The cognitive dissonance in this thread.
If it was any other club especially Collingwood/Essendon*** we'd all be burning him at the stake.
Club bias does stupid things to people.
Agree that there needs to be due process, but the silence by the club and Sayers is bitterly disappointing.
I would have expected Cook to have spoken publicly as well.
Why hasn't the club hasn't said something like: We acknowledge what a shit show this is, we have asked the AFL Integrity Unit and the Police to investigate. While the investigation is in ongoing Luke will be standing down from his official duties. We're not saying anything more until we've got something to say.
Silence is deafening. And seeing an insta post about the Run 4 Respect event coming up was reminder of how poorly the club has handled this. Of course, we have NFI what is going on behind the scenes, but judging things on face value, I'm sorry to say it's been a fail to this point.
That would be the appropriate response, but in a media sensitive industry (think sponsor income) we see a cover up. b/c the CFC management behave like a private school when there's a scandal exposed to media, or when so old covered up child abuse surfaces in the courts. also like the the Liberal Party, the ethos of the privileged white male goes … never admit fault, never apologise, lie some more if you need to cover up some old lies and bad behaviour.
The CFC response to everything Lke Sayers would lecture his club membership about wanting to uproot in a "values led culture of high achievement" shows how empty all that "values driven approach" rhetoric from coaches, club officials, board members is at times.
As always with conmen, politicians and those capable of fraud, watch what they do, not what they say.
I don't blame Patty Kinnersly for not putting her hat in the ring if that's the case. Luke Sayers was a red flag. I'm sure she knows a whole lot more about this and other stuff resembling CFC in the 1970/80s.
David Campbell, CFC Board, People and Culture, a partner of Egon Zehnder International — this was on your watch. Your silence is deafening!! I guess they didn't prepare you for transformation of misogynist cultural norms at Australia's greatest fruit juice company? Please do better in future, David. You cannot change the past but you sure can reflect the present not the 1970s.

I understand it's a tongue in cheek comment but in reality, I'm not sure too many were "appointed" from a wide field. Several over recent years have been the only ones willing to put their hands up.
