Official Club Stuff BREAKING: Luke Sayers steps down effective immediately (Jan 22nd)!

[DamoESP]

All clear!

Luke Sayers steps down as Carlton president following conclusion of AFL investigation

Luke Sayers has stepped down as Carlton president, effective immeidately. It comes as the AFL concluded its investigation into a lewd photo which was posted to his social media account. EARLIER The AFL has concluded its investigation into the lewd photo scandal involving Carlton president Luke...

www.3aw.com.au

this is interesting:

“The AFL wishes to thank the executive who was unwittingly tagged in the post, her cooperation and assistance throughout the inquiries have been extremely helpful.”

So nearly sounds like it was meant to be a DM that was consensual, hence didn't break any of the AFL rules and thats why they cleared him

 

[therubbernub]

Anyone who thinks he didn't post it himself because the AFL 'cleared' him..

I've got some snake oil I'd love to to sell you.

So you were there when he posted it? Why didnt you have a word in his ear? "pssst pres, this might not look good" is all you would have had to say

 

[The Bighouse]

Surely neither get the gig…nonsense sharing and vying for the role.
Bring in a big-wig to assume the mantle.
“Vice-Presidents Robert Priestley and Patty Kinnersly will jointly assume the role and responsibilities of President in an interim capacity, while the Board conducts the process of appointing a President in a permanent capacity”

Maybe it's not that he posted it and his account was compromised.

It's the how it got compromised may have been the reason to step down.

Or he was in a compromising position at the time…
Compromised indeed!

Would explain the prioritisation of family before responding.

I'd like to offer you and Mr Sayers the opportunity of a lifetime.

LOL if Sayers was "leaving no stone unturned" then why step down if cleared by the AFL......unless you know, he wasn't hacked (pro tip, he wasn't) and its just the AFL boys club giving him an out?

Sometimes turning over a stone reveals someone important in your life, so you put the stone back and pretend you didn’t see anything.

Here's my nomination for our next president:

As soon as Graeme Wright is up to speed, we will Welease Bwian (Cook)!

 

[ferrisb]

I know this is VERY un-Carlton, but any chance we can end up with a club President that isn't constantly being investigated....?

 

[AlecDuncan]

Call me 'old fashioned ', but anyone who stores away naked pictures of themselves on a internet connected device is a ****wit. Let alone someone holding a position of importance in society.
For Sayers to continue to remain president should only depend on the authenticity of the photo.

Why assume he took the photo?

 

[lukep_86]

So he was cleared but still stepped down..that's not suspicious at all.

I'm with Dan on this one:

 

[T2B_]

Basically found not guilty. He moves on, we move on.

 

[Opium]

Have to take it at face value. He didn't post the image deliberately or accidentally. AFL would've investigated thoroughly with their findings.

Let's not take away the great work he's done while being President for our club. As he said he loved the football club and always put the club first.

 

[BigFrizz36]

Would be more than happy to get somebody in the role that does it as well as Luke Sayers did without the baggage.

 

[The Blue Weirdo]

I think that as the Blue Weirdo you would be qualified to let us know what's normal and what is weird?

I might be weird, and Kinky Luke's obviously the normal one.
But he should have kept it private and that was the risky move

Waiting for all those to backflip and announce that he eventually 'made the right decision '.

 

[jj1978]

"Cleared" but still quits.....LOL. Can't make this stuff up.

Wants to spend time with the family… sounds like he has some bridges to mend with the Mrs…

An ATO hatch job c/- ASIO.
They got their man.

 

[RPCB]

I hadn’t seen the image until now on Channel 10. They didn’t blur out enough and now I am going to have nightmares.

Fun fact - his wife is Cate Sayers who produced a TV documentary in 2016 called "Raising The Bar"
