I don't condone what he's done or how he's done it, but the gist of his sentiments aren't wrong - they ARE a disgrace and don't respect the jumper. It's merely a work uniform to them.

On another note - it was extremely liberating to disconnect on Sunday night from any association to the game - phone was off, I didn't keep track nor did I see a second of the match - and I didn't check the score until the following morning. Therapeutic, even.

Then when I did check the score, I wasn't surprised, nor was I angry.

A great Stoic attitude BB. Just let it go and it doesn't affect you.

Easier said than done of course.

Ultimately that's what it is for them though BB, at the end of the day they are just blokes going to work.

I really fee sorry for everyone involved. It's an awful experience when a sporting team can't meet the expectations.

To me these things just show how little we actually understand about success in sport. Voss is a great coach, a terrific leader and knows plenty about the game. They've got some very good players but for whatever reason they are not good enough in combination to be successful.

There are so many factors at play that it is a miracle they ever line up, and yet everyone froths and bubbles about it when it inevitably doesn't work out. It's a brutal industry.

10 minutes in and I feel like I'm at the funeral of someone who died too young. The first speaker has had half of bottle of whisky before it even starts.

The inability to get a Charlie Curnow bobblehead because Essendon supporters could get it first to top it all off.

Haha, talk about stereotypical Carlton supporters. If you had to describe what a Carlton supporter looks and sounds like, you would name these 5. Haha.

There is no evidence that Voss is a great coach. Lots of evidence to the contrary though.

Slightly ironic he tees off at Cripps whilst he’s got a Cripps poster in the background.

With all due respect TBR, what exactly has Voss done that makes him a ”great coach”? From what I see, he has only had 2 seasons where his teams have won more games than they lost ( his first years at both Brisbane and Carlton). His teams dramatically fall away in the following seasons.
Great player, yes, but I can’t see how he is a great coach

The person that died too young must've been an absolute c*** with the way they're teeing off :LOL:
