JOSH Fraser will take charge of Carlton as interim coach for the first time when the Blues meet the Western Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night.
Carlton (1-8) produced an all too familiar tale of two halves last week though this time gave Brisbane a headstart before piling on six straight goals either side of the last change in a gallant defeat.

The Blues' eighth consecutive loss was enough for Michael Voss as he resigned this week, with the new coach aiming to get the side to build on their strong periods and compete for closer to four quarters.
Western Bulldogs (5-4) hung on for a much-needed victory in a thriller against Yartapuulti but were unable to avoid again adding to its list of sidelined players with ruck Tim English placed in concussion protocols.

NO LATE CHANGES
The banged-up Dogs might be waiting for the cavalry to return but will be wary of a newly inspired Blues outfit in what is suddenly more of a danger game.
Jack Ison will make his debut for the Blues as Adam Saad goes out with a hamstring injury, while the Dogs regain Rory Lobb, Louis Emmett and Sam Davidson in place of Tim English (concussion) and the omitted Harvey Gallagher and Lachie Smith.
