Dancing is an undersatement
Vossy came down to the Lions as a junior under Robert Walls as a 15 year old in 1991. Let's not forget this man's 22 years of constant service to our team. I would love to see him do a lap on GF Day. I wish he had seen out the last three rounds
Leigh Matthews was a far better player and coach than your current coach.....

Worst case scenario for Melbourne. Now there is another suitor on the market, one with a better list and not as much controversy.
Will not happen as the knives are still be surgically removed from his back.

Really?
I reckon he has been white anted by Harvey and this is a plan that has been in the works for a while at board level.

Surely this is why they brought him to the club.

Gutsy call, however it was the correct call. Michael Voss has been the head coach for five seasons, and he failed to get them into the finals each year after his first year.
The results this year have been up and down. There has been no consistency, even throughout matches.

Whilst the timing is surprising, and the incoming coach will inherent an okay list, Voss was always 50/50 regardless. A bit like Harvey and even Ratten, the question of the board is if Voss can help the Lions challenge for a flag. They obviously don't think so, or can think of someone better. He had 5 years.

I'm a huge fan of your posting, you call it as you see it. Not afraid to ruffle any feathers and go against the grain of what the majority thinks.
Yes he was, but WTF does that have to do with him being a senile old fart ? As far as our current coach goes I presume you are talking about Longmire ? History will be the judge of that as Longmire is still coaching and may win more premierships at Sydney or elsewhere. History will also say that Matthews has Longmire well and truly covered for committing the most cowardly act ever witnessed on a football ground.

I likewise think he would make a great assistant coach. In fact, I think things would have worked out well for him at Brisbane had Gubby Allen not been at the club when he arrived and he had been supplied with an experienced assistant, or done a so called apprenticeship at another club.
Definitely the Lions appear to be on the right track, which needs to be attributed in part to his hard work.
He has a better football brain than most others still in the game.
Great post mate. I feel dumber for reading the posts of a lot of flogs in this thread. For all of you that will see us in the top 4 in 2-4 years, Michael Voss has built this club and this list. If Roos comes in and gets us in the top 4 next year it will be from the foundations Voss has laid. We could have easily crashed and burned to Melbourne-like levels but he never once lost the playing group. That's a massive credit when your team is so far down, to keep the effort and improvement coming. It is particularly frustrating when it's Lions supporters dancing on a legend's grave, but not to worry. Superflogs like Let's Roar Like 44 will be celebrating when we are in the finals soon, telling us about how in his fantasy world Voss set the club back 5 years, then the new coach magically made the team blossom into a high quality side. Voss has laid the foundations and we have some real quality to build on. Wish he could stay 2 more years and share in the good times, but I guess unfortunately that's never going to happen.
We should force him to see out his old contract....in the midfield.

Been telling them for 3 years Lions are going nowhere, never seen a bunch of supporters accept mediocrity as much as Brisbanes. Voss was a great player, we all know that, but as a coach he has been useless ever since he walked in and thought he could run the ship all by himself, and hire all his buddies to do jobs they have no idea about. Year by year, every year, the assistants would all leave, players were wanting to leave for not being in Vossys little man club. We beat GC, Melb and St K in recent weeks and suddenly we're on the verge of final's? Give me a break. Supporters should be over the moon, leave their love feast for Voss behind and think about the Club moving forward instead.

Of course I'll be celebrating when we make the finals, and when we do, people will be asking Michael who?
It's the fact that he is a Lions legend who had to leave today on those terms that is saddening.
Can't handle a bit of emotion from the supporter base? Probably shouldn't be reading this thread or the Brisbane board then.

He didnt have to leave today at all. He cracked the shits and walked out.
How did he "crack the shits"? Quotes and links please.
He just as likely may have left because he thought it was in the best interests of the club. Which you or I wouldn't be able to determine, because in reality we are going off a few online newspaper articles and assumptions.
Are you seriously going to ask "Michael who?" You are pretty ungrateful
