He has publicly gone on record and said he will not be leaving Melbourne. West Coast already made enquiries and were quickly rebuked. I have heard rumblings that Melbourne may make a big play for him should they not make the eight this year.

Wayne Bennett

Better not. He's our target after Bluey!

Surely we get Hammo with his assistant coaches to be chosen from the plethora of other ‘know it all’ journos like Caro, Hutchy, Sheahan… other benefits… media/marketing – never out of the papers and all opinions to have a positive spin for a change… [ok sedate me now… ]

There might be something up with my crystal ball but I just caught a fleeting glimpse of this...Newsflash!

in a stunning turn around, the much maligned former Lions CEO Michael Bowers has returned to the club, having been appointed by the Brisbane Board to the role of Senior Coach, less than 48 hours after Michael Voss relinquished the coaching position. Bowers is reported by unnamed sources as stating that he was delighted to return to the club and in his role as senior coach he was looking forward to announcing some big name signings in coming days. Bowers was also believed to be disappointed with his final months at the Lions when in the CEO position because he was on the verge of implementing a raft of what have been described as "revolutionary developments" in the evolution of the Brisbane Lions brand, building on the universally supported and highly successful changes to the Lion's guernsey.

Fevola?

Bowers saw some market research saying focus group members like people who smile.

So he is going to recruit players on the basis of their smileyness.

Smiling players = more members. This plan can not fail!

Apparently Bowers is looking to sign Simon The Likeable. He is reported to be throwing a 5 year deal reportedly valued at 3 million dollars. Currently negotiating a trade deal with K.A.O.S.

Haven't we already got him?

We have Simon Black, who is the greatest AFL player of the last decade, but in an inspired move, Bowers is looking at moving him on next season to make room in our salary cap for his new acquisitions. According to a sources close to Bowers, Brown's position at the club is also looking shaky and Rich is GONE!

Are you suggesting Laurence Angwin and Karl Norman ecstatic/smileyness?

I have previously thought that STL would be an apt moniker for Black. Although obviously Black works for the good guys.

From what I have seen tonight, Voss's list development in the last 6 months has been very good, I truely hope they give him a 1 or 2 year extension and allow him to develop these young guys who are coming along nicely.

 

[MacMum]

Agree..

 

[POBT]

He looks to be enjoying coaching this year. Good to see.

 

[Melbourne Lion]

Yup I agree also.

I am quite comfortable with where he is at.

Not only is the development of individuals coming along nicely and us being competitive in most games this year without Brown (bar Bulldogs) is pleasing, but even in the press conferences he seems far more relaxed.

Gives off a sort of humble but in control vibe at present.

 

[TheSunGod]

I also reckon the Lions should stick with Voss. Seems to be developing the group nicely and it would be great to see history repeat in a few years with Vossy (who struggled through adversity with a young team but stayed loyal), against Buckley (who took off for the easy route to be gifted finals and premierships ), face off in another GF. Nothing better than seeing that smirk wiped off Eddie's face.

No problem child to deal with anymore.

 

[Lace Out]

His job is getting safer and safer after these hard fought losses.

You won't here a peep out of the media for quite a while

The Truth is nasty.

Saint's are a rabble and people are getting carried away thinking we have prooved something.Voss can't coach and Lions on target to have there worst start since the spoon year in 1998.They won there first game in Rnd 6 that year.We face Richmond in Rnd 6 this year which happens to be next weekend and being one of our bogey sides I guess we in for another terrible round.

I had high hopes but we could be 2.12 by round 14.Where does the buck stop for Michael Voss and his recruiting blunders if this does take place ?

You really do sound like a D grade hack Melbourne journo that doesn't support the lions sometimes mate. Wheeling out the tired old 'recruiting blunders' shit is about as creative as they get when trying to grasp for something they can attach a negative to.

So many positives early 2011, despite losses, and here you are crying about something that is bullshit, simplistic nonsense, that doesn't take into account each deal done, what we lost, what we gained, and the potential future impacts, let alone how the boys have played this year.
