this morning doing weights when it broke that he will be, he's resigning as coach.

So, you know, there's mutual decisions and there's mutual decisions.

I think in the end, this is one that both parties are relatively content with given the situation the club finds itself in.

Players had no knowledge that was going to be his last game?

Not even Patrick Cripps.

No, players had no knowledge as far as I can tell.

It was very tightly held and that's the way it's played out.

Full play out for the rest of the year?

Yeah, it's only five, what is it, five, six months.
