Michael Voss reflects on Carlton’s victory over Essendon on King’s Birthday Eve, where the clash of brothers Harry and Ben McKay added intensity to the physical contest.

In their first AFL game facing each other, the McKay brothers‘ collision became a focal point of the match as Carlton secured a 26-point victory at the MCG. Despite recording four fewer scoring shots than their opponents, the Blues’ efficiency propelled them to their ninth win of the season out of 13 games, positioning them second on the ladder with 36 points.

Speaking post-game, Voss highlighted the strategic battle between territory and efficiency, noting Essendon’s dominance in possession and inside-50 count but their struggle to convert opportunities into scores. He praised his team’s resilience in absorbing pressure and resetting during breaks, a testament to their growing belief and ability to finish games strongly.

Not what the Blues, or McKay family, want to see as Harry heads off the ground after an incident with Ben.

However, the victory came at a cost, with Harry McKay sustaining a suspected shoulder injury following a collision with his brother and Matthew Kennedy. Voss expressed concern but remained optimistic pending further assessment.

Acknowledging the intensity of the brothers’ contest, Voss sympathized with their mother, Tracey, acknowledging the anxiety that comes with watching her sons compete. Looking ahead, Voss emphasized the team’s ongoing improvement and readiness to address remaining challenges, buoyed by their consistent performance despite facing top-tier opponents week after week.

As Carlton prepares for their next challenge against Geelong, Voss remains focused on refining their game and capitalizing on opportunities for growth and development.
