According to Supercoach Paige, SEN has said Michael Voss has been sacked ! For Fantasy Sake I hope this is true

I don't believe this :o why would they sack him when they are still in the mix for finals, playing great footy and winning games

I am not sure if its confirmed but PerthNow reported he won't be given a new contract six minutes ago.

Who would have thought when the two 1996 Brownlow medalists woke up this morning, Michael Voss would have been the one losing his job? #hird

That is crazy. Awful timing

woofy · August 13, 2013, 06:03:10 PM

Wow big news... Zorko for mid time? :D

quinny88 · August 13, 2013, 06:03:57 PM

Bad news for Melbourne.. Any good coach that was hungry for a job just got themselves a hell of a lot more appealing job opportunity pop up

Zorko a chance to tonne up against GWS now? :)

Did Ringo orchestrate this?

Holz · August 13, 2013, 06:24:34 PM

Lions now fantasy relevant. If rocky keeps his doo he could average 120 next year as a forward.

Docherty redden zorko rocky all worth looking at.

No - but there is a lot more discussion in the Brisbane thread. I am as shocked as any one with the timing as I expected decision to be announced after the season in alignment with what has been said by the board.
It is also a members dinner night tonight so not ideal timing and obviously will be the centre of discussion on Saturday night.
Hopefully will be the catalyst to now keep Longer and Hanley to finally sign.

Lets face it though great player and that has to be respected but a very ordinary coach who could not take the youthful group to the next level.
