Brittain criticised Voss for the appointment of former Olympic canoeist Dan Collins as his right hand man, claiming Voss was now too busy to communicate properly with his players.
Voss said the comments were irrelevant to his job as head coach.
“I don’t know why I have got to answer questions for people who aren’t here when they are the past and not the future,” Voss said.
“It’s quite clearly a personal reference to one person, it’s a personal conflict.
“Sort it out one on one, go catch up, get a coffee, do it that way, there are better ways to do it.”
Voss would not say whether the Lions football management structure needs to be modified; instead reinforcing that everyone is united in the same aim, to start winning again.
“We are firmly focused on making sure that we turn this around,” Voss said.
“I can say with the utmost confidence that everyone is completely committed to be able to do that.”
The Lions have lost ten of their past eleven games and sit precariously in 12th place with Hawthorn and Geelong to come in their next two matches.
Jonathan Brown and Matt Maguire are set for a recall for Saturday’s clash with the in-form Hawks in Tasmania.
But Voss said they won’t be rushed back, despite the fact the Lions must win all their remaining seven games to have a chance of playing finals.
“Browny and Goose are very likely to play, probably less Matt Maguire than Browny,” Voss said.
“They trained pretty well last week, ramped up their work over the weekend and they’re looking in reasonable shape.
“We have got to be really confident that he (Brown) can not only play but he can pull up well.”
Having won the corresponding clash at Aurora Stadium 12 months ago, Voss said his men would take some confidence into Saturday’s clash.
“Certainly off the weekend we have shown a positive move forward,” Voss said.
“It’s going to be another great measure for us.
“I would hope that the training they have done over the last couple of weeks has given them confidence.”
Voss said his players weren’t too hard on Nick Riewoldt, who copped some rough treatment from Lions players on the weekend.
“I welcome it, I won’t pull my players up for that,” Voss said.
“Maybe St Kilda would think less of us if we didn’t.”
In some positive news for the Lions, former Saint Xavier Clarke made a successful comeback from a long term knee injury in the reserves.
Voss said the running midfielder had lost none of his spark.
“His first game in, his ball use was fantastic, he sees the ball very, very well.”
“He took a two step jump and nearly took one of the best speccies you have ever seen so he has certainly got the spring.”
