He's perhaps best known as the man on the receiving end of the AFL's greatest sledge of all time. Or maybe its as the brother of a Brownlow medallist and 3-time Brisbane Lions premiership captain. But Brett Voss played 170-games of AFL football in his own right, arriving at the St Kilda Football Club alongside Fraser Gehrig, Aaron Hamill, Nick Riewoldt, Justin Koschitzke, and of course, Malcolm Blight, ahead of the 2001 AFL Season. Voss went on to play 135 games for the Saints during a period of relative success under Grant Thomas, before finishing up at the end of the 2007 season. Brett joins Darren Parkin and Nick Splitter on this special episode of Unpluggered to talk about his AFL career and time at St Kilda.
