A couple of weeks back when the AFL360 with King and Maclure were on discussing coaching moves. I think it was Maclure who said Blake to Essendon. I remember thinking then that Robbo didn't go into his usual over the top reaction when he hears something he hadn't heard before. I just put it down to him being drunk, but now I reckon the industry have known about this move, or the makings off it, for some time.

Which would in turn mean Benny and Balme would have been out in the market scouting/approaching the replacement for a while now.

I’d say we have one locked in Baloo, Benny and Balmey don’t miss a beat, makes me think we have a coach that’s team is in the finals , I know plenty don’t want Voss, however the Leppa convection just makes me think his a possibility

Hope you're right that the replacement is currently coaching. I still fear the thought of Chuckles at PRO

I do too, I’d say if he is coming will no very soon, I’m not a fan , however B & B know a lot more about footy then me. He may well be one of those very good assistants who are not up to steering the ship themselves

I reckon we should get knights, offence was he strength at the bombers when we was coach, so dimma on defence and kinghts on offence should be a good balance.

I agree Halsey. Would be a good fit. Proved he can work as an assistant but would have his own ideas and advocate for them. Not a good omen for Bachar though!

True. We have a prime example of one in Leppa.

Port no certainty to make finals. Are you talking about Geelong?

Can the Carlton coach also be an assistant at Richmond? Pagan told the story on the front Bar that he was appointed North coach pretty hush hush and he still turned up to coach another side while North coach. I reckon Vossy could handle both responsibilities.

Isn't Port's problem connection inside 50? What is Vossy's role there?

Edit

In charge of developing the Power's elite midfielders, Voss is an important part in the club's coaching panel and works closely with Ken Hinkley in developing Port Adelaide's exciting game plan. With the departure of long-standing senior assistant Matthew Nicks, Voss will take over the mantle in 2019.

Why wouldn't we match the offer when blake was doing a fantastic job at the club.

It amazes me how strong an opinion people have about someone they have seen almost nothing of.

Understand it with players because everyone can see them play and make their own judgements but with coaches and assistant coaches 95% of what they do is out of sight of almost everyone.
Agree. I assume you a referring to everyone’s meltdown of getting Bolton?
