Coach Voss

Featured Replies

The Media believes he will make a senior coach, after a few years as a assistant.

The reality is that we wont be in the market for a coach then.

So Its take Vossy now or never.

Exactly.

If we don't take a chance on him, someone else will.

He might be a failure, but so might anyone else we appoint (Connolly?! <_< ). However, if the risk comes off, it will come off in a huge way and we'll reap the rewards for having the balls to make the move early.

He won't be available at the end of 2007... in fact, this might be our one and only chance to get him.

100% agree.

its going to be very interesting who actually gets/makes the shortlist, but who can jump the hoops !!

Well said Jaded......

While it is definitely a risk versus reward type situation, there are times when you just have to roll the dice and take your chances.

And for the Melbourne Football Club this is easily one of those times.

Will Gardiner and the board have the balls to do it though???

You would hope so, but I guess we will just have to hold our breath and wait and see :rolleyes: !!!

 

It was midway through the 2003 season and despite having won two flags we were going through a rough trot.

He got up in front of the entire playing group and told us he didn’t think he could trust us any more. Trust us to put our head over the ball. Trust us to keep running when we were tired. And trust us to cover for each other.

It was a real eye-opener. Our mate, our captain, was telling us we were taking short cuts.

The next week we had guys going out trying to prove themselves to the captain and we got back that absolute commitment to the team cause. For me it was the turning point of our year and played a massive role in the third flag that followed.

I’ve never met anyone as competitive as Michael Voss. He just loves competing.

It’s virtually impossible to find one phrase to describe him because he’s the complete package but if I had to identify just one it’d be “the courage to succeed”.

who ever Voss is paying to do his PR he's doing a cracker of a job !! :rolleyes:


I've just been watching Brisbane Lions cause the upset of the year by beating West Coast at Subiaco.

I'm now convinced that we need a new direction in our coaching - a protege of the great Lethal Leigh.

Anyone for Michael Voss?

Going on the footage shown on Channel 9 News tonight of the fight in Grandfinal week last year at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Melbourne, Vossy will at least be able to teach Melbourne players how to fight.

...if you detected a note of hesitancy with Voss,

it's because he's going elsewhere...

He's not going to white ant anyone.

There is only club with a vacancy. If he is going elsewhere he must have/be white anting someone!


Let's stop piddling around.

Young renewing list equals young coach with a hell of a lot to prove.

Pagan = NO.

Connolly = NO

Sheedy = NO

Reilly = NO

Any one of umpteen assistant coaches = NO

Computer says YES = Voss.

>>There is only club with a vacancy. If he is going elsewhere

>>he must have/be white anting someone!

Not necessarily Diesel.

Some coaches are now being white-anted - by their club's

committee.

All Voss has to do is keep a respectable distance. Let the pieces

fall into place.

Ask yourself. Who is on the skids and who can afford to get rid

of their present coach?

I doubt that Melbourne has the money to pay for him and

his professional team of assistants.

Still, money is no guarantee of success.


Akermanis says NO = Voss

I am not sure that I would trust Aker's opinion as far as I could throw him on the Voss argumnet, given he does have a reason for personal bias.

Voss lacks coaching skills - Aker

Indeed.

First Daniher is no good for consulting his leadership group about Aker, now Voss has no coaching skills.

Aker has a shortage of brain cells, that's more to the point.

Voss was a great player...........

BUT in terms of being our next coach, NO THANKS>

So many ditractions i dont know where to start.

This incident is only the start.

He never had to deal with the spotlight of playing footy in Melbourne,,, he was hidden awy in QLD....

He handled the Aker stiuation like a baby.... couldnt get along with him so made sure aker was excluded...

He has no coacjing experience as we all know, but yet half of you think he ll make a great coach...WHY! cause he was a great player. There s plenty of great players who commentat and write for the papers and have no idea. He played in one team away from melbourne thats it......

There are so many good candidates like Mckenna, Ratten and the Horse why do we want to be the club who takes the risk on the only bloke in footy arrogant enough to think he can walk in to a coaching job with no experience....

NO THANKS

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
