What's the point of potting Voss or claiming someone else was almost our coach? Voss is our coach.
How about backing him in? At least wait till there's some data to judge.
He's currently the oy Carlton coach who's undefeated. Is that worth anything or not?
Maybe wait till he's coached a couple of games before making sweeping statements.
That was a nice read Coona. Looking forward to next season. I am actually excited about the Voss, Williams, Cook, dynamic has a good feel about it for some reason that I can't put my finger on but I didn't get with the past two regimes. Probably the experience across the board. It seems a very level headed, engaged and excited management / coaching group. Don't think we can underestimate the Cook appointment.Voss is now a very experienced coach. He is a champion of the game, somewhat under rated by many when comparative discussions of past champions come up. Despite being seduced by the quick fix (and realistically, do we know if it was MV or senior management who chased Fev and co.?) he actually coached Brisbane better than history gives him credit for. Nine seasons and a lot of learnings later, please do not doubt his ability to operate “unsupervised” as head coach.
We have put together a very experienced group of assistants, all with plenty of strings to their respective bows. Diesel Williams is taking a hands on role overseeing our footy department and can be a sounding board. I dare say his lack of humility won’t allow Diesel to be backward in coming forward should there be a need. Then there is CEO Cook, arguably the highest profile man manager in the footy world who is now running the whole shooting match.
Vossy is fine, we don’t need to concoct some Mickey Mouse outside mentorship for him. We have moved on from the training wheels across the footy department and the wannabe omnipotent Marketing Manager come CEO removing all obstacles to his empire while surrounding himself with pliable yes men opposed to leaders and achievers.
This board needs to dump the negativity and doubt. We are on the way back. The bonus is that with the talent and now reasonable level of experience we have, that journey back is a relatively short one. Be patient for a couple of months and enjoy the ride thereafter.
I've been given more leeway? What, you are suggesting I should be punished for posts which are critical of the club? Funnily enough I've been banned twice in recent months so that's probably an indication that I'm not getting any special treatment. Who decides that one poster or group of posters deserve more or less "leeway" because of their stance or view anyway? One thing I know for sure - it certainly is not you.
Lumped in with the naysayers? So you are saying critical posters should be categorised and victimised for having an opinion or posting information? When were you appointed to fulfil this role? Without reading the site rules, I'm just going to guess that you haven't indeed been appointed to the poster categorisation management position and take my chances that other posters might be prepared to be more open-minded rather than the Chinese-government style approach of punishing or removing the dissenters that you are suggesting.
I'm backing them all in to shine for the club.
I'm not too sure about defensive game plans....but we do have a few hard and strong players now at the club.
Im a little concerned we are going to focus too much on defence and ball movement will suffer - I just hope we can isolate H one on one like Teague did.
unless they’re the celebratory pitchforks, because we’re doing so well. Those are a thing, right?I know you mean well but gee I hope we wait more than a 'couple of games' before the pitchforks come out
We’re also in a situation where all the assistants have coached their own team.Voss is now a very experienced coach.

I think the knock on Lloyd is that he got the job because he was mates with Liddle. I think if he is still at the club at the end of this year we will know if he is competentFunny that all we heard was brad Lloyd is terrible for the club, has no idea, is a cancer etc, yet he is being praised by nearly all inside the club…
It’s reported that he has led the search for all the assistant coaches and got them over the line. Why would we then sack him?I think the knock on Lloyd is that he got the job because he was mates with Liddle. I think if he is still at the club at the end of this year we will know if he is competent
Prob leads to the point that the review was executed properly and was not just a witch hunt. It did seem Liddle and Lloyd were a two headed hydra and that was the general narrative. I was convinced Lloyd would go as well yet the fact he has stayed in the face of the review there must be quite a bit there in terms of competency / positive contribution. He does not come across as the most inspirational bloke going around, however he might have just been unable to do his job free from interference or something. Good luck to him.Funny that all we heard was brad Lloyd is terrible for the club, has no idea, is a cancer etc, yet he is being praised by nearly all inside the club…
Which was a narrative formed to explain away the existence certain factions that existed within the club a few years ago..I think the knock on Lloyd is that he got the job because he was mates with Liddle. I think if he is still at the club at the end of this year we will know if he is competent
Perhaps because not a frontline assistant or senior executive?
