And the excuses and rationalisations come rolling in................ :
Hey, we're open for business - we take money from anybody - we aren't proud or squeamish.

Cannot a Carlton supporter just be a Carlton supporter regardless, must we judge their value as a supporter on the rest of their non-Carlton life? If we must, then we may as well throw out half our members! Terrorists, dole bludgers, drug addicts, racists, thiefs, embezzlers, anarchists, liberals, socialists, lawyers, corporate psychopaths, car or vacuum salesmen, bikies, priests, teachers, tradies and politicians. According to the media they are all generally no good!
It would be truly ironic to turn the social media blowtorch on the likes of Ralph or Craig! They are high enough profile to have many enemies with plenty of skeletons those enemies can dig up!
As for the treatment of Edelsten, I don't want our club to be two faced, I've seen it before in the treatment of Jack Elliott. Too many were happy to be there slapping him on the back and shaking his hand when he shouted the bar after a victory, only to stab him in the back when we lost. We are not a soccer club, that behaviour can stay in the world game!

We own more pokie machines than anyone else yet we're to say no to Geoff Edelstein's money?
Pokie machines destroy lives - Geoff marries strippers. Can't see the debate here.

Just illustrates his impeccable judgement and identifies the anatomical centre of his thinking abilities!

If it wasn't for business men who were a bit dodgy and free with their sexual favours we may not still be operating.
I'm probably the most conservative bloke on the site (not necessarily in politics though!) but the Doc is well down on my list of things that we need to address.
Footy clubs are "colourful" places, they attract "colourful" identities, always have always will.
It's part of the show.
We're not a church (actually skip that ...bad example :
)Edelstein isn't the face of the club any more than a Dave Hughes but there is an association...and it's not going away.
