Geelong assistant renowned for his strategy James Kelly tops the coveted list for Carlton’s senior coach job.
He recently confirmed he’s firmly focused on the Carlton role, not Essendon’s opening.
Kelly primarily works with Geelong’s midfield and does not stated any plans to leave.
Geelong hasn’t comment on personnel movements.
Carlton’s panel firmly denied favouring any candidate, calling that talk false.
The panel will fairly judge all applicants properly and in due course reveal its pick later this month.
Overall decisions will come shortly after interviews are done.
