I met Voss in a pub up here in Brizvegas when the Lions were in their prime, I told him he was a legend etc and he said Go Lions... I said Go Blues and then he whispered in my ear that he was a Carlton supporter his whole life and still watches them fondly. Top bloke and he and Roos will be great.
Don't worry about Teaguey (and he has impressed me very much in post game interviews as well as actually changing things around on game day which Bolton soorly lacked any vision)
But look at the opportunity and exposure David has got caretaking, invaluable experience that he will use for his future. Don't think he should get the full time job just because he's there now.
People...we can not afford to gamble again and must go with experience at AFL level because I keep paying membership every year for the last 15 but until recently I had lost interest in even watching games as I'm sick of being down the friggin ladder even with all the high draft picks we've had. My 9 year old daught keeps telling me I've got to follow someone else because we just lose all the time!!!!
ENOUGH CRAP
GET US UP WHERE WE BLOODY SHOULD BE!!!!!!
Well that's my six monthly rant out of the way ...
Yeah, but any appointment is going to be a gamble, whether we like it or not.
It's like recruiting, we only really know what we should have done after the fact. Sometimes what we should have done is what we did (ie. Patrick Cripps) and some times it's not (ie. Matthew Watson).
I mean, you could easily argue that Voss/Roos = recycled dud coach/has been past his prime, just as much as you could argue Teague = training wheels.
Every premiership coach since 2011 was promoted from an assistant gig.
Or, every premiership coach since 2003 was promoted from an assistant gig, with the exception of Malthouse in 2010.
You can form a credible stance whichever direction you want to promote and you can probably back it up with stats too.
I have NFI what the right approach is and I've never been less sure about which direction we should go.
Agree 100%.
As I’ve said before, I’m very glad I’m not the one having to make the decision.
I’m banking on the idea that those who are making the decision are well aware of everything we’re all saying plus they have very good inside info which further enhances their knowledge.
And even then, whatever they decide could work brilliantly or fail miserably. And NO-ONE can confidently predict it.
