Daniher steps down

[Bulluss]

Neil Daniher has announced that he wont be seeking another contract at the end of the season.

Voss has to be the front runner for this job.

Memories of Tim Watson 
Great players don't necessarily make great coaches

More fool them if they do!

Whatever happened to an coaching apprenticeship?

You'd really have to be in dire straits to get a rookie coach in this day and age!

huge news. Voss a certainty. Voss = animal. Watson = softy. Thats the difference.

Voss would have said tank now thanks Demons.  Ala Wallace circa 2004.

Daniher gone after tomorrow night's game. Won't hang around like Spud did with us.

I can't believe they would go after Chris Connolly after underachieving at Freo.

I'd be surprised if Guy McKenna isn't a front-runner.
Voss might end up being a good coachand will probably will get the job but him not being an assistant coach might be a concern. Melbourne seems to have an ageing list at a glance to overhaul and manage.

[Bulluss]

For anyone that watched Footy Classified on Monday night, Voss was very impressive.

I am confident that he will make a fantastic coach, but then i thought the same of Wallace

But as Voss said, just because others have been through an assistant roles etc then why does everyone have to do it?

No need to be a sheep and do exactly the same as everyone else does.

Not all people could go straight into a senior coaching job but there are some exceptions and i think Voss is one of them.

Re Grant Thomas and Paul Gardner

I like the way Grant Thomas is brutally honest - I bet he's burnt a few people in his time.

He is one of the few to call Gardner on his disingenuous statement that they would review Daniher after the season was "done and dusted". In anyone's mind that surely meant at the end of the year, but four weeks later he says the season was "dusted" last Friday and probably "done" a couple of weeks earlier - and then proceeds to basically ask Daniher to re-apply for his job after a full review.

Thomas called him untrustworthy, and said he'd be a "wet track scratching" for the job. It was funny how his name was still being raised as a chance 24 hours later - don't they listen to SEN 

As Thomas asked - did Gardner lose his nerve, was he panicked into a reaction instead of holding to his previous claim? It's pretty shonky behavior by Gardner and I think he's being let off the hook - the press loves blood sports.

My brother is a Demons members and doesn't have a high opinion for Paul Gardner.  He says Gardner is not a football person and from what my brother has said, is quite rude to the members.

You'd have to think that the flogging we gave them didn't make the decision but only accelerated it. The Dees had won 2 days in a row against top 8 sides and we had Robertson and other players come out publicly and say they wanted Daniher to remain. Yet one shocker since and Daniher's gone.

[mightytiges]

Neitz must be retiring at the end of the year. Came out today and basically bagged Gardner over his radio comments on Daniher and the coaching job last weekend following our hammering of the Dees.
