the problem that i have with Voss is, he's been here before. He coached the lions into regression and couldn't snap out of it, and from this season to last - he's done the same.
when players look confused and observers cannot figure out how we're trying to play and what we're trying to do? that's a red flag in coaching more than the players, imo ...
a season where finals was promised; and collectively as a team & a club right across the board we've regressed; people at cfc will have to pay those consequences...
I'd like to hear more about our "half arsed review" (as per caro's statement) and all of those implications.
Like, why was Mcrae never even green listed as a someone cfc needs to interview?
Our review came up with two names, lyon and voss. One old school and defensive who's never been able to get his teams over the line. And another a champion player who's never made the transition from player to head coach and the only time he tried he failed really really badly... maybe he's a career line coach?
but, why aren't we attempting to find the next mcrae?
Mcrae is the man manger and leader, and the assistants are the ones who are the tacticians and line coaches. Mcrae has good assistants guiding him and his players. Voss is a man manager and leader.
Who knows, maybe the Vossy game plan has got the players buy in and because it is unique its something we should embrace if it can win Finals because its different. I'm only guessing, like the rest of us.
Game plan has been tweaked and needs to continue to be tweaked and practised against AFL teams, not intra club games during the preseason. Maybe the reset is happening as we speak. Maybe we will see the players pick up another 5% and focus and visualise goals before they kick them.
Whatever is the problem, looks to me the rest of this year will be about finding out what works and who is not worth keeping.
i've wondered for a bit now ... if voss's combative gameplan from last season - if there were people at the club telling him to tone that down bcos it's not sustainable over a 24 game season. and now voss is at a loss how to implement a sustainable one?
