Was listening to the league hour on the radio over here this morning, and it really showed the difference in expectation between a club with a successful history compared to a team that has battled
We log on here, to a team running 7th, and has won a comp recently and hasn't missed a finals series for many years. The coach and players cop a fair bit of flak and the general feeling of disappointment with where we are runs through the place
I then listen to the radio and read a lot of articles on the team running 5th or 6th, 1 game better than where we are. The feeling of excitement is there to see, they are hailing the players as heroes, nominating Cleary for coach of the year etc.
I don't really know what my point is, it just struck me how possibly we have been a bit spoiled over the years with the history of our club and demand perfection, whereas a team still searching for some sort of success can class a season of mediocre results as a top year
