While I understand that point, I think the the heights are so much more memorable than the depths.
Wayne Carey was an extraordinarily good footballer, so too Plugger. I used to just go to the footy to watch them play. Flew up to Sydney to watch plugger kick his 100th, Duck having 28 and kicking 6 against Port in finals in 1999 are far more vivid memories than a crappy last year or two
