thought he spoke very well.....and probably stuck it up many of the media , supporters and non supporters of the game (or at least added perspective)

well done Vossy, now lets get a win!

Well done Vossy. About time someone from the club came out strongly and defended themselves. He spoke really well and whether you think he is the right man for the job going forward or not, he is certainly the right man for the moment. I'm not sure that he is our future, but I've never admired him more than right now. Hopefully the players take note and understand that this guy has their back 100% and play accordingly

Well said.
He's a great bloke and clearly a passionate and protective leader.
I hope our boys come out firing this weekend, for Voss, for Elijah and for the club.

Absolutely spot on muzza

Wonderful human being.

Stuck up for his people, and gave good reason for that support; they earned it. I love the way he put a giant halt sign to the reporter looking for headlines. set his moral code straight, and finally put every click baiter on notice; they are part of the problem of the phenomenon, mental illness, in our code.

I'm sure the club will be commended by all reasonable people for all the good work done to expedite Eliijah's recovery, and his family will attest to that. We may have got something wrong during the game. Something we did or didnt need to do in every game Elijah played this year, and I believe the warder of his sanity last Thursday demanded too much of the club. I think things will settle. People will get off their soap boxes, and learn about this disease. A disease that affects more people in your community than you think, and know. Mental illness is a private matter, for obvious reasons, till it is made public.

Like Concussion, and post football stresses, this mental health enquiry will encourage more discussion and understanding of the illness. An illness that affects all of us in one way or another. Cheers to progress. Boo to hysteria. Well played Vossy.

Just watched it and the above is a great summary of my thoughts.

Stood up for himself, his people, his players, his club and provided much needed context. Stuck it up the media too, which was welcome

No doubt there’ll be learnings from the investigations which we’ll see in due course.

Hopefully a line in the sand for our club.

Given you know a bit of the behind the scenes stuff that have been going on for last couple years braithy, and a voice for a change in coach, this post of yours is all class.

So true re W's & L's, and as Vossy said, nothing is easy, and guaranteed when you aim for something high.

Credit where it's due, Vossy was absolutely outstanding in the presser today.

Being senior coach of Carlton would be one of the most stressful jobs in Melbourne

100% the most. No club when it's losing would be as stressful as carlton

you'd legits have to be crazy to take the job

I liked him controlling the press conference and shutting down the gutter journo's. Especially filth like McLure and Clark.
But I'm not a fan of the "bullying" comments.
By all means defend your people but let the findings be released, and people can make up their own minds.

Having been bullied myself, he had every right to call it out

Well, he's got them all in a tizz.
The media still can't see that their constant 'enquiring' for so called 'transparency' and leaking of information can be seen as bullying.
The fact that they also only see giving EH and his family privacy is not the only families he is talking about.
They must all think that anyone in the club is fair game.
Imagine being that deep in the media you can't see your own actions and the potential consequences of them, talk about a lack of self awareness.
Voss is quite right in letting the process unfold and stop with the speculation and finger pointing.
The Australian media are grubs, mostly.
I'm glad he stuck it to them.

And therein lies the problem with the world BV. It is not whether YOU or anyone else think its bullying, it is if its repetitive and Voss feels it is bullying, and therefore the comments by Voss are very appropriate.

Even Clarko stuck up for us today

Wrong or right, Voss and the club needed to stand up and defend. I’m glad he did, and I have no doubt, he is a passionate to the brand type.

All this got out of hand, and the bull dust visual and vocal public outcry, including coming out of the AFl/filth, was disgusting.

I’ll be interested to see what findings and conclusion comes from AFL, and if nothing more comes to light, I hope we keep working with Elijah as part of our playing group. I like having great families part of our club.

There will be always gutter journos
How often do you hear someone blame someone else off topic
And when you sign up for the job on big coin you get scrutinized
The media however much they are loathed at times keep the game in the news and indirectly help the size of Voss’ bank balance
You expect him to stick up for the club
What I want to know is which people were responsible for keeping him on the ground
And from this nothing like this will happen again from to
sports person
Lessons learnt

Actually I thought he was referring to the AFL investigation team when he talked about Carlton staff being bullied.

I listened for 6 minutes, they’re completely off track, waste of time.
