They\u2019ve earned the right,\u201d Voss said. <\/p>\n \u201cAnd we need to get in behind them and support them. So we\u2019ve seen some really good examples of that.<\/p>\n \u201cClearly our depth of our list needs to get better, if you\u2019re talking about a bigger picture.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd we\u2019re going to see it through some of these guys. They\u2019ll take positions of older players and that\u2019s when you know you\u2019re really progressing as a footy team.<\/p>\n \u201cSo we\u2019re going to invest the time in that. We\u2019ve been investing it over the last few weeks and growing that out, but it takes a more particular focus over this last month.\u201d<\/p>\n One such player who looks set for a permanent role in the team next year and beyond is 20-year-old Cooper Lord who played a fantastic game on Saturday night against Gold Coast.<\/p>\n Lord registered 24 disposals (10 contested), 12 tackles and seven clearances while restricting Noah Anderson to 19 touches (seven) and three clearances, after the Suns captain had been averaging 31 disposals (13) and seven clearances this season.<\/p>\n \u201cVery mature young man. There\u2019s not a person that\u2019s not impressed by his attitude,\u201d Voss said of Lord.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s also no one that works harder on his game. He\u2019s under the armpit of \u2018Crippa\u2019 (Patrick Cripps) and (Sam) Walsh and (Adam) Cerra and he doesn\u2019t leave them alone because he\u2019s just developed that appetite to be curious.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd every time I talk to him, he\u2019s just enormously grateful for the opportunity that he gets, so I just asked him, \u2018Just please never lose that throughout your whole career as it becomes more serious for you. Just don\u2019t lose those attributes because it\u2019s just such a great attribute to be able to have\u2019. It\u2019s a pleasure to coach that young man.\u201d<\/p>\n Voss was also encouraged by the signs that young forward-ruck Hudson O\u2019Keeffe is showing.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s going to split a few (packs) over his time,\u201d Voss said.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just tough and he competes, and you love playing with people like that.\u201d<\/p>\n After trailing the Suns by eight goals in the third term at Marvel Stadium, the Blues erupted by kicking the next six majors to get within 13 points in the final quarter and give Gold Coast a big fright, before losing by 19 points.<\/p>\n Voss said his team would take confidence from their strong finish into the final fortnight of this season and into 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cFinishing off the game the way we did too it was just nice to feel the energy of that stadium and I guess those few moments of hope that we were coming pretty fast (and) still plenty of time on the clock,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re seeing the season out strong. That\u2019s what I said we\u2019d do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlton coach Michael Voss said his team had already begun the process of transitioning to its next iteration…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":56801,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[560],"tags":[638,64,63,689,55,639,46865,3239,44841,46866,46860,12090,6239,46859,46861,2485,3257,25844,677,701,1819,85,46863,46864,46862],"class_list":["post-56800","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-afl","tag-afl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-football-league","tag-australianfootballleague","tag-brendon-bolton","tag-carlton-blues","tag-conference-comments","tag-cooper","tag-final-fortnight","tag-final-quarter","tag-final-season","tag-footy-team","tag-fronts-media","tag-gold-coast","tag-michael-voss","tag-noah-anderson","tag-oceania","tag-queensland","tag-ronny-lerner","tag-sports","tag-wasting-time","tag-young-forward-ruck","tag-young-man"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56800","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56800"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56800\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/56801"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56800"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56800"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56800"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a>
