There’s not a sport in the world where the fans don’t generally under and overrate their players as humans . If they’re a star , they can get away with mass murder, if they’re a reserves standard player they can get crucified for nearly letting their parking metre run out . At punt rd alone some of our whipping boys have been quality young men , some of the AFLs elite players have been known to be incredibly unpopular with others .
IMHO KB couldn’t have done more for the Tigers on field over his 403 games , as for he’s next 20 odd years he didnt do a great deal of good for our club .
Just because a player has been a star onfield for the club , dosent mean they’ll be the perfect role model
