AFL identity Eddie McGuire has revealed a wild act from Michael Voss as the sacked Carlton coach avoided a media scrum camped outside his Melbourne home on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Voss, 50, took over as head coach of the Blues ahead of the 2022 campaign, but chose to walk away this week after just one win this season.<\/p>\n

Assistant Josh Fraser will take over as interim coach for the remainder of 2026.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Today,\u00a0McGuire confirmed the extraordinary lengths the three-time premiership winner and Brownlow Medallist went to so he could brush the reporters.<\/p>\n

‘I’ve got a funny story that you guys (Karl Stefanovic\u00a0and Sarah Abo) as journalists will love,’ the former Collingwood president began on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

‘So Vossy, he goes to the gym, and when he gets home he sees all the journos out the front … anyway, about half an hour later, this lady comes down and tells the boys and girls from the media, “Hey, I know you are waiting for Michael Voss, but he’s gone”.<\/p>\n

Voss (pictured) actually decided to resign before Carlton’s narrow loss to Brisbane on May 8<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘They (the media) said, “Where can he go? We have been here the whole time.”<\/p>\n

‘Vossy had jumped the back fence, crawled along the ground and then jumped over this woman’s back fence.<\/p>\n

‘His daughter was waiting for him there… he then jumped in the car and they drove off.<\/p>\n

‘The woman said, “I got robbed a couple of weeks ago, he scared the hell out of me”.’<\/p>\n

Stefanovic reacted by saying, ‘Lucky he didn’t get shot.’<\/p>\n

Coming into the 2026 season, Voss was in charge of an overhauled coaching group and also lost key players Charlie Curnow, Tom De Koning and Jack Silvagni to rival clubs.<\/p>\n

Voss actually decided to resign on Friday, before Carlton’s narrow loss to Brisbane.<\/p>\n

What he does next is anyone’s guess \u2013 and that includes the man himself. <\/p>\n

‘We (Carlton) had a project that was sizeable. The change in player personnel was significant,’ Voss told AFL.com.au.<\/p>\n

‘Getting some level of cohesion, and doing it under the most extreme pressure, was maybe just too big a task.<\/p>\n

‘I’m at peace with the decision, but probably the most uncomfortable part about all this is I don’t know what is next.’<\/p>\n

Voss departs the Blues after 49 wins, 53 losses and one draw from 103 matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
