I was always of the mind it was to add professionalism and stability to a chaotic club that was up and down like a yo-yo and had failed to adjust to the 21st century AFL.
I believe he has done that.
Wright might be the better person to fix our playing list and assistant coaching issues though.
Also IIRC, Wright was at Collingwood when they tried to get Voss but due to him being unavailable during the interview process because of finals, McRae was ultimately given the job. And once Port were out and both Ross and Clarkson said no, we pounced on him.
I can't see Voss getting the boot until they have tried the above changes first.
nope. wright didn't rate voss. voss never got the call for a 2nd interview. wright identified mcrae and pretty much single handedly bought him over. he was the man wright wanted when he parachuted buckley out of there.
there's lots of media out there backing this up including an old interview with wright where he said as much.
All I can see it article after article of Voss saying he didn't have the mental capacity to go through a lengthy interview process when he was preparing Port for the PF's.
Mc Rae was appointed on the 1st of September 2021, 10 days before the PF.
i've been looking for the last 1/2 hour. it was a facebook post from a carlton page that appeared on my wall. the guy referenced an interview with wright, back at collingwood talking about the mcrae appointment.
it said voss applied and was told he wouldn't receive an interview as the short list was already done. the shortlist was mcrae and another who i forget.
wright's first choice was sam mitchell, but he couldn't offer mitchell the job before hawks did, and the hawks had to shunt clarkson to make that happen bcos they knew the pies were circling.
it was a proper longform journalist article, which is why i remember it. you don't get to read much longform anymore. was like a 20 min read.
i remember doing a google check a couple months ago about wright. there's all kinds of random articles out there about him, and a few referenced that he didn't even consider voss as a coach bcos he didn't rate him.
