I think there is a difference how you speak to senior players, when and where you do it and how you speak to younger players.
If Binns wasnt following orders I would have dragged and spoken to him on the phone in private explaining why and what was expected and then later on when I did my video reviews pointing out his errors.
Binns himself said he and vossy are fine. They have had conversations after the fact and talked through everything involved.
The supporters are the ones up in arms about this, not the people involved.
Binns is a grown man, as is vossy.
Hell, I copped a few sprays in my under-age years and I wasn't the only ones on the receiving end. Sometimes you need to hear it.
Why is this such a thing with binns?
I remain highly skeptical that the typical discourse(s) conducted by supporters bears much resemblance at all to the discourse conducted by football people within the four walls. If one measures this "losing the players" by on field performance, then I guess our fluctuations under Voss are like a case of lost and found ? First half 23, lost. Second half 23, found. First half 24, found, etc.I suspect it's more likely there are factions between players than a specific issue with the coach.
Sorry but I don't buy it. I should make it clear that my ire is not directed at you.
If there are factions in our group they are enabled and driven by the culture at the club, these things do not form bottom up without some failure of governance.
I wasnt a fan of that conversation in front of the other players who were equally poor and would have preferred it was away from the cameras where people couldnt lip read. Our leaders needed spraying last game and told to play their fecking role as much as Binns imho.
Who is to say it didn't, but only 1 was caught on camera.
This week him talking with the leaders was caught on camera. Where is the same criticising of that?
I guess it's natural (I do it!) to look only at the senior listed players in the Magoos and how they're doing, with in mind who to elevate to the seniors.The VFL game was 100x more enjoyable to watch than the AFL game!
However, what is very apparent with our Magoos side is a unity. They seem to love their footy, whether VFL or AFL listed. And they don't surrender or drop their heads. Cudos to Luke P and his team.
Luke's job is real hard, he has little continuity of selection, every week he is hobbling together a group, and they all seem to buy in.
Reading Luke's comments post game it is very apparent that he reads the game well and doesn't hesitate to swing changes, which mostly seem to work. Reading between the lines, there seems to be an egalitarianism in his leadership style; he doesn't favour anyone in his comments. Any wonder there is a positive spirit with the boys.
His lads have a huge assignment this week, Brisvegas, who are 4 rungs above his boys on the Magoos ladder.
There was camaraderie and desire - watching the campo boys, saw some leadership already.
Binns after the game was asked re
Vossys spray and he said Voss has been very good for him and they had the conversation necessary etc - seemed sincere.
The camaraderie is 100% missing in the snr side
Vfl blues have won 6 of their last 8.What impressed me most was that the game wasnt going their way, they corrected their bad play and they fought tooth and nail for eek out a win. Hope the goats who played on Friday night were watching.
Fair effort considering our seniors get games.... :p
In all honesty I'm more interested in breeding a system based winning culture at this level.
-12 goals on the captain's milestone game. Crippa asked the question who's stepping up? can anyone hear any answers? Anyone?
Yes it does matter, a lot. Because he keeps picking them to play, and I am referring to senior players. As Professor noted, it's our senior blokes who are setting poor examples - poor leadership = demoralising.
Cmon mate, we made 6 changes this week. How many more can we make? You can only pick the soldiers that are fit and if we dropped everyone you and others wanted, we'd have to forfeit because we wouldn't have enough left to fill a side.
That can't fall on Voss.

It doesn't matter how good of a coach Voss is.
Our (in)ability to find a teammate by hand and foot means that every game plan will fall over.
