Voss Under Radar

Recommended Posts

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.

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..

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
