As far as "embracing different types" I don't have a problem with that in principle as long as they enhance the club or at minimum do not detract from it. I personally firmly believe that we must exercise care as to how much and from whom we accept money and, most importantly, what they might be asking in return. I would hate to think we are prepared to just sell ourselves and our brand to anyone offering a bag of gold without careful regard as to how beneficial in overall terms, not just financial, that may be for us.
he was in the box for one game wasn't he? no matter how many number of shots ch7 showed during that game it was one off and clearly he could not be considered the public face of the club.
the club obviously must conduct sufficient due diligence before entering any commercial arrangement/accept donation to ensure it does not materially create negative issues. im confident the club does that however the doc winning an auction for a one off footy experience does not provide him with ongoing benefits so for mine no issues there at all.
dont disagree at all with this and if its proven the doc or anyone for that matter has caused the club material and measurable harm to us then i would be the first to be against their ongoing involvement.
