Coach Michael Voss

[The Blue Weirdo]

Cooky should be/would be persuading all staff to restrain their financial demands.
It's been made public that several key players have recently sacrificed money in exchange for long term team success.

Having said that, maybe Voss is currently underpaid and deserves an increase? Who Knows?

Yeah, who knows. Reckon it wouldn't be a straight forward negotiation. The soft cap restrictions would create some juggling. Pretty sure Voss would be aware of that.

 

[gbatman]

Our soft cap probably has room. Think about it, who in our football department is an elite high profile person we have had to spend to get? Russell? Most assistants come from failing clubs. Can't think of huge names in recruiting and medical, probably all on average money. Assistants are probably on below average money. Voss wanted a senior job, we were the one he could get so money is probably not huge.

If his manager is aware (and they will be) and Voss' stocks are up (which they are) then now is the time to ask.

Club makes an offer, manager counters, Moroccan market haggle, deal gets done

 

[BigLarry76]

Voss has gotten us in to a position where we’re being touted as premiership favourites, let’s hope we can deliver and embrace the external expectations. I’ve got a close confidant who is an ex-Carlton player, I’ll be grabbing Grandfinal tickets early this year let me tell you.

The burning question Voss kept asking during Blues' slump

Carlton's mid-season form slump had many questioning whether Michael Voss was the man to lead the club, but after a now famous run through to the preliminary final, he's ready for whatever this season throws at him

Vossy - 2 year deal
Cook - extends for another year.

Announcement soon

Great stability off field

 

[carlton_99]

 

[Jatz]

Any reason why Cook only extended a year? Would love him around for another 5 to be honest.

Great news all the same.

 

[FitzroyBlueBagger]

Vossy 2026 extension
Cook 2025 extension

 

[Arr0w]

Lock it away before the season starts

 

[RPCB]

That is some amazing news.

Cooky is 68 now. Takes him through till he is 70. Maybe he thinks that he can have everything in place and retire?

 

[Beyond Blue]

Great news. Voss is our guy.

Meanwhile at St Kilda…

Great news all the same.

Think it was in the media at the time we were chasing Cook, that he was considering retirement.
A great effort from the club to get him over & from Cook to commit to us until the end of 2025.
Agree, would love Cook for another 5 or more.

Great stuff....

 

[Michael Jezz]

The positive about Voss extension is the club is not burdened by long term contracts. 3 years is fair to club and coach. I think Voss agreeing to just a 2 yr extension is a reflection of his confidence in delivering sustained success that will enable him to leverage a 4 or 5 yr deal at the end of 2026

 

[lily of laguna]

I like the messaging from Voss at the announcement today.

As we get closer to the pointy end of the ladder the work intensifies in gaining that last few levels of improvement.

Everyone is focused on the job at hand and are not resting on any laurels.

Voss has this uncanny ability to deliver a powerful speech without sounding at all rehearsed. It's truly a gift

Yep. His speech at last year's B&F was very impressive. A much more intelligent and articulate person than I'd realised.

Just a quality person. Helps to be authentic when delivering a speech.

Loved the way played, loving the way he is coaching and developing our list even more.
