Open Mike

[Interceptor]

Pretty sure he wasn't Victorian to begin with though.

Yeah you're right, started in WA but played only 4 games before establishing himself in Victoria.

No comments on the Vossy open mike? Mustn't have been very good then...

 

[Super Hans]

Was one of the worst ones I reckon. Didn't even get asked about 04, focused way to much on his coaching.

It was far too short and there is discussion on the club board. It's hard for me to be objective as I am a one eyed Voss fan. In reality it didn't tell us much that we didn't already know. The playing aspect of his career was cut short and questions were spliced over each other when you wanted to hear more - particularly around Aker.

Could have been much better and was poor in terms of the way it was edited.

Watching some of that gameday footage makes me want to get the DVDs out

 

[The King!]

I felt like voss was only ever coach of brisbane and didnt play much, felt it glossed over the playing career too much

 

[Ian Dunross]

If he's not a premiership coach in waiting, then Melbourne aren't an embarrassment to the game.

Voss interview was close to the worst Open Mike..... No real answers and not much on his playing career

Premiership coach in waiting? Surely he's done as a coach. There aren't many coaches who have been given the arse, not coached for a year, then got another senior gig again. Malthouse is one but he had runs on the board as a 3 time premiership coach.

And not every gun player makes a good coach - Watson, Primus, plus others that escape me.

i think he would be good for a club that was prime for a flag don't think he is suited for rebuilding a club.

Like the Buckley open mike to much time on coaching and not enough on the playing side. Almost like the grand finals never happened, could of gone for another 15 minutes easily.

The interview ran well and i think he answered everything 100% honest just the main focus was in the wrong areas.

True. Maybe I'm being nostalgic, but he reminds me of those motivational coaches ala Sheedy, Blight, etc who commanded respect but also created belief.

By the sounds of things, there was lots going wrong at Brisbane. Given that, his coaching record was pretty decent. I think he could do well at a well resourced club.

No disrespect to Buckley or Worsfold, but I think the difference b/w Voss and these two is that they worked at power house clubs with all the resources and good administrations.

 

[Father Jack]

It was a deplorable way for a club to treat a favourite son, tell him to rebuild and then when he does, sack him for not winning a flag

 

[Beerfish]

Some of his answers to Mike's questions about his coaching seemed like corprobabble.

Also had to laugh when he said something like "One of the things people don't mention when they're talking about how good I was is.."

 

[FRUMPY]

With the Voss interview, as the coaching job was so fresh its understandable the interview covers alot o that. that bit was boring. i liked his playing days bit.

Interesting to hear about Walls and how tough he was (i had already heard this but its still interesting) but how he turned voss into the hungry player he turned out to be. Stopped him in his tracks when he had a go at him for not becoming the player they thought he could be.

Voss spoke well and was honest. Interesting that he was offered $100k a year from collingwood at a very young age (17?). Would have been nice to hear about the early days at brisbane then into the three peat and how it evolved.

My question for Nixon would've been 'why are you such a campaigner?' And I'd just repeat it over and over till we ran out of time.

 

[UpForGrabs]

Next week is Brent Guerra.

I think we may have reached the bottom of the barrel, folks.

First question should be how do you feel knowing I had Ricky Nixon on before you?

 

[jimbler]

Why is he going to be on? Is he about to take up a commentary role at Fox?

Are they going to spend 30 minutes talking about his rug, or what it was like to be the oldest looking young bloke in the AFL?

 

[vaughany]

Why Guerra ?

Imagine questions going along...
* What was it like being drafted interstate?
* What was it like being delisted twice?
* How did you manage to butcher the 04 Prelim?
* What are your thoughts on the bump rule?
* Tell us about your days at Hawthorn
* How is your coaching career going?

I tend to think Voss will be a very good, very great coach the second time around.

Can talk about the rug.
