My guess is the location is favourable for Roos and he can get back to his Fitzroy roots.

Agreed

    Yes but not of coaching.

    His results at Brisbane have been poor.

    His dumb decision to pay a bomb for Fevola was a disaster and split the Club and hurt the player culture resulting in a number of key players leaving.

    A lesser favourite son would have been sacked for that almighty balls up

    Understand all that, but still appeals to me more than Williams or eade (assuming that Roos is out)

    I have always believed that single decision led to the Lions being where they are today.

    IMO it set back restructuring the club 3 years and Voss is where he is as a direct result.

    Why would Voss appeal to you more than Eade or Williams? both have built a list into a premiership contender.

    If we are looking for a coach who hasn't made a mistake will have to be a rookie.

    I am sure he has learnt his lesson from that.

    Understandable though. Still had brown, black, power at their peak and thought they could pinch one more.

    As a side note voss as coach could be a positive in attracting players to the club. I think this is a massive issue for the club going forward.

    Unfortunately that was one of a number of changers Voss was responsible.

    Excellent candidate for the QAFL.

    So brent is running around in a jumper of a sacked coach

    Nah, three time premiership captain, Brownlow medalist, and one of the hardest and most respected midfielders of his era.

    Good try though.

  • Quote

    Yeah, gotta feel for Beamer.

    He's out for the rest of the year with an injury so he's going to miss out on having the pleasure of playing under a caretaker coach again.

    Thats a shame because it would have been his 7th coach in 11 yrs of footy

    He knows how to burn 'em does Brent!

    Robert Walls said on SEN, that he believes that Leigh Matthews could be interested in another stint at the Lions...the plot thicnens

    leigh is over the best part of his life

    noticed on telly every now and then he is starting to waffle like old dee and wyl

    the younger players of today will give him a heart attack

    love the man but definitely past it

    btw stigga, didn't realise you had a death wish

    you normally make some sense to me anyway

    After he destroyed the culture at another Club?

    Aside from Neeld I can't think of a coach who has as badly damaged the list and culture in such a short space of time.

    And given you think Voss had Browm, Black and Power at their peak his poor results speak for themselves.

    Interesting they announce it on the same night Essendrug get hammered. WOn't be much bad press........

    Good, I hope Roos is quivering in his thongs at the prospect.

    I am beginning to think that the coaching role is just a joke.

    one man's rubbish is another man's treasure

    Exceptionally unlikely, IMO.

    Probably just hoping that if he mentions another old timer, someone will put his name forward in return,

    Biffen and myself have been trying to get back to our "Fitzroy roots" ,for some time, without success. Please give us a hint Clint ( like the rhyme) we are friendless.

    last year brent had the sads, instead of biting the bullett & playing for the jumper & club... now his coach has gone. I wonder of this irony will emerge to bite him on his backside in the near.

    Add Ian Stewart.

    Three Brownlows.

    Three premierships.

    One of the game's greatest players.

    Not a coach's clipboard.

    You mean the same club that defeated Geelong a few weeks ago?

    Clearly a shocking list and culture...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
