I've said pretty much the same about Jack Elliott and have been shouted down.
Look on the bright side Townsendcalling, while we might find Edelsten's antics a bit uncomfortable at least he isn't James Hird!

I don't have an issue with him being a club member at all but not as a public face of the club. I just hope we don't see a shot of our coach's box with him sitting in the background again! :

If I recall, this was a gimmick available to corporates at a cost. I remember MM clarifying this in the media, as the hounds were quick to ask. I don't think our new way of going about business would support shenanigans, at least I hope not :
