AFL Investigates Death Threats Targeting Carlton Coach Voss

Carlton coach Michael Voss has been the target of a death threat referencing a brutal end to his life, which was reported through the MCG's anti-social hotline and is now under investigation by the AFL integrity unit. While the threat was not considered credible, it has been condemned by Voss and fellow AFL coach Chris Fagan, who described such hostility as an unfortunate but common aspect of AFL coaching. Voss responded passionately, emphasizing that football is about community and belonging, and declared that those who resort to such hostility do not belong in the sport. The Carlton club has also faced vandalism from frustrated fans, who expressed support for Voss but demanded the board's resignation. Voss highlighted the negative impact of media scrutiny contributing to this toxic environment and called for a forthright response to such unacceptable behavior. Despite the pressure, Voss remains committed to leading Carlton towards sustained success and expects continued support from fans through both good and bad times.
