News Collingwood/Richmond - Why The Hate?

[legendstatus]

They fluke one good season and think it makes up for 120 irrelevant years!

Did you know Richmonds players took a pay cut for Lynch?

I hate them double any other side including the scum. Grew up in the Richmond zoning area and so half the school barracked for the tigers and they were successful then, so i copped it at school every day. We couldn't beat them in finals that counted.
My brother was a Richmond supporter and gave it to me all the time as they had a good record against us so he always had it over me, especially in 1980.
Then to make it worse they got crap and my brother contracted cancer and the only thing he had to live for was Richmond games, and pretty much every game he attended while he was sick they lost.

i had repressed memories and then last year happened and it all came back, We cannot let it happen again. Please.

....imagine if we somehow poach Lynch...what an absolute pisser that would be.

Have never hated Collingwood. Always had a soft spot for them.
Probably would be my second team if forced to have one.
Richmond- hated their loud feral supporters in late 60's early 70's and they seem to have been reincarnated this past 2 seasons.
I think too often we hate teams for the wrong reasons, ie their supporters.
The actual teams are very likeable.

I think there is a darkness in their fans' collective soul that is best turned on the enemy at war. Until then they need to be interned in a camp for public safety.

This. Is....a MAGNIFICENT piece of prose. Just magnificent.

Yes. Have a civil conversation with a Richmond supporter, then they go “BUT PIES ONLY GOT 72,000 hahaha!”

They tend to ignore the question when I tell them that;

A) it was a semi final
B) it rained all day and the rain stopped at 7:00pm
C) it was freezing only 5 degrees
D) out of the 72,504 72,000 were Collingwood fans. Unlike Richmond who would of had 20,000 neutrals at the preliminary final
E) Collingwood hold the top 5 biggest home and away attendance records of all time and have been the most watched team in the AFL since 1897 and played majority of its home games at Victoria Park till around 1994 while Richmond who are ranked 4th of all time most watched clubs behind Essendon and Carlton have played at the mcg since 1965!!

Richmond are the biggest flogs of all time they are not loyal. I hate Essendon in the 90’s and early 00’s but Atleast I can respect their fans loyalty like Collingwood when they are performing badly on field they still get their hard core 30,000 turning up to most home games like the pies unlike Richmond who drew 6,088 fans in 1993 v West Coast round 14 princess park lol!! Hope they rot in hell

Because for 40 years they were irrelevant.

Nek minnit, one flag - the worst Premiership ever won (Bulldogs territory), and apparently they're untouchable.

If Richmond win I will be cheering very loudly for either west coast or Melbourne! Which team will give them more trouble??

Hope Melbourne win only because Richmond might boast about how big they are but I’ll tell you 70,000 will be cheering on the dees in the grand final.

But if us pies win I’ll be walking around Richmond all week just smiling#silenceisgolden

Richmond fans are easily the worst in the AFL.

My first ever game live was Pies/Tigers at mcg. It was mid 90s but I do have the excuse that I grew up in country NSW and that was my 1st trip to Melb.

Amazing experience for my 1st live game.

I have always hated Carlton fans more than any other team. Essendon were always 2nd. However Richmond are rising with a bullet. How arrogant are they?

This.
Visit their board for 10 minutes. Read some posts.

I spent about half an hour there today, until I started to feel a bit queasy and had to stop reading.
Thank the heavens they’re not as good as they think they are — we have a chance of beating them on Friday. Actually, if we do I might go back there.

 

[caloschwaby]

As a young supporter I've felt more of a hatred toward Richmond than Carlton, probably because Carlton hasn't had any impact on Collingwood in recent memory

My sister in law is Satan. And her whole brood barrack for The Tuggers.

Can’t stand them. Worst part about having to play them in a Prelim is to have to hear about them all week.

Pond scum.

How will you stop yourself from gloating when we win?

I don’t plan on stopping myself
