Strongly disagree - the only thing keeping Melbourne supporters sane and spending their time and money investing in the club is being able to construct situations, false or otherwise, where others are worse off than they are. The game of relative, meaningless progress towards the 'premiership window' that teams are forever sliding in and out of somehow. It is an illusion, sure, but it's also the only way we can keep going.For me, when you're f'ed, there's no consolation in somebody else being more f'ed.
