VANDALISM DOUBLE ACT AS FANS DIAL UP HEAT ON COACHES
Fans from Carlton and Essendon are dialling up the heat on their respective coaches in a vandalism double act.
Code Sports reported the words ‘Sack Voss’ were painted across a Richmond cafe that’s ran by a group of Carlton fans. It came in the aftermath of the 1-3 Blues suffering yet another fad-out loss to North Melbourne on Good Friday.
However, manager of 7 Grams cafe, Omar, says they were framed for the vitriolic message sprayed onto the building.
“(The suspect) knows that we all barrack for the Blues,” Omar laughed.
Barista Jason added: “It’s hard to disagree (with the graffiti).
“Look at the next six games (Adelaide, Collingwood, Fremantle, St Kilda, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs) … ‘Vossy’ is walking the plank right now.”

Meanwhile, Police is investigating an alleged act of vandalism to the playing surface of Essendon’s Tullamarine training facilities, with estimated damages of up to $10,000.
Bombers officials returned to the club’s base on Tuesday after the long weekend to discover a message burnt onto the turf using petrol.
It’s understood the writing, that’s hard to make out, was an attack on the winless Bombers’ bleak start to the season and their coaching staff.
Victoria police released the following statement on the matter: “Police are investigating criminal damage to the grounds of a sports oval on Watsons Drive near Melbourne Airport reported on 7 April.
“The estimated damage is $10,000. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”
