Carlton has confirmed another change to its coaching department with VFL mentor Luke Power departing Ikon Park to pursue other opportunities.

It is understood that multiple Victorian teams are exploring the possibility of acquiring Power, according to AFL Media, with Essendon being a notable club.

Power's departure is part of a mini exodus from the Blues amid an uncertain era. Head of Coaching Performance and Innovation Aaron Greaves and backline coach Aaron Hamill will depart IKON Park, as will Development and Talent Manager Tom Lonergan, who has taken on a recruiting role at Geelong.

Coming into the club is the highly-rated football boss Chris Davies, who will reunite with senior coach Michael Voss. 

Power, a three-time Brisbane premiership player, first landed at Carlton in 2019 as Head of Development, and quickly took on the role as the reserves senior coach in 2022, the year former teammate Voss joined the club.

Power was also named the AFL Coaches Association's Assistant Coach of the Year in 2021.

"We would like to thank Luke for his commitment and contribution during his past six years at the Blues," Carlton Acting GM of Football Len Villani said.

"His advancement of our standalone VFL program, along with our development pathway, has our club well established in this regard, and that is significantly due to the tireless efforts of Luke over many years.

"Luke is a great football person, and is highly regarded across the football department and throughout the Club, which is a testament to the way he carries himself as a person.

"We will continue to work through the makeup of our 2026 AFL coaching structure, and will provide you all with further updates throughout the off-season period."
