Patrick Voss

He had his shirt off.

He wasn't at the ball, but he was at the telethon the next day, so I spent a good portion of the day with Patrick Voss the next day as we did some panels together at the telethon, which is live on TV for 24 hours, into the phone room, that sort of stuff, and really enjoyed his company.

He was a fantastic, modest young man.

Going about his work was the Prancing Pony.

I'll tell you what helped.

What? Paddy Voss.

Oh,

yes.

It's amazing.

What I like about that is you virtually didn't have to ask him to take it off.

So there's some more donating because Paddy Voss got the rig out.

He did, indeed.

So it was on his legs and punching him through the leg side.

He was rotating the strike with the tail and, He put on a big show with Pat Cummins.

He put on a lot of runs with Nathan Lyon.

They were crucial.

And then Renshaw and the boys at the bottom of the tail, you know, wagged and we put on 350 or something like that.

So they can get it together.

It's just, you know, the coach has got to be there and encouraging everybody and Pat's got to be around everybody and everybody's got to be really wanting to go hard and take it up to them.

I'm going to say this again, but the inclusion of Rabada in their bowling lineup, I think he ended up taking six wickets for the match, but He's world-class and everybody lifted around him.

Really? And I think he's going to be box office in the media, Chris Scott.

At number four, Patrick Voss.

Yep.

A couple of texts coming through on the pony that he needs to be in.

I think he's good for the game.

And it's better when he does it and he backs it up with his performance.

He can put in a stinker, Patrick Voss.

He's got the odd stinker in him.

The question now will be, how likely would these three players, uh, be to be given a second or third chance in the AFL, either at another club or Essendon? So we've got quite a few delisted Dons gaining traction.

Obviously, we've seen what happened with Pat Voss.

Is there gonna be another situation like that? We'll be-- we'd be ruing our mistakes letting Elijah Sardis go if he starts to put it together at North Melbourne.

But speaking of the delisted free agency window, it is kicking off very soon.

I'll tell you what helped.

What? Paddy Voss.

Oh,

yes.

It's amazing.

What I like about that is you virtually didn't have to ask him to take it off.

So there's some more donating because Paddy Voss got the rig out.

He did, indeed.

Camarena.

At number six, he's also my boy, but Patrick Voss.

Eight times this season under 10 disposals and 13 times one goal or less, but eight times three goals or more.

for Patrick Voss.

So it can be very, very much hot or cold.

Yeah, the nature of the position, competition for goals is hot in that forward line and it's how they function collectively, which was very, very good.

I thought he was excellent on grand final day, Patrick Voss, but can be hot or cold, as can the Hawthorne co-captain, James Cicely.

Is it a Sicily I'm going to give away two 50-meter penalties and five free kicks against, or am I going to be dominant across halfback, marking everything, slicing the opposition by a foot? It will be one of the two for James.
