No surprise there

Wonder if the rumours in the Vic media were true


There were plenty of rumours about when he missed parts of the season due to personal reasons
Had a pretty big tiff with Charlie too it seems.

Disappointed for Harry, did well in a number of VFL games, got a feeling he might get an opp elsewhere, not too many 200cm forwards lying around. You have to question Calrton's development of kids.


Lemmey got unlucky he would've played at other clubs. I heard whispers that the head coach barely talked to him in the three seasons and at one point didn't know his name

Kicked 7 goals mid year against Sydney and then kicked 8 more in his next 3 games, that was the time to see if he could make the jump to the next level.

Have any decent kids come through at Carlton since Walsh?

He was and is a gun

But like Reid and Rowell, they were so good in the first years it’s hard to improve year in year out

I heard a rumour from Melbourne earlier this year that Curnow was 'uncoachable'. I recall one instance where he burnt TDK (ironically) in the corridor and had a shot for goal and didn't even look to apologise. Remembering, last year, we ditched Owies for a similar reason.

So, if that's true, and Wright is putting Voss's coaching career on the line, is it better to have someone who will play to the game plan, so we can truly assess Voss. If he's in the position of coach and we put the right people around him and he fails, then at least we know. Till then, we have no idea.

I think the idea is - put the best people around Voss. If he fails, we move him on. If he does well, then we keep. The other factor we need to keep in mind here, is the fitness factor. If all our squad is fit, then we should be competing for top 6.

As far as Hollands is concerned, I feel the same has been told to him. Shape up or ship out. Seriously, who would take him on given his current circumstances? His stock levels are low.
