Toast Welcome Pat Voss - 2024 Season SSP Signing

[JammoMonty]

Shultz left us for the pies

Shultz partner was going through a bit with her family and needed to head home to Victoria. Club did the right by Shultz and Collingwood came to the table with a solid offer.

I imagine if it goes down that road the pies won’t stand in the way of Bobby Hill.

 

[Spirit Level]

Along with Treacy, one of those astute pickups that could end up winning you a premiership.

Now that his kicking has improved he's a bona fide gun key forward (of which we now have 3).

Maybe most importantly, releases Jackson to dominate around the ground

 

[The Lobbster]

Vossy pointing out that he’s switched to JLO’s old number and is suddenly getting way more games is pretty funny

Pat Voss being a catty bitch isn't something I knew I needed, but I'm very much here for it.

I think Vossy can sit back and compare players like Merrett and Fyfe. Both darn good players (well one slightly better !!!), but one revered around the club for loyalty even through adversity, the other departing when the going gets too tough.

Loyalty is so underrated in many ways.

Would prob think he should just stay out of his old clubs dramas

I do not begrudge or blame Merrett wanting out of Essendon. He's played there 12 years and they've done jackshit to improve. Fyfe at least could see the club getting better and building a capable list.

Merrett's 29 now and actively being moved out of the midfield for other younger players. Loyalty has it's limits.

I dunno even at the time I thought that was weird. Who are these young tyros who need checks notes one of the best complete mids in the comp moved to half back so they can get more rotations? Hobbs, Caldwell? Setterfield? They're spuds!

 

[Paracleet]

In hindsight obviously...

Caldwell is no Merrett but he’s no spud either. Absolutely is room for both though

Congratulations to the Prancing Pony on his Best Clubman award.

When I played footy the Best Clubman award was for the kid who tried hard but wasn't quite good enough to win any of the other trophies.

But the award is now much more than that.

He has applied himself to training, doing the extra work with his Voss Academy, bringing enthusiasm for his team mates and he has turned his career around.

Congratulations to the best celebrator in the game!

One of my favourite players to watch.

“The Best Clubman award was for the kid who tries hard but wasn’t quite good enough to win any of the other trophies “. Wait………what? JFC that was a painful tattoo I got 40 years ago for nothing.

The best club man award was Bailey Banfield's to lose, and he did!

No insult intended to Bailey as he does some amazing charity work and has done for years.

There will come a game, and I hope it's against a side like Brisbane or Hawthorn or Collingwood, who are in the market for a tall forward, where he will tear it up and kick six or seven goals from ten to twelve marks.

The reality for Voss is that he either forces a massive change in structure at Freo, pushes Treacy, Amiss or Jackson to Peel or leaves for opportunities elsewhere.

Choosing to hope for the best for all parties, I hope he clicks with his kicking and becomes a weapon averaging three to four goals a game. Given he will be out of contract and a free agent when he is due to being delisted before joining us, a side could throw quite a bit of money at him to take that marking power and handful of goals a game away.

Fremantle ends up with another first round pick from the AFL. Voss gets paid career money, plays #1 forward.

Hell, sign him to a one year extension during next season if his performance is justifying it and come end of 2027 Tasmania will make the hard list choices very simple for us. They'll buy him to be the grunt up forward.

All depends on him taking great steps with his set shot kicking, he has his career in his hands.

You nailed it here

 

[DeadEyeJye]

What an absolute beast. Its little wonder that once he fixed his yips in front of goal he has gone from strength to strength.

Emmett realising too late putting some muscle on would've helped him

Is this an old photo? Why is he training with Emmett and Reidy?

Cos they were teammates and don’t hate each other?

 

[freoextra]

Cos they were teammates and don’t hate each other?

Sure that makes sense for Vossy and Reidy but Emmett coming to another state for a bit of training????

 

[Superkoops]

Reidy and Voss training is not unusual. Reidy in offseason and still in Perth. Emmett heading over to Perth from Adelaide to train with them both is a little bit different.

 

[Taylor]

Patrick Voss won't look back on his career in fifteen years time and wonder if there was more he could have done to earn it.

Other way around. Vossy and Reidy are in Adelaide for whatever reason.

Ok, that’s even stranger, why would Voss, who just completed the broom trip head off to Adelaide to meet up a bloke who’s been traded to a vic club?
