Brisbane coach Michael Voss will depart the Lions after being told on Tuesday that his contract would not be renewed at the end of 2013.

Strong speculation now surrounds former Sydney premiership coach Paul Roos. Roos is believed to have been unofficially approached by Brisbane about one month ago when he is said to have rejected an offer to return to AFL coaching.

Jesus. Did not see that coming. Looked like he was finally turning it around. Don't think they would be doing this unless they had someone like Roos lined up.

they said he failed to build a team that could beat Melbourne by more than 100points

Yep their goes our chances of an experienced coach....

Unless anyone thinks Ross is the go?

Roos probably signed with Brissy last year

I know we have to get our house in order but why does it always feel like the mfc are sitting around twiddling their thumbs?

I thought for a long time Roos was holding out for a club in a better state like Brisbane but thought Voss had saved his bacon with that game against Geelong.

On another note another same club player/coach gone. Primus last year, Voss this year and possibly Hird?

I think every coaching job will probably have Paul Roos linked too it.

I wonder if we could lure voss as a midfield coach?

I not sure why people are thinking that this announcement represents a loss of Roos.

We certainly never had him.

And if Brisbane were not going to resign Voss, don't you think they might have had exploratory discussions with prospective candidates?

And as Freo showed 2 years ago, there may well be other Clubs flying below the radar exploring opportunities that we don't know.l

It's naive to think we are the only ones looking.

And heaven knows Essendon should be in need of a new coach too. Essendon's future will be clearer once the penalties are agreed and announced.

Wow Moloney saw a coached sacked in his first season. Hope brisbane dont get a coach that will be to hard on him he may want to leave.

I thought Brisbane would do the decent thing and wait until the 3 games are over. But maybe they are into roos and need to get an offer going.

The thing is though brisbane dont need to go down our path and get an experienced coach. They could get an experienced untried coach if that makes sense.

    Champion ruckman and brilliant leader, Max Gawn earned his seventh All-Australian team blazer and constantly held the team up on his shoulders in what was truly a difficult season for the Demons.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.
