Are you of the belief that the more you say it the more right that you have to say "I told you so" should things go badly.
It's wearing a bit thin.

yep
I liked that when asked a leading question about gameplan and defence, he spoke first about the fundamentals of a successful football side being built on 'an extremely robust contest'; and then spoke about defence. After a year of talking about goal run-ons constantly it would have been easy to give the media the answer it was looking for.
And when asked if he had any doubts about reapplying to Carlton he gave a one word answer.

Just watched his appearance on afl360. Very strong, spoke brilliantly. Spoke of his love for the Doninator and Kenny Hunter and finally getting to meet them.
I feel very comfortable.

Shall be interesting to see who he gets as assistant coaches. I guess Matthew Scarlett is available now.

oh we'll fix that.........
As far as first impressions go, he has made a very strong start. His messaging is clear, genuine and not drearily repetitive. Sayers has installed 'his' guy, so we'll see how things go.

not if you believe him...........be good though I think...........
He’s demanding “durability”…must have already done his research on half the team.
Unfortunately, he can make all the demands about durability that he wants, our players will continue to break down at the first sign of intensity... If he can change that, he is an absolute ****ing wizard.

Voss was saying that he met Kenny Hunter for the first time a couple of years ago at SEN and didn't know whether to shake his hand or give him a big hug.Might have had a word in their ear to suit up next season.
Decided on the former but wanted to do the latter.

Who the hell was the dude who popped up on the screen at around the 4 minute mark?

He didn't speak alot but that is exactly my thoughts.How self assured is Cook? Just looks like a man who knows what he's doing, and knows that he knows what he's doing ..
Gives off the perfect confident and competent without arrogance vibe.
Really, really exciting appointment

I think it also shouldn't be understated that merely going for the job with us, given his past coaching tenure, further shows what a competitive beast he is.
It would be clear to anyone that coaching at Carlton isn't an easy gig, these days. It could go so badly; we're expert coach killers. But despite that he's prepared to take the bull by the horns and give it a red hot crack, for his second chance. Kudos for mine.

Yep, most important appointment at our club. Rest assured, we wont be pushed around or treated with contempt by the AFL from this day fwd.
Norm Smith?

A text with "As a valued member of our football club, our new AFL senior coach has a message for you" and a bit.ly link to Vossy's message to membersWho received a text from Vossy
If he comes to coach us with a reputation of what Big Nick describes as a " tough bastard", I'm right behind him, and will support him to the fullest in our quest for number 17.

Not actually Brad Fisher
I'm pumped to have Vossy as our coach. Everything I've heard from him so far has been really encouraging.
I liked the dynamic I observed between he, Cook, and Sayers at the presser. There seemed to be genuine warmth, but also an agreement on high levels of professionalism, expectation, and accountability among each other. Keen to see how the vibe between those leaders influences the rest of the club.
Awesome to see another bloke get a second chance at the senior role too. The AFL is far too quick to discard good coaches and players after a bad spell.
Bring on round one.
