True , but i reckon all Clubs break there word when it suits them . Its not like we are orphans in that regard . But for some reason we are the ones to cop the flack for it . Geez there are plenty of hypocrites in the AFL industry .

No, he isn't saying it's about optics, he's saying we shouldn't sakc out of general frustration and without a clearly articulated plan. I would even argue that going the sakc would be the optical (not optimal!) solution because it's meat to the segment of the fanbase that demands actions and apportioning of blame.

I have no issue with an extra year of Voss even if he turns out not to be the right man. There are deeper issues with the playing group - in terms of attitude, resilience and profile - that IMO aren't going to be resolved overnight by a coaching change. So let's reduce the adjacent volatilities and work through a plan to build a team that is available and capable of modern football.

But the guy that's tasked with recruitment keeps picking players that can't kick... how can we trust him again?

that's because Malthouse and Pagan especially did so much harm to our club. unintentional I'm sure, but they were yesterdays men signed up for huge money and the Messiah complex that happens around Princess Park guaranteed major long term disappointment for all Blues supporters.

We added the extra 's' when we went woke

I just want to note that both defeated coaches from the prelim ascribed their loss largely to being smashed in contest and clearance at stoppages.
So, for all the emphasis on transition, maybe Voss does know what he’s talking about?

I am not saying we should ignore transaction - it is the main area we need to improve esp into the forward line.
However, while I am critical of Voss in aspects of our game plan, I did find it interesting what Sam Mitchell and Fly said in the post match press conferences.

You can’t accept he has been thoroughly evaluated after much ridicule from the hecklers in the stadium and judge and jury have found him innocent of your charges.

Give him a fair go.

The only obvious issue we had in 2025 was injury/ underdone players. All other accusations have been merely speculation or hype which turned into hysteria.

TDK also didn’t help our cause, and spoiled the team spirit with the worst kept secret in history

It’s now time to focus on what we have on our list and filling in gaps. Judging the kids, and targeting trades.

The gap we have had since Jones left was CHB which SOS filled for only 10 games, then HOF went down with an ACL. Ruck May also be an issue next year, unless HOK comes on quicker than ruckmen traditionally take to get up to speed. Vossy can’t expedite that, but he can certainly change things up along with list manager to improve our prospects. Why not?

Vossy IS our coach in 2026. You gotta live with that. Taking pot shots for another 12 months isn’t good for your health, nor fair after we all agreed Wright knew what he was doing, and he’s made his decision.

Not sure we all agreed to anything as I lost belief in the messiah complex 20 years ago. Proof will be in the pudding but until then, I’m sceptical. No faith left.

No doubt. Contested is still the key but kicking inside 50 to 1 v 3 and no run and carry is not.
Blaming the players and not the system is a cop out.
