Message: [QUOTE="Flutterby, post: 2187038, member: 1853"] Also in the past - players had "real jobs" to go to as well - they couldn't afford to be out and about drunk out of their minds until all hours. Plus they tended to live in the area where they played and were really just like anyone else around the suburb - they were a real part of their communities and not the 'protected species' they seem to be today and if they stuffed up their neighbors, the guy at who ran the corner store, their milkman - everyone would have let them know how unacceptable it was and they would have been ostracised from their community to a certain extent. And they saw playing footy as an honour. [/QUOTE]
