View Full Version : Most Hated Team
Who is Richmonds most hated rival?
A Collingwood supporter I know said that the most die-hard Collingwood fans all hate StKilda more than anyone else, that made me think who do we hate the most.
I would guess that the Bulldogs are our new hated rival and not the traditional Collingwood, Essendon or Carlton. I think that it used to be Essendon after Wanganeen hit Michael Gale in the 1995 friday night draw we had with them but I think that Libba has changed all that now.

Carlton are scum.
Yep, Carlton for me too! (Though in a strange twist, Carlton are also probaly the club outside of Richmond that I admire the most! That is I admire their culture of accepting nothing but the best and consistently being successful.
It is my belief that Richmond can learn more from Carlton that we can of any of the other teams.)

This is true, they are hardly ever at the bottom of the ladder and where more consistenly in the finals than Essendon in the 90's. I tend to notice that their supporters don't bag their own players as much, not like some team's supporters we know (Hello Chris Naish).

Unlike CJH, I am not inclined to say anything nice about the Carlton Football Club.
I rate Carlton, bin Laden and tofu about the same.

I've always hated the kangaroos for some reason but after this years incident in round 2 against the bulldogs.

definetly without a doubt carlton closely followed by collingwood with the bulldogs catching up fast altho it may be short lived:D
cheers!
There there TT settle down big fella
Did the 1982 Grand Final really warp ya that bad ?
I loathe the Tigers but don't really hate them as i feel Richmond has lost our respect and mutual loathing (IE Essendon or Hawthorn) in the last 20 years.

Hated Carlton a long time before 1982.
Not terribly fond of any organisation run by the mafia.
Yes that is an oft told lie TT - We've been run by the Triad and several other orgainised crime syndicates but not the mafia. Still the Tigers were once run by a convicted Con Man and once nearly had to hand over one of their premiership cups to the sheirff's department so u can't talk HEHE

If you're a true Richmond supporter, there's only one public enemy number one - Bluebaggers.
Mind you, while i hate 'em, I have the best fun with their supporters. A healthy hate 'em I'd say.
Now Bulldogs - not much luv or respect there.

I'm a little suprised the Crows haven't got any votes after we tried (unsuccessfully) to pinch Holland. Brayshaw & Frawley were certainly munching plenty of angy pills at the time. Oh well, I guess we must be one of the more loved teams! Cheers.
