It was players only
We've had the Dominator and the Penetrator, which brings us to The Eliminator - Jimmy Buckley.

The guy who was driving pissed, 3 times over the limit, hit a taxi, killed one of the passengers, gave the others life threatening injuries, and only in the Carlton way, had all charges dismissed.

(Got me now wondering who Henry Bolte followed.)
 
In chronological order:

10/ John Nicholls (1957- 1974)
While playing for Carlton, Nicholls served a three-month jail term at Pentridge Prison in 1960, having been found guilty of embezzling £5,558 (equivalent to A$82,349 in 2018) from the Collins Street Branch of the ES&A Bank and larceny as a servant.

9/ Wayne Johnson (1979-1990)
Assaulted Helen D'Amico in front of 95,000 people and was just an all round douchebag in general.

8/ Stephen Silvagni (1985-2001)
Ruined the club with his inept recruiting then refused to go back into the changerooms when his son was playing.
Got sacked as a recruiter and had a huge tantrum .
Also used to break the rules by scragging players behind the ball and push them in the back in marking contests.
Made a fool of himself when Michael Long kicked one of the great final goals.

Nicholls stole from a bank and you've got that as a douchebag move? Shouldn't even be a crime.
 
  1. Thomas McCracken (1886-1888): wandering back to his lodgings one night decided to purloin a sheep carcass.
  2. Alex Lang (1906-1917): banned for 99 games, a total of five years.
  3. Doug Fraser (1910): suspended for five years, a total of 99 league games.
  4. Paul Hurst (1970-1974): two years in jail after being found guilty of the cultivation of marijuana.
  5. John Dennis Morice (Little League Coach 1973-1977): a prolific paedophile who was later convicted on numerous occasions for the sexual abuse of schoolboy footballers he coached.
  6. David Rhys-Jones (1985-1992): had his number taken by umpires 25 times over his 13-season career.
  7. Craig Devonport (1996): defrauded and stole from a Gold Coast sports club.
  8. John Elliott (Pres.): "four or five" women were paid about $5000 each during his reign to keep their stories quiet.
  9. Heath Cilpitt (1999-2001): alleged rape.
  10. Chris Yarran (2009-2015): sentenced to five years in jail.
  11. Josh Bootsma (2012-2014): propositioned a young fan for sex within 15 minutes of connecting on social media while girlfriend was pregnant.
  12. Luke Sayers (Pres.): PwC tax scandal whilst serving as CEO.

I'll accept McCracken for purloining a sheep carcass but I'll keep Hurst for cultivating marajuana off the list.
