Not saying I don't want him. I just think that any player who can string three words together (intelligent) and has been a good player is instantly assumed to have the makings of a good coach which may not necessarily be the case.

In this day and age most captains are guys who can lead a group of footballers. That is why people assume he will be a good coach. To lead a team such as Geelong over the last few years speaks volumes.

Doesn't always translate though, Danny Frawley and Tony Shaw were great captains but poor coaches

Anyone could have led the cats in the last few years.

Theres always the minority. The opinions of his ability to move into coaching would be coming from alot more reliable sources and people, that have been around footy clubs inner sanctums rather than your Keyboard . As was said before you dont hear that every Capt/Player that retires are coaching material in the future, when there is huge raps on someone as is with him, Bucks, Hird Etc i would back them to be right as Voss has proven. Sometimes you see players that retire that arent superstars at all but are said to be destined to coach, Clarkson, Laidley etc
