Brodie Grunty talks about it with Dean Cox.

Have you got a bit of a newfound relationship with Josh Fraser now that the two rucks can wax lyrical on the ruck work?

Hey Mark, if Chris Davies and Graham Wright came to you and asked for your opinion as a senior player whether Josh Fraser should be the full-time coach next year, what would you say?

Impressed with the research, Steve, you've done on the family.

8.8.

Humdinger.

I just want to talk about Josh Fraser.

This is two weeks apart.

He was asked post-game about the coaching job full-time next year.

I just want to get your take on whether there's a little bit of a softening on Josh Fraser maybe opening his eyes to the full-time gig at Carlton.

The Sunday Rub's Stevie Johnson is adept at cutting to the truth.

Now it's his time to turn the knife.

If you take away the results, it's my belief that what Josh Carr's had this year, obviously he's had no Connor Rosey and obviously the cloud of butters over his head as well.

He's a top three coach of 2026 of mine.

With what he's been able to do with this list, the ability to bounce back and how he's set them up.

Top three.

Who are the other two?

Well, I think Dean Cox would probably be number one and Justin Longmuir would be the other one.

But I can make a case for what Josh Carr has done with the system and style that he's building for this football club is that the fact that they're down the bottom, we saw those five close losses, they could be so far up the ladder and the percentage tells you that 101, which puts them ahead of five teams in front of them.

I thought that was out of line from James because he confirmed that he met with Sheedy and Paul Little four kilometres away from the funeral.
