whilst he embarrasses himself we as a club need to be inclusive of all. i dont respect his alleged business antics however i do respect that he has been a lifelong blues supporter and sponsor even when he was with the swans. lifes to short and we are not that big a club to not accept a member because they didnt fit our profile of whats right or good.

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! :D

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!  ::)

i dont think he holds any public position with the club, being in the box was either a raffle win or something he paid good dollars for. unless he has committed a heinous crime then lets all chill and bound him up in blue.

Agree, no issue with him being a member... just don't let him near any decision making involving the club.

from memory i dont think he has ever been in a decision making position so really nothing to worry about.

also have all the legal actions against him concluded? if not whatever millions he gets will be chased by the lawyers.

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 ::)
I believe we should be equitable, not like we haven't got members packs left over.

30 k for two hours what a great hrly rate. as a long time non corp member i have absolutely no issue in this type of footy experience being made available for the highest possible dollar return. we unfortunately don't have enough members and debts so yes go out blues and get the good doctors cash before the lawyers get his mums cash or was that his cash originally and which has now come out of hiding.

His mum passed away and left him everything, he's rolling in dosh and needs to find ways to keep it from the creditors!

I'd say donating it to Carlton is a great way to start! :D

No problem with him giving money to the club. I just don't want to see him publicly associated  with CFC. A bad look IMO.
