Trouble at Ikon Park

[Leopold Bloom 394]

Trouble aplenty right at the top at Ikon Park with Michael Warner getting his teeth into this sordid story that will clearly impact on the culture of the Blues.

Carlton boss Luke Sayers’ d*** pic scandal under AFL investigation

Blues, AFL probe president after lewd social media post

There are already rumblings at the club about the coach after the team fell apart in the last two months of the 2024 season and went from premiership contenders to falling out of the finals with an insipid first half against the Lions in the elimination final at the Gabba.

On top of that, players are falling over like flies. Runner up best and fairest Nic Newman ruptured a patella tendon at training today and will miss the season.

Season over for important Blue after serious knee injury

This comes on top of a bad hamstring injury to midfielder Sam Walsh at training on Monday which will keep him on the sidelines for at least the next month. Charlie Curnow is also on a modified training program after undergoing ankle and knee operations in the off-season.

It’s a familiar scenario for us Demon fans, a reminder of what we went through last year.

Wishing Carlton fans the best of health in the months to come.

Fantastic…. Stories about other clubs issues are fine by me, can we just fly under the radar for a bit please!

[BDA 22,953]

what a terrible shame.

[Demon Disciple 12,312]

Either Sayers is complicit, which is disgusting………….or the attack on his person is shocking and equally disgusting.

There will be no winners whatever the outcome.

Is this the first “query” / rumour raised regarding Sayers?

 

 

[BigBadBustling 410]

Don't they have any former Demons to pin it on?

I believe Steven may was in the same country at the time

The title of the relevant thread on the Carlton Big Footy forum. LOL...

Don’t want to rouse any ‘bad karma’ for us, but I love hearing about other teams in the news. The more the merrier. Come forth all thee with sordid and salacious stories, tales, half-truths, even rumors - let’s get them all out in newsprint for all to see.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,161]

I feel for the individual players like Newman. But suck [censored] Carlton.

Nic Newman a patella tendon injury to his ‘good’ knee - out for the season

[BAMF 4,402]

Newman is a big out. I didnt rate him as a player for many years, but he has built a solid career and is the leading voice in their defence. He was going to move into the midfield this year.

Sayers has always had a bit of an underlying stench to him. A little bit of smoke but no visible fire situation. I'm not surprised.

Carlton's list is bloody solid though. I wouldn't be dancing on their 2025 grave just yet.

What about Brock McLean, he's a good bloke.  Maybe he can take the fall.

[Whispering_Jack 30,853]

Let’s face it, club presidents are a dime a dozen. Carlton will get over the change at the helm if it has to happen.

A deeper problem is the injury situation and the fact that, apart from losing Newman who is a high value player, others of the calibre of Charlie Curnow and Sam Walsh missing the preseason lead up is a big blow.

And West Coast have already had Liam Ryan and Rueben Ginbey in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.

[old dee 23,899]

Even from my limited knowledge of the electronic world there appears some big problems with the hacked excuse. As well why take a picture of your gear? If it was on there it can't be used illegally. I keep on at my grand daughter. Never take a picture you would not want me to see.

In some good news for the Blues, the winner of Race 5 on the Gold Coast was a horse called Bosustow (SP $13.00).

Fourth plagetter in the race was Cattogio.

I have missed this one, too relaxed by the Pool. 
Has the Carlscum President been caught putting pictures of his wedding tackle online, and then saying he was hacked??

”We are Carlscum, [censored] the rest…”

If it was us there would be 5 stories about poor culture. None yet that I have seen on Carlton. Why? I think I know the answer.
