Voss promises to provide passion

September 2nd 2008 22:27
NEWLY appointed Brisbane coach Michael Voss believes his passion and love for the club will make up for his lack of experience.

The three-time premiership captain was appointed despite not having served an apprenticheship as an assistant coach at an AFL club.

But Voss scoffed at suggestions that he was not ready.

"I think I am ready and I will let other people talk about the topic of whether Michael Voss is ready or not," he said.

Despite his lack of experience, Voss said he had to jump at the opportunity to coach the Lions because he could not risk the opportunity not arising again in the future.


Voss, who will meet with the players for the first time on Wednesday said he had no problems coaching many of his former teammates.

"From a relationship side I see that as a strong point rather than a weak point," he said.

"But I am here to get results and the expectations will be the same across the board and I will expect the 38th player on the list to have the same attitude and the same commitment as Jonathan Brown."

"If you treat one player better than another you compromise what you stand for as a team."

"My core principle is all decisions must be made in the interests of the team - that is one thing I learned from Leigh Matthews."

Voss said he was focused on getting the Lions back to being a genuine finals contender.

"My expectation is we will go forward and that is playing finals again," he said.

"The Lions haven't been in the finals for the last four years and we have to find a way to get back into that top echelon."
