As someone else said, he's unlikely to leave QLD as he wanted to stay there with his gf in the first place. I think he'll go to GC. He's the sort of player they need, and they clearly have the means to make it happen..

Michael Voss should do one of those 'idiot's guide' books and title it, 'How to completely ruin a football club in 18 months'..

You mean "Trading for Dummies..."

But seriously, they were doing okay at 4-0, weren't they.

Appearances can be deceptive.

Its not just the trading and drafting strategy which has been mostly disastrous, but also his non-inclusive way of dealing with his coaching staff. From the things i've heard, he's too much of a dictator and doesnt give enough responsibility to his assistants - which could explain the revolving door of assistant coaches that have come and gone since he took over..

I think Jonathon Brown was probably the main reason they were 4-0. As soon as he fell away, so did the rest of the team.

Looks like today they've just lost another one, albeit this time he was "sacked".

PR machine in full-effect.

Just been made official...

Good signing. will lead their midfield with Swallow

If GC has 'officially' signed any Melbourne players they would certainly have announced them by now, considering they've had 2 signings announcments.

I'm definitely hoping no Melbourne players leave to GC.

I hope Jones backs himself, signs for 1 year, has a good season then goes to GWS.

I he goes to GC this year we won't get enough for him because we weren't smart enough to rig the B&F.

Re: Rischitelli, I think they have to get a 1st round pick for him, not an AFTER 1st round pick like the crows.

Rischitelli has been in significantly better form and is 3 years younger than Bock.

Not good enough for a pick BEFORE the 1st round, but the Lions could certainly use it, to rebuild their current shambles of a list.

Seeing as the Lions have not yet held their B&F and the compensation is apparently dependent on that, do the Lions now have to wait until after the results, even though he has signed, before they find out what compensation they will receive..?

Rigging B&F's to get better value? You do like a conspiracy.

I do.

You'd need to be fairly sure he wanted to leave and you'd need to know early on, but it could easily have been done for a player like Rischitelli, if he hadn't had an exceptional season.

Lucky for the Lions, he has.

(or UNLUCKY)

You really have to LOL at Voss. Takes on the senior role without even 1 year of coaching experience as an assistant. Thinks he's gods gift to coaching. He has officially [censored] up the lions for years to come.

Brisbane:

Receive- Fevola (cancer for any club)

Cost

- pick 12

- Henderson... very promising player

- Bradshaw... left as a direct result of Voss' treatment of him during the Fev deal. Is at least the equal of Fevola and is a quality player

- Rischitelli.. quality midfielders who also left bc of Voss shafting him during Fev deal

- who'll be next... Drummand, Brennan rumoured to being leaving, could be interpreted as an indirect result of the Fev deal

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
