Firstly, I must say I don't like Michael Voss.
I find him to be an arrogant, smug, supercilious egotist, and I hope he fails as an AFL coach. So my take on his performance last night may be biased. But what was your take on his overacted performance with his tribute to Robert Harvey. Did he think he was the lead in a Shakespearan melodrama or what. I thought I was watching King Lear for a second or two.
What was he thinking? Was he trying to win the Gold Logie?
I found his over the top effort a distraction to the tribute to Harvey who is a true champion.
I truely hope Brisbane is destined to flounder on the bottom of the ladder under his coaching.
I would lik to hear the boards thoughts.

I loved the actions he performed while he was talking - pretending to weave through a pack of players.

I must say his speach was better than Luke Darcy who read straight from palm cards:thumbsdown:

i was embarressed for the both of us. i think harvey was as well. Add to that the long ads, the one hour gap between the red carpet and the start, the annoying opening with kate cebrano and that irrelevently long section about grass roots footy AND the round 2/1 debacle, AND bartel not winning or even getting close. Ok i'm done. Very disapointing couple of hours.

I reckon the slime dodged a bullet by Voss not taking up his post. The man is a tampon...
was a great player though. Does that mean you have to be a stuck up **** to win a premiership ???

Liked Voss as a player, don't mind him as a commentator, better than many of the mugs doing the rounds. As for coaching, we'll see ... but that Harvey thing I no like. What he said was OK, but the theatrics ... my my.

After seeing his speech i definitely think we dodged a bullet when he took the Brisbane job.

Next year, he will probably address his players at 3/4 time in games that they are losing by saying "When i was playing AFL....."

Feel sorry for Harvey. Should have been someone close to Harvey to make the speech.

After a couple of minutes I changed channels until it was over, Harvey must have felt awkward.

The only thing worse than an idiot, is an idiot given power to make decisions

To be fair he probably learnt all he could from Woosh in the job interview

"I know let's push Hunter forward, and the back... yes... genius! And don't forget the drugs, the piles and piles of drugs!" :eek:

Lol, I could picture him saying that. He is a horrible speaker and was embarassing to watch. I wanted to turn the T.V off but couldn't look away.

What does any of that have to do with Voss making an arse of himself on national television?

I'm looking forward to more of the same from him next year, minus the dinner suit and kenny G sax solo.
