Under-siege Carlton coach Michael Voss has been the target of a “heinous and inappropriate” threat.
Code Sports reports the shocking message is understood to reference a brutal end to his life, but is not being treated as a credible death threat.
The message was initially received by the MCG’s anti-social service call number and was passed onto the AFL, with league headquarters now investigating.
Voss, who has coached the Blues since 2022, has been under intense pressure following Carlton’s dramatic drop in form.
This time last year the Blues were in second spot on the AFL ladder and were in the box seat to make a run at the club’s 17th premiership.
Fast forward 12 months and Carlton is paying $101 with the TAB just to make the finals and $1001 to win the premiership.
The latest incident comes a fortnight after Carlton’s Ikon Park headquarters were targeted by vandals after the club’s horror loss to Port Adelaide.
