Coach Welcome to Carlton Travis Boak

[The Bighouse]

Importantly, he said that Vossy took it upon himself to then go away and improve, develop and adapt - improving his relationship and ability as a coach.

Which lead to improved performances and a Ollie Wines Brownlow IIRC

The discussion at 1:40 is actually alarming
Voss had been a senior coach at that point, Boak was a captain
After a YEAR they had a discussion about not getting what Voss meant as a coach

I tend to agree with the concerns.

As an old fart, I have always prescribed to the theory that REAL leadership is instinctive rather than learned. Genuine empathy, motivation, problem solving are inherent qualities. Granted aspects can be learned, I don’t have issue with “middle managers” being created leaders, but absolutely believe high level managers (coaches) must have natural instincts and values. It needs to be second nature rather than a detailed analysis that turns a group of individuals in to a team.

I remain very respectful of M.Voss, but remain unconvinced he is the right man for the job. The significant rider is that in this day and age, it often takes significant insight to sort the wheat from the chaff. So many are conditioned to talk the talk, but precious few can walk the walk.

I am so very hopeful that Wright and Davies have the required nous to identify the necessary traits. (I will be extremely happy if Vossy can measure up and lead us where we need to go, I remain fearful that like a talented playing list, he has just enough to keep us in contention, but not those few percent of intangibles)

Agree — if anything, it gives hope that he’ll actually take on Simpson’s feedback. Taking on feedback and developing is important in any role or position within any organisation, and it shouldn’t be seen as a negative.

Nice post. What level of leadership does a captain of a team that won 3 flags have?

And lauded for that leadership from within and the opposition!

Leading on field as a captain is not the same as leading as a coach
Can’t hip and should Scotty burns from the coaches box..although it would be interesting

Correct. Plenty of great onfield leaders couldn't coach a pig to be dirty.

Voss has a ton to prove as a coach. And has about 20 weeks left to prove it i think everyone would agree. For various reasons, he's been given another chance and i would think every Carlton supporter hopes he can do it.

I for one remain sceptical but hopeful.

Welcome to Travis!

What is the role - leadership?

Strange seeing him in Carlton colours but I think it's a fantastic acquisition from us.

He'll have a wealth of knowledge to help share with the club.
