Which club do you hate the most?

[Hawk Hawkins]

Bump.

Last week it was Geelong, this week it is *.

I honestly forgot how much I hated them until this week. Some rivalries come and go, but this one will last forever.

 

[crazywildhorse]

I picked the Bombrés, but the way Geelong are going about it this week, they are are heading down the respect list pretty fast.

 

[grumbleguts]

I feel like changing my pick. I did this before * got away with cheating.

Should I add Joel Selwood to the Poll?

Yes.

Do you want Essendon to come second???

How often can this happen?

Beat and avenge a despised premiership rival that stole the most damaging forward the game has seen in acrimonious circumstances by 10 goals.

Demoralise a recently respected yet bitter premiership rival by 10 goals.

On Sunday we have a chance to beat an historically hated premiership rival who cheated the entire competition purely to satiate the rampant ego of some flog who hates us more than anything.

If we can street these flogs by 10+ goals then I demand a 3 dvd commerative pack. Could a better 3 game block be imagined??

Throw the West Coast beating Carlton by 10+ goals game from tonight in as the steak knives.

That's not in 3 consecutive games...

It will be to me once i watch them 2013 -2014 -2015 ?

How about you divide Geelong into two:

Geelong
Geelong with Selwood, Scott and Motlop.

 

[Hawkas1988]

My respect for the cats has plummeted of late, how can you respect a team with that many whinges and sore losers led by the biggest sook in the game.

Their club and supporters are so upset with our recent success and how we are actually close to bettering their dominant period. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside how much we continually hurt them.

 

[Dipper]

I'm liking Collingwood more and more since this thread started and it's got absolutely nothing to do with anything that they've done.

Haven't we already bettered their period anyway?

3-1 in finals

But please use his correct name.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Geelong working hard to hit the lead here.

I hated but respected them when they were beating us all the time.

Now they're divinng, whinging and accomplishing missions even when we beat them. They've lost their class. Sure they've aways been free kick drama queens, but the last couple of years they've lost their way in how they hold themselves.

The thing that has amazed me with their supporters on this forum is, they won 3 flags in 5 seasons from 2007 to 2011, far more than most clubs could ever dream of, and yet losing 2008 GF appears to have completely ruined it for them. They spend more time whinging about Hawthorn than enjoying their successes. Strange attitude.

As a club, I always admired them, but to allow their craptain (yes, the r is intentional) to come out on national TV and make insinuations about our players in the way he has, then my respect for Geelong has dwindled. They should have either came out and make accusations themselves that they were prepared to back up, or issue a public apology. They've done neither, and I'm very disappointed in them.

I can see Selwood becoming Geelong's coach in much the same way Hird is at Essendon.

I've often wondered about their so-called "era of dominance". The only seasons they dominated (and were minor premiers) were 2007 and 2008 (until the GF). When they went top in 2009 and 2011 they weren't even minor premiers, and didn't make the GF in 2010. Doesn't suggest "dominance" to me. They were good, but that's where I draw the line.

It's a question of definition. 3 in 5 is certainly no dynasty. It's not even an 'era'. It's a good period of success. The critical may even say 'purple patch'.

 

[Hawkk]

4 flags or more in a sustained period is really what is required to have an era

The Cats run was really no different to our 70s period (1971, 1976, 1978 with RU in 1975 and PF in 1974, 1977 v 2007, 2009, 2011 with RU in 2008 and PF in 2004, 2010, 2013)

That said our current run is probably better than the Cats or the 70s Hawks given we b2b'd

Their winning percentage even withstanding they were not always minor premiers was extremely good. The lions never achieved anything even close to that and are held up as the modern benchmark owing to their premiership success.

The Lions achieved something far more impressive. They defended their title on two consecutive occasions.

Whether it was 2008, 2010 or 2012 the Cats squibbed it on 3 consecutive occasions. But I guess they were / are flat track bullies...especially with the 7/8 games a season they play at KP
