Official Club Stuff From The President - Oops no, not from the president, I was hacked.

[T2B_]

If you'd been on the cans I reckon it'd be simple enough. The DM button is directly under the new tweet button. Attach your weiner pic, tag the name thinking you were choosing who to send it to, and voila! A pre-season scandal Bootsma would be proud of.

Wow, interesting design!

Using the word "sorry" at the beginning of his response doesn't look good to me. Wouldn't you use a more angry or upset type of intro if you were genuinely pissed off?

If he was genuinely hacked - i.e. someone had access to his twitter account password - there would likely be a lot more than just a single dick pick sent. And it would likely have stayed on the account longer than it did.

The term 'hacked' gets overused. And often is used as a convenient excuse to cover a user blunder.

It takes time to recover from this, as the hacker has usually changed the password, meaning the owner can't immediately fix the problem. The posts above were live for hours.

Sayers' post was deleted almost immediately according to the reports, and he was on soon afterwards to say he was hacked. Very unlikely imo. Now, it's possible for some rogue to pick up your unlocked phone at a bar, quickly snap a pic, and post it. And in that case you'd get the result seen, but Sayers didn't say that. He said he was hacked. I call shenanigans.

Hacker happened to also know a female executive of one of our sponsors

I’m tipping that it was hacked - I mean why would you post your own picture of something so small.

He meant to send it, not post it

His leaving no stone unturned doesn't include asking the police or AFL to investigate.

He won't complain to the police and make a false statement. He won't want the AFL integrity unit investigating as they'll figure it out in about 3 seconds.

He has to stand down surely.

won't last a week if this wasn't a hack (which appears it isn't).

Surely getting moved on very soon. Keeping him around for another 23+ games is ludicrous. Imagine Carlton make it to the grand final. Club president doing media and functions the whole week. If they win doubtless getting their face in the celebrations.

If he isn't moved on Bupa won't renew the sponsorship.

I agree the police report will never happen.

After that… will the media put enough pressure on the AFL to investigate? His best hope is the boys’ club sweep things under the carpet. But I do think Caroline Wilson and others are likely to be vocal enough that the AFL’s hand is forced.

If the AFL tell him they are being forced into an investigation (and he will likely be told behind closed doors rather than a public announcement), then I agree he will stand down in advance of the investigation.

My best guess is he will put out a press release where he will continue to profess his innocence, admit the whole affair is a bad look for the club, and then say he is doing the right thing by stepping down to preserve Carlton Respects and the club sponsorships (which he will claim were the highlights of his Presidency).

Whether the truth ever sees the light of day may depend on whether we see media reports in the coming months of a “high society” divorce.

“Mr Sayers told the Herald Sun on Thursday that his account was hacked and that he would leave “no stone unturned” to find out “who did this to me and my family”.”

Found him.



Boy, that was easy.
