Zito Brushless Home and Garden Power Tools are built to work. Do it with Zito. Do you. And save 5K at the Ranger Bi-Turbo Runout. Now on at participating Ford dealers. You're listening to Crunch Time.
Anzac Day footy ahead. It starts in Launceston. It's the early start, so it's a truncated crunch time before we relocate to the MCG for Essendon and Collingwood. Crunch time is brought to you by Ford. Don't miss the Ford Ranger by Turbo Runouts and Azito. Azito brushless power tools built to work. Azito do you. The hot seat.
Oh, there's a few nominations for the hot seat this week for Razorback 4x4 Australia's best four-wheel drive seat covers with unbeatable protection and comforts. Carlton is obviously on the hot seat and has been for more than a week now. The contrast from the coach's press conference to the chief executive's press conference. They needed somebody to step forth and man the fort.
And while Carlton might only be lukewarm on the future of Michael Voss, Michael Voss committed wholeheartedly to defending Carlton. And I think they owe him a debt of gratitude for that. I agree.
The jury's out whether he's the right coach for this club, but he is certainly the right leader for this club. And he showed that leadership at his media conference. And I disagree with the criticism of him. Yes, I don't necessarily think that... Now, I'll rephrase that.
I disagree with the criticism of him because he's entitled to defend his football club however he sees fit to rally the people at that football club, the players, the coaches, the staff. And I know that the people inside that footy club loved what he said. And at a time of trauma... at a time of great unrest at Icon Park, that's exactly what was required, Simo.
Well, I know what's going on to a certain degree in terms of the cultural piece. And he's leading better now than he did in 2023. So this leadership space, that's not... I don't think anyone's debating that because his ability, obviously premiership captain and the way he led his team up there, he's happy to take bullets for anyone.
And speaking to some of the coaches around, it's like they can't believe what he's doing. When he turns up, because you've got to hit the top of the door, and you've got to go, all right, it's not about me today, and you've got to get on with it. I think Chris Davies was unavailable for that particular press conference, he had to get back to Adelaide.
Because that would be normally a footy manager type of press conference, because you've got to spend a lot of time. You've got training planning, match committee, you're dropping people, you're trying to get everything right, how to beat Freeman, and then you've got to carry yourself through this. So that takes a lot of...

Chapter 2: How is Carlton addressing the fallout from the Elijaah Hollands saga?
I think that Alistair Clarkson spoke about this the other day with Kingy and Kane. The difference between care and process and those lines are getting blurred. And there must be some frustration about we don't want to talk about this because it's a very deeply personal matter. So we're not going to talk about it. Therefore, all we can do is defend to the point where it's different.
It's the care piece versus the process piece. Maybe the process needs to be looked at, but that would be industry-wide, not this particular moment. And Clark always mentions something that made me think a little bit because I'm too close to it to go to the ā minute detail of what is it like on game day when there's a situation happening that you're unaware of?
And I'm thinking, maybe I would have seen that if I was coaching. And then I'm, I didn't see it commentating. And Clarko is living in the world right now. I said, sometimes you just miss these things when you're right into the winning of the game, especially the senior coach. So
Not there to defend anything other than the fact it's the care process versus the ā it's the care versus process, Gerard, which I ā my ears pricked when I heard that. Yeah.
So I thought Voss landed that extremely well. It was hard to land bullying, but it rallied the troops. He was there to defend his footy club, and now they go on trial with the AFL. So I thought he was able to land that. And I thought he landed the ā it is ā this is a broader conversation, is the rush to judgment.
Yeah.
there's a lot to take in. Graham Wright missed this on the Sunday.

Chapter 3: What leadership qualities did Michael Voss demonstrate during the press conference?
He didn't give any of the context around the care that they had provided for Elijah Hollins across a number of years, and he didn't defend the staff. And that left the vacuum from Sunday to Thursday. And Carlton has to own that.
It was a very poor press conference, and then they hemorrhaged up until Michael Voss took the stand, and now they're at the mercy of the AFL having provided their response. And that process, which... I hope runs in a more suitable manner than the Petrarca process. When does it get resolved?
Chapter 4: What criticisms has Michael Voss faced and how does he respond?
Well, the AFL wanted it resolved this week. It's a long way towards doing so because Carlton have given their findings and their review to the league. So then the league will determine what sanction, if any... Do you know how the process works?
When you get reviewed by the AFL, do you have to... Are you doing interviews with someone as an integrity officer? How's it worked?
I think the AFL, Gerard, will be aligning what they believe to be the truth behind the scenes based on their own investigation with what Carlton says it is and whether that all marries up. Okay. Yeah, I think that's what's important. And I think... It's easy for me to say this based on there's no reason to think there's a smoking gun.
There's no reason to think that there is gross negligence to the point of a $500,000 fine or a soft cap penalty that would cripple the club.
I've said for the last week, I think the most likely scenario is a sanction of some sort that doesn't cripple the club, but more importantly, a framework that's put in place that doesn't take two years like the Petrarca situation so that if this sort of thing happens again, a club can deal with it in a better way.
Yeah, the process of game day evaluation is interesting because you do your wellness screening, you do your urine test, you do your weight, you do all these things in a screening process when you get to the... Well, that's what we did. So I'm only assuming they've gone through all those things.
And I don't know what happened, but maybe, my guess maybe, is the fact they might have gone through this before and worked through it. And this time... it didn't work out the same way. So that's the only thing I could think may have happened.
That's the hot seeds for Razorback 4x4 premium seat covers. More of the news of the week and particularly surrounding the Tribunal and the Appeals Board next before we turn our eyes to Anzac Day footy. Signet is the travel partner of Crunch Time, safe, powered 24-7 with Signet AFL Club Powerbanks.
