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

[Blue Flame]

Great, more Misery....

Maybe we can get Scarlett or another of King’s mates from Geelong?
Misery loves company

Greg Williams was one of the best players I ever saw, and he’s been brought in to sort out your football department as executive director

Voss was a better player and leader than diesel. He was an incredible captain and leader of men

he was thrown in the deep end and left to drown by sharks

since then he’s learnt humility, and gone back to basics. He’s been honing his craft, and has been lead assistant for a team that has been top 2 past 2 seasons (vomit)

he’s cut from the highest quality cloth, he’s learnt humility and has experience. He doesn’t seem the worst bet out there

as long as you give him a team around him, he can succeed

Goodwin was a bust, facing the sack, now his team consists of:
Darren Burgess
Alan Richardson
Adam Yze
Choco Williams etc

Voss is good enough. He won’t be the problem, but it’s a whole club that needs to lift

Fantastic post, very well put - thanks for dropping by

I laughed when some jurno kent said were u worried about going the 2nd time around when teague beat him last time. Just a straight NO

Who was that guy anyway ? Looked fresh out of college.

 

[StandByyourMan]

Damien Barrett been reading BigFooty and getting a little defensive...not resiling from his comments.
Well Purple neither are we. You really are a stupid knob.

i begrudge him oxygen.

 

[4flagsin5yrs]

Doch was one of the youngest of the "go home 5" and was more so playing reserves due to injury rather than lack of opportunity. Probably left as a result of Voss' sacking rather than Voss himself. Anyways it was a long time ago and sadly it's probably unlikely that Sam is a captain next year. Needs to focus on his health and perhaps his game.

Sam may well not be a Captain next year....

 

[Blue Reaper]

The people knocking RoyalBlues are a particularly pathetic and sad bunch, I must say.

It’s a rumour thread, take it for what’s it’s worth, a bit of fun.

Yep. Says more about the people doing the knocking than anything else.

 

[Navy_Blueblood]

I don't watch 360 often at all but tuned in for Voss. Very disappointed by the quality of the questions. I appreciate there are things that will be repeated across these types of interviews but pretty much all their questions (and Voss' answers) were the same or very similar to those in the official press conference. I was hoping for some original thinking

 

[Foucault1989]

If Voss was your neighbour and you needed a hand cutting down a tree, he would be there with bells on and have a beer with you afterwards.

Ross would close the blinds and pretend he didn't see you needing help.

Voss is therefore the right man for the job. That's the criteria they were talking about yesterday

Teague would come over, gaze at the tree, go home and talk about the learnings.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Do you know how many top 8 sides and grand finalists have bang average players in their sides that are still considered best 22?


All of them.

I could name quite a few players playing tomorrow that a fit Cuningham is better than.

Goes back to Cookies mantra of hiring for the character of the person over everything else. You can teach skills - I mean blokes like Clarko take end of year trips to learn from the best but if you don’t have the character or humility to actually take it in and know that you don’t know everything what’s the point. That’s why for mine Voss a good appointment for the club at this point. Give him a proper coaching panel like (and I hate to say it) * are putting in place and you’ll see he’ll go well.

 

[mochacinolatte]

Voss was also the midfiield coach at Port as well right? Maybe we wont get slapped up now.

Agreed. I can see Voss really mentoring and motivating our list. He has energy and charisma. I'm not a Teague basher but he didn't seem particularly inspiring.

Listening to Voss yesterday, I was kind of energised. I could see him being inspiring and instil passion and pride in the playing group, giving them a tougher more resilient edge.

Get the tacticians around him and we are onto a winner.

Go well Crazy Vossy. Go well

 

[StaggerLee]

one of the more strange suggestions I've read...............are you saying a player should only be injured in their exact selected position?

I also find it strange. If not the strangest ever

 

[Blue Runnings]

This next period is the most important and defining time for this club if we want to get back to the success we all crave. In some respects even more so than the head coach hire.

The club needs to not fail Voss as they did Teague and others. They need to surround him with high caliber assistants and a right hand man or two. Our version of Choco, if that person is out there. We have to do it in the old Carlton way, go out there and poach the best. I have more confidence this time with Cook leading the way.

Secondly we need to make some bold decisions on the list. Move on players that we don’t think will fit what we want to stand for. Even if that means making a hard call or 5. Try and get as much currency back as possible.

The next few weeks hopefully define the new Carlton, and as part of the cultural reset, what we want to be and stand for. Get back to being the greatest of them all!

Teague would come over, gaze at the tree, go home and talk about the learnings.

Then hold a presser "Yeah we came to cut the tree, but we we ended up not cutting it, so there's that, and we need to do better next time"

Neighbour: Hey Teaguey, mind helping me chop down this tree?

Teague:

 

[gadj1976]

Cunningham did his Knee in an aerial contest on the wing…would he have been in said aerial contest if he wasn’t for the role he was given on the day? No one knows but it will go down as one of the more strange moves under DT

Please pardon my ignorance but have you ever played footy?

If so, you do realise that despite 'playing wing' you might finish up in different areas of the ground at different times?

How you could possibly say that's a DT responsibility or fault, is just astounding.

 

[Faz 2000]

Neighbour: Hey Teaguey, mind helping me chop down this tree?

Teague: Look, we know we’ve got to chop down trees, but it’s just not happening at the moment. We have to get better at chopping down trees.

He's not at the club anymore so it's open slather.
Just this morning I blamed him for running out of sugar

 

[thedan29]

Teague: Look, we know we’ve got to chop down trees, but it’s just not happening at the moment. We have to get better at chopping down trees.

Teague: We want to chop our way. Once we learn to chop our way consistently we’re going to be hard to stop.

Voss was a better player than diesel.

Diesel was comfortably better than Voss as a player

 

[Large Hawaiian]

It's ok mate.

Water off a ducks back to me. None of them could kick a goal on me if I stood them at FUB and they know it.

Nope.

Yep certainly did play footy. Don’t see where I said he was playing on the wing (Contest was on the wing) Original post left enough ambiguity to not directly suggest that.

Point I was trying to make is he was given a specific role to negate Jake Levers intercept marking, when given a specific role people can “get themselves up for it” mentally. David Cuningham certainly isn’t aerially capable and found himself in that position.

Bit of a stretch? Possibly, Probably.

Get moving Carlton!
