Wonder if Voss will live in Adelaide or commute a la Laidley and Richardson. I think as midfield mentor he would have to live here. Does Michael have a young family?

The only commuting Richardson did was after staying an extra night after Melbourne games with the family he left behind.

Crows pinch Walsh.
Who gives a toss?
One week later -
We got Voss.
 
Who's tuning into Stoopid on 5 double cow shortly to see what they say about this major PAFC coup - I refuse to listen to that station except on rare occasions when I'm out in the car at that time of the arvo and then I prefer to listen to Triple M anyway.
 
Trade Radio talking him up, KT to be on shortly.

The following quotes are paraphrased...

Wallace (who is mates with him):

"He has learnt an enormous amount in his year off. He was initially going to have 2 years outside the system, but he loves the battle, he loves the gameday challenge. He is a competitive beast."
"It must be a generous offer".

Barratt:
"As the year progressed, his observations in the media on the fly during gameday and on political issues were spot on. He nailed them time and time again."
"When Keith Thomas, Ken Hinkley and Kochie come knocking, it's very hard to turn that down."
 
I am in shock, great great appointment.

Was this out of the blue? Coz I didn't even hear a whisper until it was a done deal. Maybe that's the way the club orchestrated it so they weren't gazumped. Good time to do it in trade week.

Either way, great outcome, I get prouder and prouder.

Welcome to Adelaide Vossy.

The first trickle of sound entered my imagination as I started to read it, then... BAM!

Stuff of nightmares.
 
oh apparently some of them are saying they didn't want Voss, bahahahaha. They must be in the denial stage.

I made this comment about McCartney, but it holds true for Vossy.

A bit upshot about taking on Vossy is that he is unlikely to be poached for a senior coaching position down the track.
 
Wow, what a great pick up! A genuine hard man on the field and a great student of the game. I always felt sorry for him for the way the Lions treated him and felt he was on the verge of making them good again. One of my favourite non Port players over the years and he is going to have a big impact at Port. I sort of feel sorry for Shaun Hart now having to try and keep Ken and Vossy calm in the coaches box

I ****in love our Club.

wonder if Burgo put in a good word

Also don't forget he played in 3 premierships with our footy director one S. Hart and worked with Burgo in the TV series 'The Recruit'. No doubt he feels part of the family already.
Great move and well done to Kochie, KT, Ken H, Burgo to get someone of this ilk to our club...speaks volumes. Having coached 5 years at senior level will be of a huge benefit to all...WELL DONE

The one thing that stands out when you meet Kenny and Voss and this is what sets them apart is pure passion and the motivational effect it has on people.

Both top quality people too. Being a great motivator and a shit bloke can have disastrous effects.

See: J. Hird, A. Hitler.
