Coach Michael Voss - Stats, history, articles, videos

Andy Maher just said the person who sent the msg is a senior executive and known to the club. Said he should be exposed to who it is.

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

It's the sort of thing a 14 year old with his first phone would do.
I'm not condoning anyone sending death threats to a footy coach after having a bad season, but it's a pretty juvenile act.

It was a senior executive

Much worse.

High profile supporter?

Is that for bloody real? A senior executive sent a threat to Vossy? Surely not. People find more ways to floor me every day.

High profile supporter?

He’d have to be an idiot of the highest order … I hope these players get behind Voss tomorrow night and play out of their skins for their coach …

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Great speech by Vossy. If the players cant get inspired by that **** them. I feel sorry for Voss and the way the Club has treated him. Sack the board.

The board and club have backed Voss in at every turn, regardless of performance. This doesn’t make any sense to me.

Yikes. Surely someone prominent then.

I have a friend (not a carlton supporter) who likes to place bets on games.

Few weeks ago when we beat west coast and Charlie kicked a goal (only 1 for the match) he got 1.46 back on his $100.

He was over the moon.

He placed a similar bet when we played the kangaroos but this time he placed $500 (to get back $1000) for blues to win and charlie to kick 2 goals - we obviously lost and Charlie didn't kick a goal so he lost his money.

He was absolutely livid.

No excuse for this sort of behaviour but I can only imagine some of the outrage is/may or even partially be motivated through losing bets. Maybe big bets.

I think gambling is a huge factor in fans, punters getting angry. Maybe a solution if we identify the culprit is for the AFL who work with gambling companies to totally ban fans all together?

I have seen personally the number of abusive posts to tennis players after losing matches and it has been a regular occurrence in AFL too.

 

[allrighty]

We can be critical of what is happening without making it personal, not one of these ****wits would have the balls to go up to Vossy in the street because he would maul them. Hopefully they are identified and publicly shamed and banned from attending AFL for life.

Sorry for intrusion but this was exactly my thinking. One of the toughest buggers to pull on the jumper.

Senior executive of what? Not the club or the AFL I assume?

And egos - every rich idiot falls out of their career thinking they know more about football than anyone else.... Become directors and inject themselves everywhere... Or.get rejected and become slimy detractors.

Sad.

 

[davidgoes4wce]

Is going on air after a game and venting the frustration at the players, coach, admin stepping over the line? And releasing F bombs at the club going overboard?

I listened to Blues Abroad Live Youtube with fan interaction and someone let out F bombs left, right and centre. I cant imagine but someone at the Blues hierachy must have seen that. Its a small world.

 

[demondavey]

Absolutely horrendous. The man has a family and he does not deserve that for going to work coaching a sport.

This person needs to be outed and charged. Simple.

 

[carlton_99]

You would hope if they were tied to our club they would have been sacked immediately and hopefully had their info passed onto police

Sad.

The gambling business is a big business, you have people betting not in the hundreds but potentially thousands and ten thousands of dollars on the sport.

It would not surprise me one iota that the person who sent the message may have lost a bet and vented his frustration at Voss. When the AFL is in bed with sports betting companies, it can only create these troubles.

If you support a footy team you have every dissapointed after a loss. But if what I am reading the nature of a death threat, that reflects poorly on the person who sent that and I hope the AFL and integrity unit can identify the individual/perpertarors.

 

[demondavey]

Surely whoever has done this is charged for making a death threat? I mean isn’t it a crime?

 

[CrippaTheGoat9]

I’m not quite sure but Andy Maher made it out that person is well known.

They haven't given him any support. Even with the threats that came in, the higher aboves are silent. Hes the coach but hes not the club.

Yeah mate, the bloke put 10k on the Blues to beat the Pies.

Zero chance it's got this much traction if it was just someone losing a bet.

You would be surprised how much emotional toll players on the tennis circuit and the abuse every female tennis player that goes onto lose any tennis match - especially on Instagram after a loss.

Google 'losing bets" and "_______(insert female tennis player name)". Some of the abuse is absolutely vile.

I Just want to show my love to Michael Voss and his family in these tough times. Irrespective of how well he is coaching, no one deserves that . But as sad as we may believe - there are some lunatics in society.

No doubt there are idiots out there that abuse athlete because of losing bets. Not sure the long winded betting theory is required when no mention of it at all.

It's 0.01% chance it is in this situation. Espically if it is who is rumoured to have said/sent it.

'You don't belong here': Voss lashes angry fans over threatening message

Carlton coach Michael Voss delivers a stinging take-down after being the subject of a threatening message left on the MCG's anti-social hotline service during the Blues' loss to Collingwood.

www.abc.net.au

The fact that it was reported to the MCG anti social hotline, Im gathering the comment was made at the ground. Lets hope that the fan who reported to the MCG hotline , had some evidence to pass it on to the right authorities.

 

[Stamos]

To go from frustrated with football to personal threats is as dumb as it gets

Whether Michael Voss coaches on next year or not, and it is doubtful he will, he still remains the first coach in decades of trying to be able to take the Blues back to a preliminary final. To wish him harm would be funny, if it wasn’t so serious.

Reported to the hotline or actually delivered via the hotline?
