Whatley’s turnaround in his attitude to Carlton in one week is Brian Cook - the obsequious prick doesn’t want to cut off any relationship that may cost him a story down the track.

Thanks. I’ll try my best!

Unfortunately that talent won't help him in the coaches box.

Walshy the poster has joined Richmond and changed his name to TL( Teague lover )

Poor tigers

Don't go there.

I like this appointment. Tough bastard is Voss but according to Sayers he also has high EQ . That's a strong skillset in modern footy as he will be able to drive strong standards but also he will be able to hug the boys that need a hug.
Hopefully we can get some strong assistants around him.

It's actually an inspiring choice...why?

Because the easy solution would've been to look at his past and get all gun shy

The difficult solution is to look deeply at the man, his experiences, his growth, beliefs, values, ideas, success environment he came from, new learnings etc etc. and take the chance that his coaching is ready to be taken to a new level

And as somebody else pointed out which I also mentioned earlier in the week...he comes with Parko and Diesel's blessing...That's enough for me

Watch our 2022!!!!

Is Ayres coming on board Cazz?
I reckon he will be brilliant...have banged on about it for weeks with my mates

No idea but I did hear a rumour that he was at Icon Park a few weeks back once the selection process was in full swing. Personally I just don’t see how you go wrong with Ayres on board.

I heard him interviewed on SEN recently and he rocked. How he managed to keep Port Melbourne so, so competitive over such a long period, as a stand alone club speaks volumes for his standing as Coach and mentor of young men.

I talk about Neil Balme all the time and Ayres is that same worldly, level head in a crisis character. Within football circles you never hear a bad word about him. He is spoken about glowingly by important people.

Regards Cazzesman

Just enjoyed a beer watching Vossy on alf360.
I'm excited!

I'd be rapt if he came on board. I'm a big rap for him and Andy Collins, and the Hawks took Andy already.

This would be an awesome get. Great sounding board for Voss, and a wealth of knowledge

How is it inspiring outside of the novelty of having a new coach. You can have all that but means nothing if you struggle in the coaches box. We had to rummage through the $2 bin to find the last experienced coach. His winning record is worse than Teague's and he set Brisbane back years. He may be better this time round but why risk it? I would've taken the easy solution and looked for an upgrade, which is what you do if you change coach. It's not about the easy solution it's about picking the right person. You just don't take that risk.

He may well be better and the Board may be lauded for their foresight but if this one fails the Board will struggle to survive. Only hindsight will tell us that but we don't have that.

You asked so I gave my reason...lol.

Anyway, all aboard the Vossy bus. Can only support. Have to get behind him.

He would make an OUTSTANDING Football Mgr...apart from his glowing AFL CV, I'm guessing, as a VFL coach, he needed to undertake so many other roles that can't be afforded due to budgetary constraints

Also as a senior assistant...the guy lives and breathes football and also comes from a culture of success

FFS Blues, get GARY AYRES'S on the line and give him a job now

I'm sure with everything going on in the world today, you'll muster the strength, stoicism, grit and resilience required to 'support', despite the trauma of having Voss appointed

I don't know what Michael Voss will be like as OUR coach. I do know he is one of the best AFL players in history. He was hard, never seemed to compromise, did not shirk a contest, was physical, but maybe most importantly was a team player that never accepted anything below best effort, nor did he give it.

Now IF he can translate all of that into his coaching, get our team on the page, add a consistent reliable game plan which instills clear plans for both our defense and attack, can identify AND implement each player into their CORRECT and most damaging position and give them some continuity in that role/position, instill a never say die attitude on the field AND provide some decent winning ways, this guy maybe the best thing that has happened to our club!

No pressure. Its a lot to ask, but sorry I've heard the "I will do this and bring this" etc mantra for decades, and the most recent celebration of premiership success was over 20 years ago and you can bet 80K members plus countless supporters are crying out for on field success again. I know I am.

Good luck Michael Voss!

Also, it would be refreshing to see the majority of Carlton supporters get around this guy and give him a chance. 3 years is not long. Lets try not to hang him after a handful of games....

Finally, bring us Lappin and Scarlett as Assistant coaches please!
