Does anyone know when Leigh Mathews contract expires with brisbane

The end of 2008.

Thanks

They were still untried as senior coaches I did cover myself off on that one.

Voss coached the Lions' reserves when he broke his leg, but he hasn't done any real coaching in his life.

He needs an autocue coach. Hopeless sports reader.

But a great reader of the play.

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Sure, Voss would be no good.
Just like untried coaches like Clarko!

The way I see it ATM, if FEV plays, he had a major role in Denis going. He will also be apart of our long term plans. We are also trying to win this week!!

Voss is the modern day Barassi.
The great modern day Carlton began with the arrival of George Harris.We had been in the doldrums for many years until George lobbed on the scene.He turned the club around.............
How ? ..........he was a dashing,devil may care,never say die sort of bloke who took a HUGE gamble by punting on an untried coach.It was all or nothing for George.George being George siezed the moment and went for broke......he took the massive gamble and succeeded gloriously.
The moment has arrived again folks.Be bold,brave,swift,and decisive.
Voss is the man.Go get him and stop effing around.

We need some good players too. Where are we going to find them?

There is a certain symetry and similarity to that time isnt there Mickstar.

Sure is Agro..........contrary to what people believe,history DOES repeat itself.And we have that perfect oppurtunity to replicate it now.I have never been so certain of a bloke than i am of Voss.Born to lead.Forget about experience and all that stuff.You are a leader or you arent.The minor details will take care of themselves.For all the wonderous theories about coaching and what is required........it all boils down to one thing.
You have to have the ability to MOTIVATE and INSPIRE.No one does it better than Voss.

We are Carlton, @#$%&! the rest !!!!!!

Sounds like a good candidate to be our next Captain Carlton, Mickstar

Voss has it
Annoucement expected before end of season
Will be on proviso that a mentor (perhaps Daniher if he doesnt get a gig elsewhere) is alongside him

Thanks Josh.

I think....

Did someone say mentor?

Sheedy hints at new role next season

Mentor huh?

Writing's on the wall Fevolution. Suck it up champ.

Oh course, it all gets denied here:

http://www.heraldsun.news.com.au/footy/common/story_page/0,8033,22141286%255E20322,00.html

but which sounds more convincing ... personally I'd take the word of the anonymous Voss hangeron anyday in the current climate.

does he?

If Josh says Voss has it, then that's as good as an official announcement for me.

I suspect that the real interest will be in who else comes with him, and in what roles. Go back to the discussion with the Board members from last week on TC. What did they emphasise above all else? The Football Department. So many questions came back to an answer that we need a well resourced football department... it came across as being priority number one, two, and three.

Reading between the lines, this whole coaching issue is about much more than just the coach, it is about putting together a new model of football operations that will be designed to carry this Club well into the future. I think the really interesting thing will be to see the model that is adopted, and the broad range of personnel that we fit into it. Maybe we've been looking at those NFL models that were raised in the BomberBlitz (makes me sick to say it) article that EB posted yesterday? Regardless, I think we are about to see the real value of a forward-looking, intelligent, and well resourced Board of Directors.

I like what i read in the Australian. If only we can fast forward to the end of season.

Question: Voss is contracted to Brisbane still, i assume this will expire on the 31st October like most contracts. Does this mean Voss cannot assume a coaching role until his playing contract has expired?
