Bluemour Melting Pot XXXII - Reaching fever pitch! 🔥 🔥 🔥

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Then we get Voss, who did worse. Teague at least had our 2nd best results this century, even if the bar was low. Probably shows the issue is the culture and not the coach. Maybe look at the playing group and their lack of real effort with a number of coaches. Does a coach no good. If you're getting Voss then you may as well have kept Teague. Another year of Teague, if he struggled again, meant we would have more choice of experienced coaches, including Clarko. Voss is the Bradbury, as if the Scotts, or Buckley, for example, were available, Voss wouldn't have got a look in. If he does well, great, happily eat the humble pie, but if he struggles then we watch the likes of Clarko go other places while we have Voss. We looked for experience and it is ironic the 5 years of failure at Brisbane was the thing that got Voss over the line ahead of Kingsley.

Teague had a list that is supposed to be (and should be) pushing for finals.
Voss had a team that was bottoming out.

Teague 42% win/loss vs Voss 40% win/loss.
Voss had the same amount of wins or more in a season in 3 out of his 5 years.

Not that it really matters, but Sayers email spoke of 4 candidates interviewed. Obviously Kingsley 1 of them. Just wondering who the other 2 may have been. But as I said, doesn't really matter. I will be 100% supportive of Voss and his team. Looking forward to 17... Do it Michael and silence the doubters...

Other 2 are out of Gia, McQualter, Pyke

Stocker 2024…only difference being Stocker will look a 100 x better doing it!!!

 

[zeggie]

Any word on assistants TRP???

How DARE you speak to the ITKs directly

 

[zeggie]

Blimey Gerard Whateley has well and truly changed his tune on the Blue boys now...

He's completely unwatchable and unreadable. It's like he's trying to emulate Slobbo at the moment.

 

[Ash24]

Vossy speaks so bloody well. He's a no nonsense kind of guy, yet still seems like a very caring character.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Voss and no assistants. Brilliant off season.

What are you going to whinge about once the assistants are named?
I just want a heads up, so I can prepare my reply in advance.
Cheers.

 

[thylacine60]

Just hope they stay off the Westgate today...

Extreme way to show how scared of needles you are.

 

[slashin_velvet]

Very much sounding like were going with (Name rhymes with Loss)

Officially an ITK now - thanks everyone for your support!

I shouldn't be surprised that we chose someone whose qualifications seem to be based on their ability to play footy when they were younger.

Congratulations Michael Voss! Welcome to the Baggers. Looking forward to good times ahead now that we have a great CEO and Senior Coach at the helm. Bring on 2022!

First thing Voss should be doing is identifying which players won’t go in as hard as he did.

After the first training session, those guys are out the door.

nek minnit 97% of our playing list delisted

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

So hold up. Clarko no longer a chance?

Voss took the job knowing that if Clarko sneezes, he's out of a job.
He's just happy to getting another chance to be head coach because he was so so so terrible at Brisbane.

Feel very safe with Sayers around.

Cook: My discussions with Clarkson was wide-ranging, wasn't just about coaching.

Ha! Here's my take...

Cook: Clarko, do you wanna coach the Blues next year?
Clarko: No
Cook: Are you sure?
Clarko: Yes
Cook: Is that a yes, you're sure? Or yes, you want to coach Carlton?
Clarko: Yes, I'm sure
Cook: You're REALLY sure?
Clarko: Yes
Cook: Wait, yes what?
Clarko: Jesus, Cooky. I am NOT coaching Carlton next year.
Cook: OK. No need to get angry. I get the message. Enough about that. How's the family?
Clarko: They're fine
Cook: Good to hear, family is important. But are you REALLY SURE you don't wanna coach us next year?
Clarko: FFS, BRIAN!
Cook: OK, I get it. Fine, fine. All right, I'll let you go. Have a great weekend... Anyway, I gotta ring up SportsBet....Vossy is still paying $1.90...

There’s a sense of confidence in having these three gentleman at the helm of the club.

good times ahead.

Agreed...

He’ll want to have his Dan Murphy’s loyalty card up to scratch if we start losing every match though

 

[Brezsa]

I was in the I don’t know group wasn’t upset but wasn’t excited. I’ve flipped, he talked well clearly has a Carlton passion from when he was a kid & if Parko says that he is the best option, who am I to question anything that man does.

I bow down to our new coach

 

[Ash24]

I'm coming back to this post in August next year... we will finish top 6 in 2022.

Haha he did just address that expectation...

Just like Brendon Bolton yeah?

 

[BlueTang]

Finally we have a coach! I know nothing about selecting them, but the group who choose Voss have always seemed like great operators from a far, I hope they made a good call and we are on to our 17th!
Good luck Vossy!
