As there are not too many week-to-week threads & banter happening so far this off-season, other than us sacking our coach o_O & no doubt copping another media beating after the draft next week, I thought i'd start this thread to get an idea which team everyone loves to beat, with another category of which team to you love us really beating up on...

For mine, my top 10 of teams I just love to beat, in order of most satisfaction, are:

1. Carlton
2. Collingwood
3. Geelong
4. Essendon
5. Hawthorn
6. Brisbane
7. Sydney
8. Richmond
9. North Melbourne
10. Adelaide

Top 5 I love us beating up on, in order of enjoyment, are easily:

1. Carlton - those games in the 2000s when we smashed them by 100+ points were just fantastic & almost, I stress almost, make up for the previous 100 years of Carlton beating up on us!

2. Collingwood - It's been a while since we've smashed the Pies, but I distinctly remember us giving them a hiding at Docklands in 2006. Think we won by 10 goals. I hope we do it again soon because I really miss that warm & fuzzy feeling!

3. Essendon - seriously, I have not enjoyed a game v Essendon so much as I did last year when we absolutely killed them by 70+ points. It was this loss that started their drop down the ladder

4. North Melbourne - don't know why, I just love it when we destroy Norf!

5. Adelaide - after sitting Southern Stand front row centre wing of our 1997 Grand Final loss to the Crows, there is nothing better reminiscing of the day in 1992 when we killed them in their first year in 1991 at Moorabbin by 131 points. (Plugger kicked a lazy 12.6 that day too)
 
I love beating anybody and everybody! Given that we are "supposed" to finish winless and last in 2014, every win will be celebrated with added enthusiasm.
 
1. Carlton - hate with a passion

Still my favourite match of all time. Should have buried them by 150 points.
2. Carlton - see above.

Actually, Carlton would occupy all 10 spots.
 
1. Essenscum - foul bunch; shocking when they lose, worse when they win
.... Daylight ....
2. Carlton - tried to get rid of us; never to be forgiven
.... Daylight ....
3. WB - pack of absolute whingers
4. NM - deluded about their importance
5. Collingwood - feral
6. Fremantle - Whispers In The Sky, etc.
7. Hawthorn - arguably the most arrogant fans in the league
8. Sydney - the concessions, "Bloods Culture";what a load of crap
9. The Newbies - watching us struggle for 140 years and then seeing their flag-giving concessions; galling
10. Richmond - fun watching them eat their own

I have moved on from my dads views which were:
  1. Really dislike all the non-Victorian teams
  2. Especially hate any successful non-Victorian teams
  3. Dislike other Victorian teams
Mine is a more balanced approach
  1. Really dislike Carlton
  2. Really dislike Essendon
  3. Really dislike Collingwood
  4. Really dislike any team Ross Lyon coaches post St Kilda
 
I survived the 80's supporting St Kilda and thus this affects my choices however for mine my dislikes are shaped by that teams' supporters more than the team themselves:

1. Collingwood - feral in the extreme enough said; I remember Victoria Park and the spitting and the abuse. I was there when Winmar raised his shirt :thumbsu:
2. Adelaide - 1997 and they are south australians, enough said
3. Essendon - very arrogant and have loved beating them every single time that we do, especially when Sheedy used to beat us in the coaches box!
4. Carlton - very arrogant and well, u you now the rest. See Essendon description above. Still love we beat them to BJ!
5. Richmond - they are just as feral as Collingwood but we are only seeing this now as they are starting to experience what success feels like
6. Wet Toast - don't like 'em, ducking umpires' pets
7. Footscray - used to hate that McGuinness and Libba snr would tear us a new one as well as Romero!

They're the teams I dislike the most. I don't mind Geelong as I guess I respect them and enjoyed the battles that we had.
 
1 I hate Carlton most - Let them rot
2 I adore beating Collingwood
3 I love beating Essendon
4 I am not enamored of Fremantle fans at all
5 I have a set against Melbourne fans
6 I am not fond of Richmond fans
7 I can barely handle WCE fans
8 Maybe Adelaide is next on the hate list
9 And Port
10 Then Brisbane

I'm like this, but have North ahead of Brisbane just because of the North supporters..
 
1. Collingwood - how could anyone EVER get sick of beating those ferals!
2. Richmond - also feral and fun to taunt about their recent lack of success.
3. West Coast - especially at Subiaco.
4. Adelaide - a little too passionate.
5. Brisbane - have hated them since they won the flag in 2001-2003.
6. Port Adelaide - South Australian equivalent of Collingwood.
7. Essendon - beating any clubs with superior attitudes is always nice.
8. Geelong - still need revenge for 2009.
9. Fremantle - Ross Lyon, nuff said.
10. Carlton - cheer squad is really scum.

The rest, meh, some of them I feel sorry for (e.g. North and WB)
