Josh Fraser insists he doesn't want the top job, but Carlton fans might not leave him with any other choice if the Blues continue their hot run all the way to a Wildcard berth.
Carlton have been in irresistible form since Fraser stepped in as interim coach following the departure of Michael Voss last month.
Wins over the Western Bulldogs, Port Adelaide and Geelong have given Fraser a perfect 3-0 start in the hot seat, and Carlton will start warm favourites against a banged-up Essendon outfit in Sunday night's clash at the MCG.
Carlton (4-8) started round 13 just two wins adrift of 10th spot - a position that gives teams a crack at the finals after this year's introduction of a Wildcard round.
