Other teams may 'like' us now but we shouldn't confuse 'like' with 'feel sorry for'. I think people do have empathy for us.
Walking out of the ground on Friday night, I heard a 70-plus older St Kilda supporter say to her husband (and I quote word for word): "They are worse than ****en Collingwood supporters". She knew how bad we are and how bad we can get. She was of the vintage that would have grown up with us being the giants of the competition. She knew.
We will be the worst winners imaginable, which is not great to admit, but it's only natural considering how much emotional energy we have to let out. It's all gotta go somewhere.
Friday night was a start. Not having beaten them since 2003, I know I did a little dance on the way out of the stadium.
Don't worry Delib. Before too long, other teams' supporters will be hating us I can 100% guarantee it. Winning is not something we have been used to and we do have pretty exceptional circumstances to enjoy it when we finally are winning again.
The empathy will wear off pretty quick and they will wish we stayed in the quagmire of loserdom.
