THE DAY of change has continued at Carlton, with list manager Nick Austin stepping aside on Tuesday afternoon.

Austin's departure follows Michael Voss' resignation as senior coach and will ensure yet more wholesale change within the Blues' football department.

It leaves Carlton without both a list boss and a recruiting manager just weeks out from the upcoming mid-season draft, after Mick Agresta departed the club on the eve of the season.

Football boss Chris Davies is set to assume list management duties following Austin's departure.

Austin arrived at Ikon Park ahead of the 2020 season and oversaw trades for the likes of Adam Saad, Adam Cerra and Ben Ainsworth while putting the Blues in a position to land top three picks Jagga Smith and Harry Dean across recent seasons.

But it was the trade he brokered for Charlie Curnow to get to Sydney last year in exchange for three first-round picks and Will Hayward that was his most significant move during his tenure at Ikon Park.

Carlton confirmed Austin's departure on Tuesday night, saying he made the decision to "allow the club to continue through its current period of transition".

In a statement, Davies said: "Our club thanks Nick for his commitment and dedication to the football club over the last five years.

"Nick is a great club person and we wish him all the best for the next chapter in his career.

"While today has certainly been one of significant change, we continue to move forward as a football program, with our focus to remain solely on taking this club in the direction we need to improve in every area of our football performance."
