Carlton have made their first big move after backing in coach Michael Voss, choosing to part ways with football boss Brad Lloyd after seven years in the job.

Lloyd will remain at the Blues until the end of the home-and-away season, which he was keen to do, a club source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to this masthead.

Carlton elected to keep Voss as coach in a marathon board meeting last week, but there are expected to be other changes at the club beyond Lloyd’s position, including potentially Voss’ assistant coaching staff and the recruiting team.

The Blues could look to lure a rival football manager to be Lloyd’s replacement, such as Brisbane’s Danny Daly, who Lions coach Chris Fagan has also suggested should be considered for the Demons’ vacant coaching job.

Another option may be outgoing Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley, who Voss worked under as an assistant at the Power from 2015-21 and has a long-standing relationship with.

The incoming Tasmania Devils are also keen to employ Hinkley – likely in a football department role – but he has various offers from AFL clubs and has already ruled out being a contender for Melbourne, saying last week he would not decide on his future until at least Christmas.

Lloyd, who was previously Fremantle’s list manager, was appointed at Carlton in August 2018, and has worked alongside Voss and former senior coaches Brendon Bolton and David Teague.

He retains a strong reputation in the AFL industry, but Carlton are looking for some fresh ideas under new chief executive Graham Wright, who has been in constant dialogue with key figures at the club in recent times.

Wright will speak to reporters at Ikon Park on Tuesday morning.
