Michael Voss Sacked

[TheOz]

Weird timing. Has laid the groundwork nicely for the next coach.

 

[SM]

Would Mark Harvey be in the running since he is assistant up their now?

This was my first thought.

Harvey should be their list manager, draft picks during his time at Fremantle were phenomenal.

 

[Damon_3388]

Wow!
I thought he was just getting them back on an even keel following the poor drafting of the early-to-mid 2000s period, before he was coach.

Fixed.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

So angry with this. Voss hasnt done a bad job, has rebuilt the club. Some coach is gunna come in and take all the credit

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Well, there is only a few months until trade week.

Best to get him out of the way now before he goes wild again.

I think Fremantle's list and recruitment managers would have something to do with that.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Mark Harvey scenario they have someone pretty big signed up.

 

[mightydockers]

Must be a good replacement. Think Paul Roos will be coaching brissy next year

 

[BM123]

So when you think Voss is safe for another year this happens

 

[Amazing Racer]

Pathetic from the Lions. Voss deserved better and they are actually improving

 

[Crawb]

Never wanted him appointed, wasn't even an assistant coach before he was our head coach. But he's had 5 years, we gave him more than enough time. But we've been okay recently, I doubt we'd be sacking him if we didn't have someone good lined up (Roos?)...but then again it is us....

 

[The Speaker]

Not actually too surprised by this. I suspect Brisbane have a better list than what they've shown.

 

[Sydswans0512]

Wow didn't see this coming but probably paid the price for some poor decisions years ago.

 

[cheppe89]

Haha karma bus hit him......shouldn't have made those pathetic comments earlier

 

[The Falcon Strike]

I'd be very careful driving home tonight of I was Corey McKernan

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Pathetic from the Lions. Voss deserved better and they are actually improving

It's not about Voss they have headhunted and signed a big name.

 

[Damon_3388]

Why not wait until the end of the season though?

 

[blueboy25]

I am shocked to be sitting here

 

[spark12]

Pinhead Whateley said on 360 last night he would get another 2 years, that show is outdoing itself lately, what with fanboi Throbbo and all.

Blobbo do busy getting pissed. lol

 

[Doctor Feel]

They must have a big fish sewn up, only reasoning I can see behind this. There is shit all talented, passionate and committed coaching talent around right now.

 

[the_interloper]

Culture.

 

[Martyn_30_]

It's surprising but you can't say he's done a good job, one final series in five years isn't good enough coupled with the ridiculous trading a few years ago.

 

[d-mac3276]

Brad Scott to brisbane?

What so they can lose games JUST every week

 

[SM]

I think Fremantle's list and recruitment managers would have something to do with that.

Yeah should have actually put that in my post, should clarify that, whether it was Harvey or not. Did a new recruitment manager come in when Harvey started though? Because they were shocking before he was there.

 

[thetank]

Just need Hird to get sacked and both 1996 Brownlow winners will be boned on the same day!
