Premiership fans

[TheKanga]

Question - Have the fans/supporters manner afterwards changed the way you feel about a side/their fans after they win the premiership?

 

[keithrichards]

Yes.

Biggest gripe I have is with supporters over estimating their players based on being a part of the premiership.

Winning the flag gets you a free pass to say whatever at least for a week.
You are the champions after all.

Has it ever gone to far for you?
Were you arrogant after 2010?

No. I was just happy. After following us through the 90s and heartache of 0203, a flag was beautiful when it happened because after years of watching everyone else, it was *my* turn to enjoy championism.

 

[Righteo]

Generally no as I expect a certain level of gloating and buffoonery, if you pour your heart into this game like many of us do then I think it's fair enough too*

Collingwood fans after their last spent the next year assuming a flag gave them superior football knowledge than the rest of bigfooty.

Got old quick

I waa a little shitful to certain saints bf fans, but they well and truley deserved it

 

[Dogs_r_barking]

I think nothing could compare to some of the Cats fans, so arrogant.

I think you are entitled to kick up a little, but don't overdo it, you won't be Premiers forever, and you set yourself up for a good bake when you lose games.

My salt meter (yes i actually do have a salt meter) went off the scale when I saw this thread, particularly when I saw who the OP was.

What will north fans troll Richmond about now? The meaningless elim final win two years ago or forcing them to blow their cap on a norm smith and brownlow medallist?

 

[gavaniacono]

What was that murmur i heard from the depths of the ladder? Couldn't quite hear it from up here.

 

[ManOfClay]

North board is quality. Listing 11 Richmond premiership players and arguing north's bottom 11 is better so if the first lot can be premiership players in 2017 then north can win it in 2018 haha.

Same was said using players like fletcher roberts, shane biggs and zaine cordy last year.

And ziebell matches Martin as a forward.

You know who posted that right?

Hook line and sinker everytime, MoC is the buggest chump on the site for these things. Within minutes scurries to the mb for comment.

 

[ManOfClay]

Yeah let's pretend he and the nuffies were trolling

 

[Jables]

Geelong has never been trolled so hard as 2008, if they had won that year their gloating would never have stopped. There was a sign on the road to Geelong that was like remember the handbaggers, go Hawks or something like that. And the thank you letter to all the other clubs for their role in our premiership, North, Richmond and Fremantle copping it particularly bad. Then every Hawk fan was asking if Buddy or Cyril would become the greatest player of all time.

We got away with it that year because everyone was like 'shame they had to start playing this well while Geelong, the greatest team of all time, are around' all freaking year. Geelong fans were so bad the year after 07.

I don't think people realise what just happened. An entire generation of Richmond supporters who have copped s**t endlessly from every clubs supporters for their entire lives all of a sudden, out of nowhere, are the premiers and have bragging rights over everyone. We have a life time of 9th jokes, Tambling jokes, Fiora over Pavlich jokes, wooden spoon jokes, worse than Fitzroy jokes, less finals than Fitzroy jokes, lost a final to 9th jokes, where's Trent Jokes, 5 year plan jokes, bitchmond jokes, false dawn jokes.....

We remember the 13 straight losses to Geelong. We remember Carlton fans giving us s**t about their "annual round 1 percentage boost". We remember Essendon supporters giving us s**t after their drugged up players beat us is the dream time game. We remember Melbourne fans singing our song after we them beat them and handed them the spoon because they received picks 1 and 2. We remember Freo fans giving it to us when Mundy beat us after the siren (both times). We remember everyone giving us s**t when Karmichael Hunt beat us after the siren. And that's just the last 5-10 years.

Richmond supporters for the first time in their lives have a chance to give it back and there's nothing anyone can say in defence. Because Richmond are better than them. If anyone has a soft spot for us that will be gone in a few weeks. We are going to be the most insufferable mob of dickheads you've ever seen.

Absolutely
Last year I actually liked watching the Bulldogs play. Their midfield really was scintillating.
Interactions with their supporters have soured by view to the point I think the AFL would be improved by their absence. The consistent petty nastiness of their supporters at the ground, in trains, and even in a Hotel in Canberra is just disgraceful. On BF we required admin intervention on our board because it was becoming dysfunctional because of their trolling.

I travelled a bit this year and mixed with Crows supporters in Adelaide, North Supporters in Hobart and Richmond supporters in Melbourne with no problems.
I never want to interact with Bulldogs supporters, I'm sure they have some classy ones, but the probability is very low.

You forgot the microwave jokes

Geelong supporters had put in a strong bid this finals series, but have generally proved gracious and humble in their teams defeat - the mantle of worst supporters on BigFooty rightfully back with the bitter, salty NM contingent.

Yeah you say this but your insufferable arrogance would be nothing compared to what a Port supporter would have to put up with in SA for the next 6 months so go nuts
