Crossword Genius

Discussed a document about the club (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

debated

'discussed' is the definition.
(debating is a kind of discussing)

'a document about the club' is the wordplay.
'a document' becomes 'deed' (deed is a kind of document).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the club' becomes 'bat' (as in sporting equipment).
'deed' going around 'bat' is 'DEBATED'.

(Other definitions for debated that I've seen before include "Argued" , "Discussed in public" , "Discussed formally" , "Considered" , "Shared opinions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
