Carlton president Luke Sayers has been caught up in a social media hack.
As first flagged on Thursday’s Rumour File, Sayers’ personal X account published a lewd image, with the Blues president shortly informing his followers that he’d been hacked.

He told the Herald Sun that he learnt of the hack while on an overseas holiday, pledging to find out who accessed his social media and posted the image.

I truly hope that he was hacked and it’s all just an unfortunate event.

Personally I find it very hard to believe he was hacked and the only thing the hacker did was post a picture of, assumedly, his penis whilst tagging an executive of one of Carlton’s sponsors.

Not that I’m saying this did happen, but I think it more likely that he meant to send it as a DM, stuffed it up and panicked by saying he was hacked then deleted his account.

Interested to see what the club has to say about this. Very important to deal with this correctly.

The club needs to deal with this. Fast.

"hack", right...

Someone picking up his phone left on a table might have been believable. Should have run with that.

The ole 'I got hacked and they sent a dick pic' story hey

How would it be if Twitter/X investigates and says, there was no hack. This was posted from the regular users IP address.

The good ol’ boys club of footy in full swing again. Married man. Female colleague. Seen it all before.

The question is, will this impact the club and its onfield performances this year? You’d have to say it’s caused some ripples amongst those higher up at the club.

 

[Abers]

Faster this crook is moved on from
the club the better.

Its clear he meant to send it as a DM and ****ed it up. Literally tagged a female exec in the picture, and deleted it minutes later.

lol "I was hacked". The default go to excuse for any time someone accidently posts a dick pic on social media. A bit like how when an AFL player is caught doing drugs/off their head at a night club etc, its always "mental health issues".

Can't believe people think we still fall for such stupid excuses in 2025.

 

[james Dean]

What an idiot, he has to step down.

 

[Kernafides]

Surely he was hacked... you'd be pretty stupid to post a dic pic to twitter.....unless he was hammered and forgot what app he was in lol

I still dont know why anyone thats high profile was send a dp. Playing with fire at the best of times.

You'd also be pretty stupid to oversee a consulting firm with millions of dollars of government contracts using privileged and confidential information to provide to the private market...

Yep agree.

Its either that, or his wife/partner had his phone and found some "incriminating" evidence and was the one who posted it while tagging the other party.

If his account had actually been "hacked", they would be busy posting trying to shill NFT's and dodgy crypto's.

 

[ajb72]

More surprised anyone has an 'X' account anymore TBH.

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.

Surely has to walk the plank

Probably should have already after what happened at PwC under his watch.

 

[Blue and Silver]

Isn't he supposed to step down again this year?

Were we going to keep having to vote on him getting extensions?

Just sack him and move on, plenty of great leaders who would kill for this position without the drama attached

 

[Pablito]

It's good to see no one really defending him this time around.

Corporate malpractice: "Eh no biggie"
Sending a rod shot to someone who isn't your wife but accidentally posting it on X: "See ya later".

Well done people

 

[jj1978]

We need a tally whacker line up, as per Porkys

 

[sbwan]

As someone on social media observed, Luke may need that Gillette sponsorship more than Walshy...

One is through his role at the Carlton Football Club.

Anyway, was this a BIG deal or much ado about NOTHING?
