VFL 2019 Rd 11: Northern Blues vs. Footscray at Ikon

A cancer?

I know what he means.

It becomes infectious.

Players turn up get paid, do the minimum knowing they're a support act not the main event and rather than make the most of it, they take the Mickey out of everyone.

The behaviour spreads to other fringe players and before you know it, half your list is just going, and the other half are trying their guts out to raise standards.  In between are the kids that haven't worked out how good they will be and are having to work harder than they ever have before and wonder if it's all worth the trouble.
