Re: Has 2016 Ruined Football For You?
Our performance in 2017 was a simply terrible defense of our hard won success in 2016, a real blight on the club in my opinion. I've said it before but complacency is a killer and too many people just bludged in 2017.
That said, I'm far more positive about the way we enter the 2018 season than I was in 2017. At least the players seem up for a good old fashioned fight this year.
I can understand why complacency hit the club and the supporters in 2017 but there is no excuse from the same to occur in 2018. We expect the players to be switched on and give it a red hot go but then seem to think it's OK for supporters to have a Tomic sized level of being half arsed. We need to be all the way in not just sitting on the fence waiting to see if the players will drag us along.
I also can't accept that people use the AFL as the reason why they are still in a funk with their level of interest in our club while resting on (or blaming it on) the success of 2016. We should want and demand more of the same from our club in 2018 and forget the side show that is the AFL.

)where they may have read the press and attached some tickets to themselves. I can understand that but I won't be so understanding if it happens again. It's like a dropped catch in cricket, we forget about last season and concentrate on the next one.
