Saw Chris Scott on The Front Bar a couple of weeks back and he said as much when asked about who was the best of the Lions in those years. It's strange when you think back to late last year when all the talk was about who would be coach. I wasn't sold on Voss at the time but geez he hasn't done much wrong. There's still a few things to be ironed out but when you consider the players that we've had unavailable throughout the year, it's a pretty good result to be one game off the top of the ladder. I think 11 wins is on a par with 2013 and we've still got 6 games to go.I'll put my hand up and say I was far from convinced in Voss as well.
Imo he almost single handedly ruined the lions by recruiting some over the hill bloke named fevola and sent plenty of talent packing (indirectly, or directly) as a result.
Now I still stand by that.
...and he may well do the same thing here if/when given the opportunity. However, I'd like to think he has learned from those mistakes and his interaction with players seems to be proof that his focus has changed since his early coaching days.
In terms of actual coaching results, you cant really fault him.
