The point was that they are similar players.
Big-bodied goal-kicking mid with line-breaking speed for mine. Get it done Dodo you Dud.
Voss is nowhere near a Mihocek yet. Let him develop in the VFL and maybe in 2 years he may be like a young Mihocek. Iām sure he has an exciting future, just donāt rush it.
I wouldnāt be against giving Poulter another shot, though I was super keen on him predraft so maybe a little bias.
On the plus side I think I read heās nominated a 6month contract. We donāt exactly have mid spots free, but I do like his size

I remember wanting him in his draft year as I thought he had something about him. He played 12 games for Collingwood as an 18/19 year old so canāt be too far off it. Whatās his form like this year in the VFL?
I donāt mind taking a young bloke whose been in the system before and is still hungry for it.

I said they are similar type players, I never said he was at Mihocekās level right now.
You honestly think heās going to wait for 2 years to get an opportunity ? wowā¦watch another team swoop in and give him a go.

VFL Best and fairest likely going to go to VOSS or Bryan (missed a few games) or a VFL listed player IMO. Maybe a Narkle or Rasinac
Personally I think for us we should be looking at kpf/ruck would also have a double bonus of helping Voss and Bryan in the twos

I think Wrightās injury exposed us on not having a forward/ruck backup and forcing us to play Phillips, i would target this area BUT i wouldnāt guarantee a spot to a guy fitting this place unless they show they can step up to the level

Many clubs have young players sit in reserves developing without opportunity early on
Voss given he was late to pick up AFL, passed over by GWS despite being in their academy and only taken as a rookie would mean heās got plenty to learn which heād know
Only 19yrs old. Never been settled in a position on field until now

So you donāt think he has deserved an opportunity this year ?
Gee your keen to pour hot water on the VOSS hype.
watch Cox come into the side after 1-2 VFL games.
I just donāt know what they expect VOSS to do.
Does he needs to play midfield and get 30 possessions and kick 5 goals (still probably not enough).
Frustrating how they set the bar high for some players and others, just need to get through a half.

How many of this type do North want in development at once?

I remember there was a bit of hype around the guy they took at number 1 in the MSD in 2021. Jacob Edwards.
Cal Twomey at the time said that it was like getting a bonus first round pick as thatās what he was projecting to be at seasonās end.
You obviously donāt expect heaps of ruckmen until theyāre a bit older but I check the VFL stats most weeks and always see that he just does not fire a shot.
In terms of his disposals this season heās had the following games: 2, 3, 4, 4, 4.
Then a few where by comparison he has shot the lights out with games of 6,7,9.

That was the guy whose name I couldnāt remember. Youād assume he was gone if they recruited another, given they already would have Coleman-Jones, Comben, Xerri and some guy called Hamish Free who Iāve never heard of, on top of Goldstein.
I guess maybe there is serious concerns over Combenās injuryā¦

Phillips would love those numbers right now!

No Rom, he hasnāt ādeservedā an opportunity yet. Let him kick 2-4 goals every week for 4-5 weeks then start thinking ādeservesā. At the moment his impact is not deserving of a promotion. His time will come. Why the rush. Let him develop his skills, learn to be consistent, then make the step up. Iām a supporter of Voss, and thatās why I want him to grow in the VFL and become the player we hope he will be. Iād love him to develop into a CHF like the great Merrett whose very presence on the field intimidated the opposition. A great pity we lost him to Qld, but thatās the sort of player I would love to see Voss become. Donāt you?

Like he did from rounds 1-4 where he kicked 12 goals?

For some, the acknowledgment that a player deserves a game will align directly with when they are selected.
