My idea of a resignation is essentially when the company or club has no issue with you, they would be happy to keep you, and you leave of your own volition, without any mitigating circumstances.

I'm not sure that temporality tips the scales one way or the other. Wright and Davies made it clear they were not going to continue with Voss, and they allowed the "resignation" narrative to take center stage, as indeed they should. Allows him to exit the club with some dignity intact. I'm sure his first preference would be to receive a contract extension and finish the work he started. His 2nd preference would be what just unfolded. Our club has a pretty dismal record of treating coaches like garbage when they exit the club. At least with Voss there was a little dignity to the affair. Small mercies and all that.

A cynic might say that Voss decided to resign with the writing on the wall and ensuring that the club looked silly in the process.  Whilst Wright and Priestly looked a bit unflustered, I dont think Voss deciding to call it quits this week was part of the plan.  Perhaps we were going to let him coach out the year after all, and he was not having a bar of it.

Intent, outcome, pretty good. We were at least smarter the way we went about it. Allowed us to run out the 4th qtr after a hard match. That hasn't happened all year. Interesting!

You did watch the game against the Lions, you know a week ago!

Obviously we would have beat the Lions had Voss not coached that game.

Might have worked a bit harder in that first half rather than pressure rating of 140 to 150.

In 40 minutes, we scored 1 goal, opposition scored 3.3. Thankfully not kicking straight.

That was 1/3rd of the total game time.
Why were we so poor? What was our pressure rating then?

Can't blame Voss for that one.

Or doesn't it count this week??

If we played Sydney or Brisbane instead of an injury riddled out of form doggies, it would've been a lot worse.
Dogs last 5 games have included....
2x  10 goal losses
1x 12 point loss to freo (was 14 points for us)
1x2 point win against Port.
and a loss to us.

But it has nothing to do with their 'lack of' form, its all got to do with our interim coach.

Give it away. I see through your spin.  Spin...spin...spin!!! You use that alot.

We played 4 qtrs for the first time in ages and kept up the pressure, eventually finishing on. Knowing when to play tempo footy as seen with 124 marks, rather than play on and boot it to a contest meant we didn't die on out butt and had plenty left. Better than winning well then collapsing on a weekly basis. Clutching at 3 goals in a row to say otherwise...hahaha. That happens every week to a number of sides. We were never more than 11pts behind. We do 5+ goals on a weekly basis. We took on a decent side and beat them, remembering we were 3rd last because of your favourite coach. You mightn't like the answer but bad luck. Try your spin on others.
