Mark Robinson's mate, Sam McLure has been encouraged to suggest that he believes, or he's looking for click bait when he reports:
Quote:
Blues coach Michael Voss is “coaching for his career” at the club as “factions” have started to appear within the playing group, according to Nine journalist Sam McClure.
Factions? That is plural. Lets see what he reports:

Despite the mounting pressure at Ikon Park, McClure believes it’d be “unrealistic” and “unfair” to say Voss will only keep his position if Carlton makes finals.
However he claims it’s important for the Blues to adjust their game plan and improve their scoring woes.
“They certainly have to show that they are willing to score and play in a different way to what they are at the moment,” McClure added.
“There are lots of players who truly believe Michael Voss can get them out of this and that Michael Voss is the man. But there is at least one situation I know of inside the Carlton dressing room between a couple of players which has caused issues in the team.
“There are still senior people who are restless at the lack of development at Carlton ... they need to win games and they need to start scoring.”
It comes ahead of Carlton’s must-win MCG showdown against arch rival Essendon*, who’ve soared up the ladder under new coach Brad Scott to currently occupy sixth place.
McClure suggested another loss to the Blues would be even more damning considering Scott was available when they signed Voss.
“If they are well beaten against Essendon* on Sunday night by the man who they probably should have got to coach in many people’s eyes — and that is Brad Scott, who was available to them before he went to Essendon* — it will symbolic of not just how Essendon* have gone forward, but in fact how Carlton have gone backwards,” he said.
One situation, I'm not surprised. That's normal. That one situation possibly has to do with the non selection of Dow, possibly, Fogarty, and maybe OBrien types. Making a mountain from a Mole Hill Sammy boy. Why don't you name them? or, give the names to robbo, and he will gladly name them after Thursday nights selections, or Fridays final selections.
Cripps will get tagged. He needs to show some strength and mongrel. More than what he did against the Dees.
The Carlton mids will have Hewett back, and he needs to step up and hit those prix hard.
We have to win this...choke them defensively, and let fly in a synchronised manner to score. Its scores and exciting footy Vossy and the team have to reintroduce to the supporters.
Hansen, Hamill, Clark...spotlight is clearly on you this weekend. Lets see what you're minds are made of.
COME ON BLues. Effedropes want to bang a nail in your coffin.
There's always peripheral players who are upset with their non selection. Big deal. We have 4 points to win, not stroke players with shortfalls in their game
