For a club that had endured another catastrophic fadeout, life was remarkably composed in Carlton’s dressing room deep in the bowels of Marvel Stadium on Friday night.

President Rob Priestley had a quiet chat in the corner with chief executive Graham Wright, before heading over to the players’ families.

Voss was also remarkably composed and resolute, talking of “perspective” in his post-match press conference, despite this stinging 10-point defeat – a 32-point, final-quarter turnaround, prompting more questions publicly about his future.

“[It’s] a hard one, [a] really hard one to take, because six, seven minutes out from the finish, you still feel like you’re in ... a really, really good position in the game,” Voss said.
