AFL: Michael Voss spoke to the media following Carlton's win over Port Adelaide.
After winning just two of their five most recent games heading into Thursday night against Port Adelaide , the question marks hanging over Carlton’s head were slowly growing in size.

New to Kayo?Michael Voss’ men also registered the highest ever quarter of any side against Port Adelaide at the Adelaide Oval, with their 8.1 topping the 7.4 Richmond scored in the third quarter against the Power in Round 21, 2022.
Sam Walsh and Tom De Koning combined for 16 clearances, with eight each of their own “When Cripps is in this frame of mind, they go next level – and this is why we talk about them the way we do; I know the ladder position has said something different over the last few weeks, but this is them. Their sole loss on the road came against Sydney a fortnight ago, where they were comfortably beaten by 52 points.
The Blues have now claimed three big scalps on the road in 2024, and have finally broken their Adelaide Oval curse Despite a very slow start to the evening, captain Cripps stood up in the final term with nine disposals, two clearances and two goals helping push the Blues over the line with their seven-point lead from three-quarter time.
Michael Voss commented on the midfielder’s efforts in his post-match press conference, endorsing his ability to not back down from the fight and continuing to attack despite the closeness of the contest.
