    12 months ago I would have understood. Why now?

    Club must surely have someone lined up.

    He had a contact last year, he's out of contact in 3 weeks.

    Is it a sacking? He's contract is not being renewed. We did the same to Eade.

    Eddie McGuire saying AFL giving Brisbane $3.5million, and would have approved sacking...

    Why can't we get $3.5million???

    Voss should have implemented an illegal supplements program. Fans and club might have rallied around him.

    Yes not a sacking, just not renewing his contract.

    Normally it's an over reaction to say a coach has been sacked when in fact the contract has simply not been renewed but I think the difference here is that there appears to already be someone else in the mix. If that is the case, then Voss has been sacked.

    In my opinion Eade wasn't sacked, the position was opened up for candidates to apply.

    Talk of Roos a possible as he was spoken to by Brisbane earlier in the year. If I was Roos, Brisbane would be more palatable than Melbourne.

    Must say, I was shocked to learn of this tonight. Brisbane haven't had a great year but I feel they have some good young talent there now and look like they can move up the ladder over the next few years.

    As others have suggested, it seems as though there must be another arrangement in place - that's the only way I can see the sense in the decision.

    Could Vossy be someone worth looking at for an assistant role?

    Could be time to swoop on some disgruntled Brisbane players. I'm sure plenty of them idolised Vossy and would be pretty upset he's been given the arse.

    Roos fits with Brisbane. The old Fitzroy connection.

    Reports up here that there was a risk of a mass player walkout had Brissy not sacked Voss.
