Re: Voss & Blight

I actually like Buckley with special comments on Bulldogs games, i've noticed he actually makes a few valid points in relation to the Dogs.

Haven't heard the commentary from the other night, but from all reports I have read it was pretty disappointing.

Agree with this comment about Bucks - he's been very insightful I've found, enjoy listening to him.

Thanks A39 & F32. Finally got home yesterday at about 5pm. 48 hours in hospital for a broken arm!!!! He's fine, understands that there are people worse off than him.

Ouch! Were you at the Western General?
You know what happens now, he will want his plaster signed by all the doggies players.
Tell him at least he has about 3 weeks before next home game.
Hope it wasnt too bad and heals quickly.

I remember an old school friend of mine fell off his skateboard and broke both arms simultaneously putting them both out to break his fall, was quite a sight seeing him trek around school with both arms in full casts, haha.

Seems like an excessively long time to be in hospital for a broken arm though, must have been a reasonable break.

Re: Voss & Blight

I've watched 3/4 back and I just don't rate Voss at all. To use an old James Brown line he's "talking loud, but saying nothing". His continual harping about Kerr was tres annoying and he really adds little insight at any point. I'd love to see him get a coaching gig to get him off TV, but I think he'd set the GC club back years if he gets the senior gig straight up.
I echo YHF's thoughts about Daniher for West Sydney, but think he'd be a good fit for GC too although he's not a very "sexy" choice marketing wise. As for Blight, look, he's going to vary from good to bizarre but I usually find him an entertaining counterpoint to the standard stuff, he just sometimes goes a little too far left field.
I agree that our performance was basically ignored for talk about WCE and we definitely are being overlooked for the most part.

Hope the Coon Pup is feeling ok.

Re: Voss & Blight

I'm not sure if anyone saw footy confidential last night but I thought it was a bit rich coming from Garry Lyon saying that Voss needs to commit himself if his hat is actually in the ring for a coaching position or not. Lyon used to whet the media's appetite all the time about his potential coaching ambitions just to keep his name in the spotlight.
I suppose the old adage of needing to be a thief to catch a thief is very true.

I thought it was incredible coming from Garry, someone that has loved having his ego stroked for many years.

And really what Voss has said is simple, as much as they need to find out whether he is the right person for them he needs to find out whether the Gold Coast club is the right situation for him. And that could be whether they are prepared to give him as much $ as he wants and as many years as he wants on his contract. Its the normal process anybody goes through when they apply for a job and a compnay goes through when looking to hire.

TCD forgot to say hope your boy is A-OK

Glad the young Coon Pup is OK TCD. Maybe he can get some of the Dogs to sign his cast?

Re: Voss & Blight

Michael Voss is surely the emperor with no clothes. His inane, repetitive drivel- added to his stunned mullet and ill-prepared appearances in front of the statistical wide screen are down right embarrassing!!(And he knows it....) Blight reminds me of an alcohohic thespian casually reviewing a Shakespeare season he might of appeared in... 60% insightful- the rest utter self-indulgent glory days banality...

Re: Voss & Blight

Saw a bit of the commentary today. No comments about the game at all in late 3rd quarter mid 4th quarter.

Minson did an awesome tap behind to a running player and didn't get a mention.

Talking about BOG in the last. Said Cooney was just ahead of Cross but no mention of Murph. Walking out the ground i could tell Murph was BOG, more than half would have Murph top 2 in our votes, but he's not even worth a mention by 2 special comments men and a commentator who forgot to commentate.

Timbo - good to have you on board, you haven't made many posts yet but that one is utter gold

Re: Voss & Blight

Good luck to the young Pup. hope he is back on the board in no time.

I couldn't believe the fact that they where making so much of an issue of the Boyd tagging role. Boyd was fantastic and I'm sure that all players in the AFL would perfer Boyd ahead of Josh Carr, Baker ect.

Re: Voss & Blight

For a bloke who seems to have alot to say Voss doesn't really say too much.
Voss also said he watched the Danial Kerr/Scott West incident & there was nothing in it!! I think he felt as silly as he sounded when they showed the replay.

I was hoping Vossie would come good but for someone who wants to coach the GC team, he underwhelmed, with his comments. I can hardly recall one that was worth the breath used to utter it. I am rapidly concluding that he is plain old fashioned silly.

Re: Voss & Blight

That's not a bad idea at all. I for one think Grant Thomas deserves another crack. He was truly cruelled by injuries each and every finals campaign he went into.

^^^^^^^
Forgot to quote GVGjr's idea re Thomas as coach for the new Gold Coast team
