Lion King returns: Voss’ full circle moment as insiders reveal how coach inspired shock Blues blitz
But on Saturday, he enters the Lion’s den a self-proclaimed “Carlton person” with the intent to do what no side has done in 2023: Travel to the Gabba and leave with the win.The last time Carlton played at the Gabba in September was in 2009. Voss, then, was in the Lions’ coaches box as his Lions ran over the top of the Blues to win a thriller.
Yet Voss, with all his experience as a big-time player and steeled by his previous senior coaching shortcomings a decade ago, dug deep. And his skills, resilience and playing list arrested the fortunes of his Blues.It was the simple message of “be better” that inspired the Blues surge.“Clearly, it was not the first time he’s been through challenges. Any coach goes through it, any coaching group goes through it and probably every club goes through it.
“The way he played his footy was highly contested … He’s been amazing, but he’s also put a lot of faith in us.” “That’s what we really focused on, along with our contest and pressure, and I guess we’ve seen the rewards from that. “Pressure was high, we needed to win games, we were in front of big crowds … Him backing us in gave us the confidence to perform in those games.”Fogarty agreed with Hamill’s assessment that Voss’ approach didn’t waiver or change drastically. Even amid the excitement of preparing for a preliminary final, the approach inside the four walls is akin to “what we were doing in Round 10”.
