Michael Voss

[Jimthegreat]

Heard on ABC radio after the Carlton game that he has been interviewed and that Carlton panel think he has been the most impressive applicant so far. Can't remember who said it, but might have been David Parkin.

He was interviewed by Carlton on July 17.

 

[Long live PAFC]

It’s fascinating.

What has Voss done or said to show that he is now ready to be a senior coach and a good one? Why would Carlton choose him? And take him over Teague or another senior assistant?

Equally why do people back Brad Scott as a coach and think he could walk away from North and into another job? And the rumour that Ken wants the Carlton job and is being considered for it are equally incredulous.

 

[Power Raid]

how far away is mitchell from a senior gig? is it possible he take the helm at the hawks, then clarkson to the blues?

 

[Butters Made Me Do It]

It’s fascinating.

Ultimately Carlton have to pick someone, and every candidate is trying to prove they deserve a shot - to Carlton, not the media. Maybe Vossy has some sweet gameplan we don’t know about.

 

[Iwish]

There is no way voss gets the gig. Its a smokescreen from carlton. I think they have their new coach. And its either clarko, lyon or even ken. I never thought they would sack bolton without having a coach aready earmarked. Judds coments a couple of weeks ago regarding not wanting a coach on training wheels was a give away. Clubs do this all the time in 2014 the crows intervied a couple of candidates when all along they had walshy stitched up. Wouldnt suprise me if its clarko.

I hope someone has bumped this thread because it has been announced that Voss is leaving?

Last year Alistair Clarkson committed to Hawthorn until the end of 2022 and has since said, 'I will never walk away from my deal with Hawthorn'. If Carlton do decide to go with Clarkson and he decides to go, and it cannot be ruled out completely, Carlton will have had to pay out any residual on Bolton's contract, then possibly pay out any break clauses in Clarkson's existing contract with Hawthorn, then pay an attractive salary for the most successful Coach in the AFL. That could prove a very expensive exercise.

Paul Roos has said he would be open to a mentoring role along side a new Coach so that might tempt Carlton to go with David Teague with Roos as a mentor. Teague has done pretty well and appears to have the players playing for him. It would certainly be a cheaper option than trying to poach Clarkson.

Voss is hardly 'on training wheels' either. He was head coach at Brisbane between 2009-16. I do not care who Carlton appoint as long as it is either Hinkley or Voss.

[Ford Fairlane]

Roos could mentor Teague to do bad real estate ad acting

 

[1954]

I would have thought Roos has run his race even as a mentor, but the blue baggers have shot themselves in the foot before, eg sacking the last bloke who got them into the finals and replacing him with a clearly past it malted milkhouse.

I still have visions of that Friday night game when the cameras continually showed Malthouse standing near the boundary line late in the game ranting and raving like he was an escapee from a mental home!
It wasn't a good look!

 

[El Topo]

Credible ITKs on the Blues board are reporting that Voss didn't impress and isn't a chance for the job. Sorry to disappoint!

Take Hinkley then?

Also Blues fans should be rapt that their selectors probably saw a variant of Port’s game plan and said no

 

[Long live PAFC]

What do we do with Voss? And who replaces him?

Also if he was as serious as he claims about becoming a senior again, surely you do the AFL coaches program. Maybe head over to imperial college, Harvard, Yale, etc and do one of their leadership courses.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

C4[2]Yo`DooR have you heard anything about Voss getting the Carlton job?

Figured you would be invested in this decision as a Carlton person.

I think the media blew it out of proportion (as is their job). Voss was interviewed once and wasn’t all that impressive from what I’m told, Ross Lyon was also never in the frame.

They let Voss know that they are going with Teague and will announce this on Thursday.

no they want hinkley

Whoever thought it was a good idea to get him doing TV commercials needs to be shot into the sun.

 

[melanChronic]

We need to get Voss out of the club pronto. Have had the uneasy feeling ever since we signed him that we would go nowhere until we get him off the books. Absolute fraud as a coach.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

I think Voss has found his niche this year being the coach that sits on the bench and talks to the players passing on message from players' line coaches and Ken as they come on and off the ground.

Plus we have built a midfield team that plays a hard ball contested game like he used to play. So he has plenty of experience to pass on to Ollie, SPP, Rocky, Boak, Robbie etc when they come off for a breather.

I have noticed him at the ground and also on TV barking orders from the interchange area and talking specifically to players instructing them.

Choco used to do that at Richmond. Fagan does that all game it seems at Brisbane. Clarko regularly has gone and spent a chunk of time throughout his career on the bench, but more so in the last few years when things haven't been going so well, Worsfold did it a lot this year. I was critical at the 2017 EF at the game when we went into extra time and Ken went up to the comfort of the box rather than stay on the bench and talk to his young inexperienced players.

Voss is credited with getting the Resilience Project and director Hugh van Cuylenburg to Port Adelaide after he come back with Ken from USA on their professional development study trip in October 2018, that Chris Davies set up and insisted they go on, and they came back talking about building greater connections between players and building resilience.

Port Power and mind power: Travis Boak’s transformation - TRP@HOME

For Travis Boak, Port Adelaide football club’s champion midfielder, 2019 was a year of profound epiphanies.

For Travis Boak, Port Adelaide football club’s champion midfielder, 2019 was a year of profound epiphanies. By including a mental exercise alongside his physical workouts, he began to feel an intense sense of joy and happiness both on and off the field. His new emotional elixir was the daily practise of gratitude.

“I found an article online about (Richmond footballer) Dusty Martin and how he was using gratitude journals. I was really impressed by how Dusty was talking about how it helped him, so I was interested in giving it a go.” Travis explains.

Travis ordered The Resilience Project’s wellbeing journals mentioned by Dustin. “At this stage I didn’t know anything about gratitude or mindfulness, and I didn’t meditate. I ordered the journal online and didn’t really understand what it meant”.

Coincidentally, Port Adelaide assistant coach Michael Voss had also heard about The Resilience Project and invited Founding Director, Hugh van Cuylenburg to chat to the players.

and he seemed to drive this stuff at both preseason camps in 2018 and 2019 up on the Sunshine Coast first at Noosa and next year was Maroochydore, which was reported in the Tsier last December.

Connection has become an AFL buzzword in recent seasons.

Damien Hardwick’s Richmond has tapped into it better than any club and it has won two of the past three premierships.

Port senior assistant Michael Voss, who helped again organise the camp, instigated the focus on care for one another at last year’s expedition to Noosa.

He believed continuing to build relationships was incredibly important, particularly with seven new players and two new coaches at the club. Port’s inconsistent 2019 campaign, which ended with an 11-11 record and without finals for the second consecutive year, also suggested there were gains to be made.
.....

Two special guests also shared their experiences about dealing with obstacles: Michael Groom and Hugh van Cuylenburg.

Groom is an Australian mountain climber who has scaled the world’s five highest peaks without the aid of bottled oxygen. In 1996, he was in a group where four people died up Mount Everest during a blizzard but he used his climbing experience to survive and help ensure others did too.

Van Cuylenburg is the founding director of the Resilience Project, which provides positive mental health strategies while focusing on principles of gratitude, empathy and mindfulness.

Along with connection, resilience was the camp’s other major theme.

I suspect like Boak, Voss has had a couple of epiphanies, firstly the professional development stuff he did in USA in October 2018, then June/July last year when he went for the Carlton job and apparently did poorly.

Maybe that experience said he isn't going to be the main man or the main strategist, but his skills in being able to communicate with the players are better used on game day. Boak this year a few times (the Burgo and Dr Peter Brunker podcast interview stand outs) has said that Ken makes very few changes during a game and leaves it up to the players to adjust to the way the game is panning out.

Maybe this is where Voss being on the bench communicating directly with the players is using his greatest strength.

Fagan has come out and admitted that he leaves the strategy to the guys in the box and his job is to talk to his young side and talk them through what they are doing well and what they aren't and have to improve on during the game.

Part of good leadership is finding out where people's best talents lies and then sticking them in jobs that allow them to better use those talents. I wonder how much Chris Davies had to do with this realignment of Vossy's role.

Yep. It seems perfect to me. Voss trikes me as a better on field leader than coach and now we are using his strengths in a valuable way.

Excellent post. I also noticed that Charlie mentioned Hugh being great for him while he was struggling a bit mentally with his injury and some off-field stuff. I feel like we have really got the whole coaching and development group working well to their individual strengths. Last year there were a few comments that coach A didn't get along with coach B etc. but if what Tredrea said is true, that they have taken pay cuts so that the group can stay together, that's a good sign. I don't know how much influence Davies has over that sort of stuff, but he has really impressed me this year too.

Perhaps the issue hasn't been Voss, which was a long held belief by myself. Perhaps it was the character of the players.

The Port players who were moved on, were mostly overly sensitive guys. The guys who stand tall today, come across as confident lads capable of a "barking Voss".

Perhaps we've just hardened up

I have noticed him at the ground and also on TV barking orders from the interchange area and talking specifically to players instructing them.

Choco used to do that at Richmond. Fagan does that all game it seems at Brisbane. Clarko regularly has gone and spent a chunk of time throughout his career on the bench, but more so in the last few years when things haven't been going so well, Worsfold did it a lot this year. I was critical at the 2017 EF at the game when we went into extra time and Ken went up to the comfort of the box rather than stay on the bench and talk to his young inexperienced players.

Voss is credited with getting the Resilience Project and director Hugh van Cuylenburg to Port Adelaide after he come back with Ken from USA on their professional development study trip in October 2018, that Chris Davies set up and insisted they go on, and they came back talking about building greater connections between players and building resilience.

Port Power and mind power: Travis Boak’s transformation - TRP@HOME

For Travis Boak, Port Adelaide football club’s champion midfielder, 2019 was a year of profound epiphanies.

For Travis Boak, Port Adelaide football club’s champion midfielder, 2019 was a year of profound epiphanies. By including a mental exercise alongside his physical workouts, he began to feel an intense sense of joy and happiness both on and off the field. His new emotional elixir was the daily practise of gratitude.

“I found an article online about (Richmond footballer) Dusty Martin and how he was using gratitude journals. I was really impressed by how Dusty was talking about how it helped him, so I was interested in giving it a go.” Travis explains.

Travis ordered The Resilience Project’s wellbeing journals mentioned by Dustin. “At this stage I didn’t know anything about gratitude or mindfulness, and I didn’t meditate. I ordered the journal online and didn’t really understand what it meant”.

Coincidentally, Port Adelaide assistant coach Michael Voss had also heard about The Resilience Project and invited Founding Director, Hugh van Cuylenburg to chat to the players.

and he seemed to drive this stuff at both preseason camps in 2018 and 2019 up on the Sunshine Coast first at Noosa and next year was Maroochydore, which was reported in the Tsier last December.

Connection has become an AFL buzzword in recent seasons.

Damien Hardwick’s Richmond has tapped into it better than any club and it has won two of the past three premierships.

Port senior assistant Michael Voss, who helped again organise the camp, instigated the focus on care for one another at last year’s expedition to Noosa.

He believed continuing to build relationships was incredibly important, particularly with seven new players and two new coaches at the club. Port’s inconsistent 2019 campaign, which ended with an 11-11 record and without finals for the second consecutive year, also suggested there were gains to be made.

Two special guests also shared their experiences about dealing with obstacles: Michael Groom and Hugh van Cuylenburg.

Groom is an Australian mountain climber who has scaled the world’s five highest peaks without the aid of bottled oxygen. In 1996, he was in a group where four people died up Mount Everest during a blizzard but he used his climbing experience to survive and help ensure others did too.

Van Cuylenburg is the founding director of the Resilience Project, which provides positive mental health strategies while focusing on principles of gratitude, empathy and mindfulness.

Along with connection, resilience was the camp’s other major theme.

I suspect like Boak, Voss has had a couple of epiphanies, firstly the professional development stuff he did in USA in October 2018, then June/July last year when he went for the Carlton job and apparently did poorly.

Maybe that experience said he isn't going to be the main man or the main strategist, but his skills in being able to communicate with the players are better used on game day. Boak this year a few times (the Burgo and Dr Peter Brunker podcast interview stand outs) has said that Ken makes very few changes during a game and leaves it up to the players to adjust to the way the game is panning out.

Maybe this is where Voss being on the bench communicating directly with the players is using his greatest strength.

Fagan has come out and admitted that he leaves the strategy to the guys in the box and his job is to talk to his young side and talk them through what they are doing well and what they aren't and have to improve on during the game.

Part of good leadership is finding out where people's best talents lies and then sticking them in jobs that allow them to better use those talents. I wonder how much Chris Davies had to do with this realignment of Vossy's role.

Ollie was interviewed on 360 last night and was asked about the connection that the players have this season. He mentioned that they've been doing regular sessions (going back to the pre-season camp in Qld) on opening up to each other about personal stuff and being vulnerable and mindfulness... and not just the players and coaches but all-of-staff.

Whatever it is they're doing, it's working.
