How many undesirables barrack for Collingwood, probably pay dollars to the coffers but Eddie is smart enough to totally disassociate the club with them. Toby Mitchell lasted 30 secs with an association with Richmond. It's all about perception, culture and what you stand for as a club, the type of person you want mixing with and access to your young, sometimes vulnerable players.
Read his history and his current situation. Would you want a guy like that sitting on the end of your kid's bed reading nighttime stories??
Last year, we were the laughing stock of the league and other supporters after the Malthouse / Collingwood game, both because of the result of the game and the colorful character we had in the box. Would any other club allow one of this town's colorful characters in the box, even if they wanted to pay big bucks?? Don't think so!!
he has given at least 850k i reckon he can have pool named after him.
seriously would u let any stranger be with ur kids in their bedrooms - if yes then mate hand yourself in as being an unfit parent? maybe its okay if they dont have a debt/ colorful personality/ some police record - maybe a priest would fit ur moral compass a little better and would be allowed to be with ur kids in their bedroom?
i call b/s on this. we were laughed at because of the shite performance our team put in on such a huge historical occasion - maybe u had a couple of maggies near u that stirred u up - if so then harden up.
clubs in our situation need the cash so they will do what it takes that's the fact - if u dont like that contribute more cash into the club so they can say sorry doc were financial.
