You assume or suspect  "he is not resonating", you don't know it to be fact.
Only have to watch football and look at the results. Pretty easy for most to work out. 11 wins from 38 probably tells a story in itself. Take the agenda away and you will see that. In the end it is wins and losses. That's the best story. Can't be argued.
All opinion not factual. The above opinion might be shared by many, doesnt make it fact.

Jimbo, how many results would be turned simply by kicking straighter at goal?
Vossy isnt kicking the ball, nor is he picking the guys who is kicking the ball.

Suddenly you see how wins and losses is more than just the coach.
Past history should tell you that changing the coach hasnt solved our problems, so why do you think this is any different?

In fact his results are in line with the strength of the list we have.

I predicted a down year and told everybody to prepare for some poor results. After the chicken little / sky is falling jibes stopped, even my expectations have been let down. None pf our recruits have loved up to expectations and none cone close tp covering what we lost in the off season.

So why is vossy to blame if those things are outside his control?

We've won 11 from  38. Sometimes you time up simply up and his message isn't resonating anymore. Gave us a thrill for 2 years and 16 games,  and may have got a flag in 2023 if we didn't have to go to the Gabba or we went to Ed's place 5 weeks earlier, but once you've stopped resonating with the players with you message, that it's. Happens to many coaches, some after 5 years, some after 15 years. Hardwick worked that out in his dying days at Richmond and was smart enough to get out. When your times up, your times up.

we've appointed a list manager as boss.

We've seen this before with ratten. 

Our club was once known as the professionals. We've been asleep at the wheel since dick pratt died. 

Sure sack the coach, our problems run deeper, and we'll be here in 5 years again.

Agree and standing front and square IMO is Voss. Considering he coaches from the bench (or plays solitare on his laptop from the bench) you seriously would have to be brain dead to not pick up on the young man's condition. Lij has a history of substance abuse and yet our head coach is oblivious to his state till half-way through the last quarter. Any half component coach would have looked into his state when the stats said he was zero touches in a half and if he did that but didn't notice then he should resign. 

Yet another cross against him and hopefully the final nail and he is not up it like many on our list.

Chalmers buying votes by allowing workers to claim $1,000 in deductions without any receipts needed. Labor just cant stop spending and adding to inflation and high debt levels.

Robert Heatley Stand / VFL Rd 5 2026 Carlton vs Tasmania in Hobart
Last post by crashlander -
Saturday night at 19:05 in Hobart.
Couldn't be further away from the seniors.
Not sure what our team will look like, but I strongly doubt that any of the Senior's emergencies will play.

I'd say there will be a pretty strong VFL contingent playing this week.

Huge amount of unsold apartments on the market in Melbourne but apparently there's a housing shortage....shortage appears to be in five bed five bath two media rooms fully furnished places walking distance from "in" locations for under 300 grand.
