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) Edited by Stigga

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.

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.

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

Clearly a shocking list and culture...

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.
