Just reading between the lines, I got the impression Clarko would have been keen next year if we waited.
As Tom Morris just said, we have gone for Voss because of his 5 years at Brisbane. Essentially Voss is Steve Bradbury, last experienced coach standing. Saving face after what we said after sacking Teague. First timers were always going to be interviewed so there was the look of a process but they were never getting the job. Kingsley apparently interviewed terrifically but we went with Voss because he had coached before. Never mind the fact he set Brisbane back years, he was "experienced". Voss will need a good first year or the teeth gnashing will be something given Clarko would likely be available.
All we can do is support him. I shall be no matter what (not that I have a choice...haha). You always support your own and give them a chance to prove themselves. That's important too.
Really respect you as a poster, but your disdain for Sayers and the sacking of Teague is the only thing I get from you recent posts.
Voss hasn't even set foot in Melbourne. You're parroting the media headlines as facts. Voss hasn't got the job. Fact. Kingsley not out of the race. Fact.
Clarko doesn't even know if he has what it takes to go full on as Head Coach now, and also said he may find he will never have the energy or desire to give the job 100%
Steve Bradbury...why don't you just say, its your personal view that its a Steve Bradbury because you hate what happened to Teague and hate Voss because Teague in your opinion is a better coach than Voss.
And I would ask you, how do you know that? I would add to remind you Voss took a team to Finals. Voss is no longer on Training Wheels. He's been sharpening his sword for the last 7 years. Read what the Port players say about him.
Lastly I would say, I'm glad Ive seen the back of Teague's gift and the embarrassing situation where his team couldn't defend, and in the end became a divisive figure, and a weekly target for his lack of defensive mindset...not finals footy game plan. Judd was right about Teague being on training wheels.
Thank god Teague isn't practising to learn the craft of coaching a team next year. We are not a play thing.
Get over Teague jimmy. Its a new era.
