PORT Adelaide's new midfield coach Michael Voss remains keen to again lead a team in his own right.
 
 
The former Brisbane Lions senior coach denied the move to Adelaide was just a stepping stone, and with a young family, he insisted he wanted to create stability for them in a new city.
 
But after his appointment by the Power, where he'll join premiership teammate Shaun Hart, Voss said his passion to coach still burned.
 
"It still sits there a bit to say 'I'd like another crack at it'," Voss told SEN.
 
"But I'd be quite satisfied if I found myself (still as an assistant coach) in another few years time and it wasn't the goal.
 
"It's just about creating a really strong football club…you look at teams like Hawthorn just recently and the Sydney Swans over the last decade and also Geelong, they're the sort of environments you want to try and create.
 
"If we can try and make some way towards that and I was invested in a small way in that, I would be immensely proud."
 
For now though, Voss said he was excited to coach without the added pressures that come with the senior position.
 
Voss said he was also eager to work with a number of the Power's young emerging stars, namely Ollie Wines.
 
The 20-year-old won his second Gavin Wanganeen Medal this season as the Power's best under-21 player and is still eligible for the award next season.
 
Voss said he was looking forward to the luxury of working with the likes of Wines minus the meetings and external pressures that will remain coach Ken Hinkley's responsibility.
 
"Just to focus solely on that, I must say is very exciting," Voss said.
 
"No media, board meetings and operations meetings, recruiting meetings – just purely getting the midfield together and getting them going.
 
"[Wines] has just got that big frame, that big body and he already throws his weight around.
 
"He's just playing some fantastic football."
 
Coincidentally, the three-time Lions premiership captain will mentor the Power's midfield alongside former agitator Josh Carr.
 
"I never thought I'd be working right alongside Josh Carr, the closest we got together was normally in a headlock," he joked.
 
"So I might get the boys just to stand back and watch us go at it for 15 minutes."
