I thought he came across well in the press conference. He seemed excited and like he has something to prove.

On SEN now

On SEN now

Voss is going to be on SEN at around 3.10 today.

My Masters' supervisor once told me:

"To fully understand a problem, one must first unsuccessfully implement a solution."

Why? I asked

"Because only once you've figured out why your first attempt didn't work, have you grasped what is required. The next attempt should be bang on point. v2.0 is always bette than v1.0 (or even 1.1 service pack 12)".

What followed was hard yards of reflection, dissection and a second attempt that ultimately got the desired outcome.

He's done the reflection and the dissection at a club with a fantastic culture and has learned from a master in Ken Hinkley. He can only be better for it.

Wishing Vossy all the best in his role as head coach v2.0.

Same.

I am genuinely excited to see what happens with Stocker, Kemp and Dow under Voss.

Others also.

You know what i am happy because it is done and we can move forward and more importantly the players can move forward.

My take on it albeit is worth stuff all but willing to share:

As a player he was hard edged and uncompromising and that is what we need in a coach so hope he brings it.

I believe he had charge of Port's Midfield. Improvement in the last 2 years in their mids. Boak 30+ years of age but playing Career best footy, Wines was on the chopping block last year and now is Brownlow Medalist, William Drew, no-one knew who he was and he played all year and kept some good players out, Amon was looking at being Traded had a career best year. Surely Voss had some role to play in this.

I reckon with his Status and his background then he can attract some good assistant coaches, eg. Nigel Lappin, keep Luke Power and maybe attract some others.

NOW FFS CARLTON FC GIVE THIS BLOKE A CHANCE OF MORE THAN 2-3 YEARS TO PUT HIS MARK AND STAMP ON THINGS.

Yep he is honest. Doesnt use a log of jargon. And yes Bondi, that Ahhhhhhhh really annoyed me.

I dont trust people who use jargon to bamboozle people. They are people with a gift of the gab with no fricken idea about the mechanics of things.

And oh geez, Kenny Hunter and the Dominator were my favourite players too so thats a big tick for me.

He was a great player and I can only imagine that getting sacked from a club where he was an absolute legend would have been a crushing blow. There's not many larger public humiliations than a superstar player/senior AFL coach losing their job.

But instead of sooking it up and walking away, he has gone back to hone his skills. He's moved his family interstate, swallowed his pride, taken a secondary role and put in the hard yards to start the learning process again. I like his pathway. He knows success, he knows leadership and he now knows humility and the frailty and uncertainty that we mere mortals have to contend with.
If he understands his weaknesses, surrounds himself with complementary people and most importantly, allows them to do their jobs, I think he'll be a great coach.

What does this mean for Woosha and his zoom gig?

The last time I remember seeing Vossy at PP was back in his playing days in Carlton vs Lions game. Kouta was unstoppable at times.

I think this game in 1998 as I think it was mid season.

or this in 2000 but that is a Round 1 game
https://finalsiren.com/MatchDetails.asp ... 0f69f797e9

At one centre bounce Kouta raced under the ruckman, plucked the ball out the air with one hand, shrugged of Voss and exploded past a few others and lobbed it in the goal square where someone (Whits) took the mark and goaled. I had my bino's on Voss and he just stood in the centre square, hands on hips, shaking his head, with half a grin talking to Lappin.

If I was a lip reader I'm sure he was saying 'How the @#$% do we stop this freak.'

Good times.....
