Voss Under Radar

Featured Replies

Posted

The Demons cop so much shiite from the media that we are almost used to it but how about this snippet from a MLloyd article

In their last 66 games of home-and-away football, the Lions have won just 18 matches. In that same period, Melbourne has won 19, Port Adelaide 20 and the Bulldogs and Richmond 27.

The media harp on about Melbourne being a perennial crap team and while true for the last 6 years we have outperformed Brisbane. Now its true we have had a lot of first round picks and our hardness has been non-existent but really, Voss went for a failed re-build with Fev and others to try and win a GF in his first year and has done stuff all since. He has failed big time (I don't count a NAB cup win)

We should shout this to media organisations at every opportunity. SHow them up for what they are and the bias they show.

 

Yep, not even going to bother with comparisons to us as we all know how [censored] we have been, but Michael Voss gets very little attention considering where Brisbane are at. I don't think there is the same culture in rugby league and therefore rugby league states where coaches are under the pump so much, at least not to the same extent as our game, and particularly in Melbourne. Perhaps it's a good thing.

if we roll them today he wont be flying under the radar anymore thats for sure

Will also be a massive pressure release for Neeld and the boys

GO DEMONS

 

Voss will be unemployed if we beat the lions today, there is no possible way he could keep it

He was scrutinised by Sheahan and Walls the other night.

5th year, the drums are beating.

Neeld has copped more than most and he has really learnt - he gives the media nothing, the players give the media nothing, it's an us versus them mentality.

Almost Northeyesque in its application.

Also the supporters have a completely different mind set on Voss than we do with Neeld.

Voss is their golden boy - its blasphemous to say or think anything bad about him

With all due resects J.....Who cares what Sheahan and Walls said.....Really, the media think they run footy and they can put pressure on coaches who don't have a great team from behind the glass with a beer in hand......They are just blood suckers who wait for the next head to fall.....

If Voss wasn't a legend of their club and was coaching a Victorian team he would be out the door, after winning the NAB cup they would be expecting to play finals, right now they look bottom four.

That's true - not denying that....my focus is that Neeld has 'shut shop' so they're sniffing elsewhere....

I think you will find the AFL launched a tanking investigation on the back of Sheehan, healy and Walls interviewing McLean. SO someone listens to them..

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
