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

[The Blue Weirdo]

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.

The ‘authenticity’ of the photo is completely irrelevant.
All that matters is did Sayers post the photo, or was his phone hacked?

My point was "is this the quality of person we really want holding the reins " of the club?
But then again maybe it's normal and common for people to keep self nudies on their phone these days.

Like someone else has said, it’s not a selfie unless the person in the picture has Inspector gadget arms.

Spot on and no it's not normal behaviour for a senior leader. The people with the Navy Blue Goggles on will tell you "who cares" or "nothing to see here".

Doesn't matter who took it, if its him and/or on his phone, he's extremely immature.

Why would you care in the slightest what’s on his phone?
It’s only that a picture was posted publicly that is a problem.

True but I don't think it would be normal for a 55 year old AFL Club President and Company CEO to have nude pics (potentially of himself or otherwise) on his phone.

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

I have a number of bridges for sale

Behind close doors people can do what they want, only concern should be, is if he posted inappropriate content, which jeopardises his career and relationships

More to it than that. If he has an undisclosed relationship with a club donor, it potentially becomes a club integrity issue. If it was some random woman he was having an affair with (not saying there is an affair going on, but if), then I'd agree with you.

Conflict of interest would fall into, "jeopardises his career and relationships"

Conflict of interest would fall into, "jeopardises his career and relationships"

Sure, but that applies irrespective of whether the post was made or not. That was just the vehicle which has highlighted what may be a conflict of interest. It also has implications for Carlton, not just Sayers.

Go-pro. For those tricky angles…

 

[sparkybagger]

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

 

[passmark]

Still a shit bloke

 

[goreds]

Was the only option...

Too much at stake for the club...

 

[DamoESP]

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?

Good to see nothing has changed at the top, at least the right outcome has occurred (Sayers gone)

 

[Aphrodite]

All clear!

Blues president resigns despite being cleared over lewd post

Luke Sayers steps down as Carlton president after AFL releases its findings into social media post

www.afl.com.au

CARLTON president Luke Sayers has been cleared by the AFL of any wrongdoing after a lewd image was posted from his social media account earlier this month.

"The Integrity Unit's inquiries, which included multiple interviews and review of other evidence, have now concluded and the AFL has found, based on the available evidence, that access to Mr Sayers' X account was compromised, resulting in the posting of the image (i.e. by a person not being Mr Sayers) and tagging of another person," the AFL said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

[Tjblues]

Feels like the AFL agreed to go along with his story if he agreed to piss off.

Thanks for your service Luke, but don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

Glad the club can move on from this well in advance of the season

 

[katmanblue]

Well well. Sayers goes bye bye

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

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

You know that he wasnt hacked.? Please give us the information that led to this conclusion
