Voss said he would “seek clarification” on what defenders could do against forwards after Jonathan Brown and Daniel Bradshaw were kept to just two goals in Collingwood’s 13.12 (90) to 10.13 (73) win at the Gabba.
Brown kicked two goals on Magpie Nathan Brown in the first term but was kept goalless after Simon Prestigiacomo moved to him in the second term.
The pair tangled several times in one-on-one contests.
His partner-in-crime Bradshaw, the competition’s leading goalkicker before this round, went without a major courtesy of Harry O’Brien’s tight checking.
But Voss seemed far from happy with the treatment of his star duo.
“I’ll seek that out with Jeff during the week exactly what they can do for my own piece of mind and just to let Braddy and Browny know what can happen,” he said.
“We’ll pull the vision off and send it off and make contact with Jeff during the week.”
Other than the treatment of his forwards, Voss was relatively happy with the Lions’ performance despite the loss.
With ruckman Jamie Charman and the in-form Jed Adcock both going down with ankle injuries during the match, the bench was reduced to two during the last quarter and the home team ran out of legs.
“I thought we had two pretty committed teams going at the ball and they probably did it just that bit better than us,” he said.
“They won the in-tight ball a couple of times and they spread really quickly.
“We knew coming into the game that was one of Collingwood’s strengths, being able to get outside and carry the ball and they were able to do that well.
“We clearly didn’t look like we ran out he game as well as they did. They looked a lot fresher and more on top of the ground.
“We were looking a bit more tired at the end, they looked like they were full of running, they were going from contest to contest, they got that encouragement, saw the opening and went for it.”
Voss said the fatigue late in the match led to turnovers, on which Collingwood was able to capitalise through small forwards Paul Medhurst (four goals) and Leon Davis (three).
“They gradually got control of the game by trying to keep possession and wee weren’t able to capitalise on our opportunities,” he said..
“To their credit, they put enormous pressure on us and we made the wrong decision at different times and when we turned it over they scored.
“They were able to sweep it down and get their small fleet footed guys on the end of it and they kicked the goals.”
Voss also said the Lions did not keep the “foot to the throat” when they led by 22 points during the second quarter.
