Yeah. He wasn’t a great bloke outside of football either.

That’s a vast oversimplification of my comment, which referred to my perception of an over emphasis of a single criteria. Not that it should be disqualifying.
I’ll stand corrected but I don’t see a coach past 2010 that won a flag with their second or later club as head coach. It’s hardly a well trod path to success in modern football.
To go through the list, if I must - of course I would have been delighted with Clarkson particularly, his credentials as a head coach are impeccable. I was never in favour of Scott. Lyon ultimately disqualified himself and while he’s no doubt a great coach his conduct over the last few weeks gives me a bullet dodged vibe. Pyke also has some learning to take on from his first gig but also had clearly more success than Voss first go around and given his role in designing and instilling an effective game style with Sydney would have been (from the cheap seats that I occupy) a safer bet with serious upside.
clearly, Voss’ credentials as a head coach are flawed. More flawed than any name you mentioned. Has he learned from that experience? He’s due huge respect for his commitment to stick with coaching despite the early flameout and he’s obviously dedicated himself to rounding his experience and skills.
time will tell, but he handled himself very well today and I feel more comfortable about it than I was prior.

Here is 1 fact that is actually true. Nobody knows how Voss is going to go. The jury is out. The facts will come by round 22 next year or maybe earlier. Everyone can say Voss is great, Voss is crap etc etc. The proof will be in the pudding next year.
I dont care what Voss says, i dont care what Cook or Sayers say. I dont care what the players say.
I have heard enough bs come out of this club to last me 30 life times.
Stop bloody talking and just do it.
Come round 22 next year the next game better be a finals game. Anything else is a fail.

I really doubt that because if that was the the case Ross would have told the whole world as much.
There was some other reason because - and I keep coming back to it - why would Lyon turn down a 4-5 year contract at $1m per year?
Either way everyone needs to accept that neither Clarko nor Lyon will coach us next season so let’s get behind Voss.
Voss comes with risks but he seems super keen and also has the sort of personality/pedigree that he has the confidence in his own ability to be a success.

Listening to Voss talk, he knows he wasn't the panels first choice, so don't think he'll come in with an ego. He will be very keen to prove himself as if he fails with Carlton, he'd be incredibly unlikely to get a 3rd attempt.

Disagree completely. I put him in the same category as SPS and Fisher. Bang average AFL footballers.

I agree. To be honest, having a go at being a head coach early, failing, and then spending the next 8 years as an assistant could be what actually makes him. My bet is that he has spent a lot of time over those 8 years reflecting on what went wrong and changing/developing/learning. He is now ready and fresh in mind and passion to go again. That is a powerful thing.
