It's good to beat :

ADELAIDE because they are one-eyed South Australians who love nothing more than to stick it up Victorian based teams and it's good to shut their noisy little mouths up. Also, they're a big rich club and it is good to knock them off their perch.

BRISBANE because they think they are a lot better than what they are and it is good to put them in their place.

CARLTON because they are the most arrogant supporters in the AFL, who think they have a god given right to be the best. Great front-runners, who go silent when they are getting beaten. It's also great to shut the fat hole of John Elliott.

They are also very accustomed to winning so it is most enjoyable to force them to watch their side go down.

COLLINGWOOD because they are loud, one-eyed and obnoxious. It's good to beat them to let them know that there is an opposition team out there playing them, and that opposition team just whipped their ass! Great to shut them up.

FREMANTLE Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Seriously, because it means a win for your team. There is nothing particularly enjoying about seeing the Dockers lose other than it being a win for your club.

GEELONG because the town of Sleepy Hollow really gets on your nerves when the Cats get on a roll. It's good to keep the natives quiet, because there is nothing more annoying than a Cat fan bragging about how great the Cats were on the weekend.

HAWTHORN because since the early 1990's, these fans have started to get a bit of the arseh*le about them, so it is good to put them in their place. Brought up on a winning culture, they mistakenly believe that those good times have never gone by the wayside. It's also good to ensure that those brown and gold colours never get seen in September.

MELBOURNE because their fans drive Range Rovers, wear straw hats, go to the snow instead of going to the footy, own tartan rugs and love to shout, "Go Dees" . It's good to knock these smarmy fans off their high horse.

KANGAROOS because their fans are ultra competitive, arseh*le types, whose constant absorbance of other fans snide remarks about their club have made them strong willed and defencefull of their club. Too used to winning in recent years, so it is good to give them that losing feeling.

PORT ADELAIDE because their fans are so used to winning in the SANFL, and subsequently, they think they will automatically win a premiership in the AFL. Very arrogant and one-eyed, so it is great to give them that losing feeling and put them in their place.

RICHMOND because they are loud, one-eyed and bad tempered. Fun to beat them, as they always believe that they will turn their form around and this will be "their year". Fun to squash their dreams and shut them up, to send them home unhappy. Since their fans are great front-runners, it is good to keep them quiet.

ST.KILDA because they are also one-eyed and prone to be front-runners. Seem to have a dislike for all the other clubs due to their unsuccessfullness, so it is good to beat them and keep them quiet. They love to celebrate a win, which can be annoying for the opposition sides, so it is fun to beat them and keep their mouths shut.

SYDNEY because their fans love to hop on the great Sydney bandwagon. Also they, beat us by a point in 1996.

WEST COAST because they are parochial Western Australians who despise anything that comes within 1000km of Perth. It is good to keep these parochial types quiet, as they love to brag about how anything from W.A is superior to anything from the rest of Australia.

WESTERN BULLDOGS because their fans are optimistic and annoying. They are also a bunch of dirty, filthy mongrels who will conspire to do anything in the name of winning a football match. Great to beat them, because you know they will just hang about in the finals without actually doing anything, so why not deny them a finals spot all together for the greater good?


and last of all......


ESSENDON because........ummmmmm, their fans are arrogant and unbearable and because they always win. They love to talk up their team. They are also high in quantity, which means it is hard to go anywhere without bumping into one telling you how good they are. You could almost call them insufferable.......and I LOVE it !!

I agree with you pretty much right through that post (that must be a first).

The team i love beating the most is Sydney, the reasons:
1. Im from Sydney, so i stick it up my mates
2. I really despise just about everyone of their supporters. Almost all (about 99%) of the Swans Supporters, who have only been following footy since 96, no nothing about football and are just bandwagon followers (why do you think they're crowd averages were the lowest since 96 last year).
3. The way the Sydney press rights about Tony Lockett - as if he was a Swan his whole life, they seem to forget he played for St Kilda up until 1994.
4. Since 1997, the AFL has given the Swans good draws - 13 SCG games this year (it was originally going to be 15 SCG games, before it was changed)

That's really nice Dan, really nice.

Well, the comments aren't particularly nice for ANY of the teams. The list explains why it is enjoyable to beat each of the 16 teams, and it's not meant to make you feel good. I could spend time explaining why it's great when the Tigers - or any team for that metter - have a win (except when it is against Essendon), but the list is not about that.
 
Ok Dan, fair enough. But it isn't really nice to have your dreams squashed by a powerhouse team that can win whenever they want, wherever they want and do it so easily. If only all teams were like that (Richmond for one...).

WCE2000,

Just to clear up a misconception, Sydney were never going to have 15 games at the SCG, that was a misprint in the Murdoch press. They were always going to have 11 home games, plus a North and Doggies home game in Sydney (which is the decision of those repective clubs).

I don't think Sydney have a particularly easy draw this year either, 3 of last year's top 4 + Brisbane twice, and Adelaide and West Coast twice which at least means a difficult road trip.

This is all theoretical of course, as we won't really know who had a hard or easy draw until the end of the season, but on paper I don't think the Swans have it easy on this front
 
It's not the Swans fault that the Western Bulldogs and the Kangaroos are stupid enough to give uyp a home game to play in Sydney. The Swans are simply the beneficiaries of those two clubs willingness to play a home game at the home ground of a rival club.

I disagree slightly on your view of Brisbane :confused:
