The AFL integrity department is investigating a threatening text message left on the MCG’s anti-social hotline service directed at Carlton coach Michael Voss during the Blues’ loss to Collingwood.
The message was received by the MCG security team who work with police during matches, according to the AFL and the MCG.

The message was not treated as a credible threat but was enough for the MCG to notify the AFL integrity unit, who then made Carlton aware of the issue.
A Blues spokesperson said the message was completely unacceptable and overstepped the mark, although Voss was not exposed to any threat. This masthead does not know the exact nature of the message.
