The guy is seriously [censored] in the head. Where would he be if he couldn't play footy ?

Rehab, jail or some sort of witness protection program I would have thought.

I don't think Voss is a DH at all. His actual reasoning is totally understandandable; he has three genuine champions in Black, Power and Brown, and there was a genuine case for having one more crack at a premiership while those three are still around. If he hadn't done this, he'd probably be criticised for sitting on his hands and allowing a flag opportunity to slip by.

For mine, he bit the bullet and took a bold but worthwhile risk, which unfortunately for him and Brisbane has completely fallen on its arse. Of course he has to take responsibility for it, but it doesn't make him an idiot or even a poor coach- for all he knew at the time, there was a good chance Fevola might straighten himself out and deliver Brisbane to the top 4.

Having said that, Brisbanes approach in the last few years has certainly been a monumental failure. I said in another thread that in retrospect, they could have had Lachlan Henderson, Lewis Jetta, Jack Grimes and Daniel Rischitelli all coming through along with Daniel Rich. The funny thing is, even Voss's quest for immediate premiership success would have been better served by these guys than Fev and TJ, let alone Brisbanes long-term prospects.

Vossy obviously believes if you want to achieve something great you have to be willing to take risks. Well sometimes this works, but I think he threw the baby out with the bath water so to speak. He went about list adjustments like a bull at a gate, like he played his football, and his flag at all costs mentality threw a good portion of the list offside.

The decision to recruit Fevola and the ramifications of that was the beggining of the end for the Lions, which is ashame because I quite enjoyed watching them play when they were up. They were exciting- now they are a shell of a once great club.

I would ease up on Fev for a bit. At this stage it is only allegations, but of coarse the media have jumped all over it to grab the Fev headline.

I reckon it is poor form on Brisbanes behalf by suspending him before any charges are even laid. What ever happened to support your own untill proven. Dont get me wrong, I think the bloke is a [censored], but people are very quick to get stuck in on the basis of not much.

Too true. Plenty of attention seekers wanting to make a headline. :wub: Sounds a little suss to me. If you exposed yourself at a party, surely others are going to notice.

Then again, if he was a female making anti-gay twitters, we'd all be horrible for giving him a hard time.

Vossy realised that if Brisbane were to compete while BBP were still around then he would have to act decisively. Brisbane were on the skids before Voss go to them.

He wont be charged unless there is CCTV of it, and it doesn't sound like there is.

....that is unless they do a photo-board and he has a distinctive freckle or something.

Posted (edited)

The fact there will be no evidence and Selwood backs up his story, not only means he won't get charged, but also probably means people will doubt the truth in her allegations.

I'm already very suspicious of the motives involved...

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
