AFL Rd 17 2022 Post Game Postulations Carlton vs West Coast

[Thryleon]

To me, he seems to have pulled his head in considerably since those days coaching the Lions - he just displayed sheer arrogance with the signing of Fev and all the BS that followed.

I wouldn't call it arrogance.  I dont think he thought it would be easy.  It just showed how big a leap coaching can be from playing.

Fev was arguably the best key forward in the game at the time and we were cutting him loose.

Voss was only guilty of being immature and expecting that people would put aside their differences and simply fall into line behind brown. 

Why?  Because he played in a similar environment where the Indians fell in or fell out and everyone pulled together.

Odds are he knew there was trouble early and didn't know how to correct it which led to his downfall.

Its possible that this learning has been way more important than anything else he may or may not have done before or after.

Leigh matthews is regarded as a great coach, but even he struggled to coach Collingwood to anything of note in a time when coaching wasn't the caper it has become in the modern era.
