After the week that was mentioned about Jack and SOS and then St. Kilda, it was always going to be rough for Stephen to make his way into the rooms of an opposition club because there is intel that may get out.
They are privy to a lot of information that isnt public, and SOS was going to cop it no matter what if he was in there.
Spot on.

I probably would have said Im proud of Jack and the list I built and its great seeing the club successful now its being managed by a class operator in Brian Cook..or words to that effect.

I can't remember who, maybe someone else can, but recently an official from another club was in the rooms or at the club to support his son's. Maybe it was a boy who was drafted? In any case, nothing was said, at the end of the day, clubs are professional. The media, well someone like SOS has been around long enough to not take much notice. He has actually caused more of a drama by doing what he has done. Just a kent in my opinion, he and Ross make a good couple.
He will see his son after the game, and chat to him as a father and none of that crap will matter, and nor will it be something that causes some angst between the club and Jack.
Like I said was on a hiding to nothing.

And those who brought up that line of being unprofessional etc would be shouted down by the masses who are pointing out its a club great celebrating with his son. For that night only, he was a father, not an administrator.
SOS' biggest shortfall is also his greatest asset.....his stubborness. He used it as a footballer to ensure he wouldn't get beaten by his opponent either forward or back. Its come back to bite him post career with his falling out with the club.....twice.
Nobody is perfect. Majority would NOT have done what SOS did (or didn't do) but thats what makes SOS, SOS. Take him as he is, warts and all.

Not sure if he was acting or genuinely saw things he liked, but Voss seemed rather upbeat in the post match.

I reckon he may have been a bit apprehensive coming into the game.
He probably hoped for a good showing, maybe even a win, but in the back of his mind he would probably have been thinking the worst thing that could happen to start the season would be a five or six goal loss.
It would kill expectations and have us on the back foot to start the year.
Richmond went in as favourites, despite the hype around us, they're a good side who will likely be there at the end of the year.
There may even have been an element of relief from Voss in the post match.
"That's out of the way, there's a few things to work on, but lots of positives and improvement to come as well. We didn't play to our best but we still didn't lose the game."

I know he works at another club but it’s your son mate.Indeed, this is something I hope Stephen will look on with shame. It was a very special thing, the first person to have 3 generations of player to play 100+ games at the same club. I'm not surprised Jack wasn't happy. It was a very puny thing to do. I expected Stephen to be bigger than that for his son.
