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.
It would be more prudent for the club to provide all prizes/rewards for donors (especially ones with a dodgy record) that are outside of the mass media or general public view. The coaches box was a big gaffe IMO and I don't think we'll be seeing a repeat of that one.
