AFL 2025: Carlton make Michael Voss call after marathon Blues board meeting
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. The future of Carlton coach Michael Voss remains uncertain, with a call on his 2026 status not made at a marathon five-hour board meeting. Voss remains in the job for now with only one top Blues figure commenting on Wednesday night. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Vice-president Patty Kinnersly, asked by Seven whether it was an important day for Voss' future, said: 'Every day is important for a football coach.' The coach left club HQ around 5:30pm AEST with the meeting completed around 7:30pm. Michael Voss leaves Ikon Park while the board meet. Picture: Glenn McFarlane It held extra stakes for Voss in the aftermath of Melbourne's sacking of Simon Goodwin. Part of the Demons' reasoning for axing their premiership coach on Tuesday was to get to market and ensure they can complete the hiring process before the off-season. And footy insiders believe the Blues could yet be pushed into making an early call on Voss, who's now viewed as the most under-pressure coach in the AFL. Seven's Mitch Cleary declared from Ikon Park on Wednesday evening Voss' future is 'well and truly on a knife's edge, despite holding a contract for next year'. Voss has a 44-42-1 record as Carlton coach but after 2023's miracle run to a preliminary final, the Blues have failed to record a September win despite premiership aspirations, and will not play finals in 2025. Goodwin presented to Melbourne's board at a meeting last week, which then decided to fire him a week later. And while it's been expected the Blues will wait to make a call until new chief executive Graham Wright takes over on August 15, the Demons' position in the market could force the club's hand. The club also has major decisions to make regarding football boss Brad Lloyd, whose future is uncertain, and their assistant coaching panel.

Urgent call to end gender-based violence in schools
Anti-violence advocates are calling for greater investment in respectful relationships education to address serious gender-based violence in schools. Our Watch, a leading organisation in the prevention of violence against women, has released a blueprint to prevent gender-based violence through education systems. Based on more than a decade of research, the blueprint found 40 per cent of 16 to 17-year-olds had experienced sexual harassment in a place of study. Almost one in four young women aged 18 to 24 had experienced image-based abuse, and girls were twice as likely as boys to feel pressured or blackmailed into sexting. Our Watch is calling on federal and state governments to urgently prioritise and fund a "whole-of-school" approach to respectful relationships education instead of one-off programs or a few classroom lessons. Yarrunga Primary School in Wangaratta, Victoria, implemented respectful relationships education in 2019 and started tracking behavioural issues. This included swearing, teasing, physical aggression and sexualised or inappropriate comments. "Over a year with the same set of students, we saw a nearly 50 per cent decrease in these anti-social behaviours - from 114 incidents to 61," acting principal Michael Jenkins said. "I think one of the really powerful things respectful relationships education does is that it builds emotional literacy and emotional intelligence in young people. "The reality is that we are teaching young people how to be good young people in the world, and respectful relationships education is a key part of that." The Our Watch blueprint had arrived at a crucial moment for Australian students and teachers facing alarming rates of gendered violence, CEO Patty Kinnersly said. "It is deeply concerning that nearly every week there is a new incident in the school environment, whether that be young men sharing deep fake porn of young women they know, or female teachers leaving the industry because they fear for their safety," she said. "Young people are increasingly exposed to harmful messaging about sex and relationships and report wanting more information and support." Our Watch launched The Line to help young people find answers to questions about consent, dating, sex and relationships. Ending violence against women would take a whole of community approach and needed to include young people, Ms Kinnersly said. "We need to offer young people clear guidance on healthy relationships, consent and the limitations of gender stereotypes," she said. "It is a big piece of work and it requires the whole-of-school approach that takes long-term commitment, leadership and ongoing funding." 1800 RESPECT (1800 737 732) Lifeline 13 11 14 Men's Referral Service 1300 766 491
