Voss Under Radar


jnrmac

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..

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
