There was a time when supporters kept clubs accountable, but when you have the media feeding egos and treating supporters as if we are just bottom feeders without a clue, then the environment of a club becomes unbalanced. There is a definite artificial insulation surrounding our coaching dept. and playing group where The Creed is all but forgotten and only fit for the supporters to follow
When you see some one like Caroline Wilson state ''This club is so beholden to its supporters'' it really tells us the psych of how and what the AFL industry and its pigs at the trough mentality really do think of all supporters, just like most corporates, they couldn't give a flying **** about the people, just there wallets, sponsorships and the next TV rights deal.
We are really seeing a huge shift from what clubs used to be like, especially now that basically the AFL owns it all and has set up a system that strips away ownership of clubs and its accountability to its members.
For the sake of people's mental health, probably best to disengage the old mentality of tribal attachment and treat it as pure entertainment, if it is not entertaining then do not give them your money nor more importantly your time.
