Patrick Cripps Hilariously Renames Coach Michael Voss After Heroic Incident
In a light-hearted revelation at a recent event, Patrick Cripps, the captain of the Carlton Football Club, has shared a humorous nickname for coach Michael Voss, following his remarkable act of bravery during a recent incident in Hawthorn. Cripps, who just clinched his second Brownlow Medal, couldn't help but laugh when he introduced Voss as "Rambo," referencing the iconic film character known for his fearless nature in perilous situations.
The backstory to this nickname stems from a dramatic episode that unfolded in August when Voss was at Barton Milk Bar café, waiting for his coffee. Suddenly, he witnessed a stolen car crash nearby, flipping onto the sidewalk. Without hesitation, Voss sprang into action as two occupants attempted to flee on foot. Demonstrating quick thinking and remarkable athleticism, he chased down one of the suspects and performed a citizen's arrest before the police arrived. Cripps, while addressing the crowd on stage, remarked on Voss's dual role as both a heroic figure and a coach, quipping about how Voss manages to juggle these responsibilities with a sense of humor.
