Former Carlton president Luke Sayers has departed, but the club remains in overdrive as it keeps sponsors abreast of the situation and names are put forward to become president.
Influential Carlton figures have backed former AFL Commission chairman Mike Fitzpatrick as the best candidate for Blues president after the resignation of embattled businessman Luke Sayers.
Vice-presidents Robert Priestley and Patty Kinnersly have been appointed interim presidents, with Sydney-based investment banker Priestly favoured internally for the role. The former captain, three-time premiership player and Rhodes scholar, who has resisted previous attempts to convince him to join the Carlton board, was contacted for comment.
“There are some very well-credentialed, high-profile Carlton supporters who I think need to step up,” said Elliott on 3AW, raising Fitzpatrick and former Blues champion Anthony Koutoufides, who recently ran unsuccessfully for Melbourne Lord Mayor, as possible candidates. He was also contacted for comment.“I love the Blues and the team is on the right track, but I am not a contender for the role.
