Why do you hate them?

[BK Eaglesfan]

Ok, so many of us have one team we hate (or dislike for those don't like the word hate) more than the others......and in other threads which of these clubs has been asked.

So, I'm interested here in why you have one club you dispise over all others. Feel free to comment via a reply as to which team and expand on your reason.

By Playing Style over the Years I mean for example, some supporters who started watching footy in the 90's may dislike the Bulldogs because of the Liberatore, Romero etc. Or perhaps you're newer to footy and you can't stand Hawthorn's game plan, or the ugly ducklings of early 05's turned you off the Swans.

For me it's the Bombers........I respect them, but they have always had an arrogance about them, knocked us out of the finals several times in the 90's, inflicted one of our worst defeats (the Windy Hill massacre) and have just generally been a thorn in our side ever since 87'.

Collingwood, because they are there!!!!!

collingwood

who do they think they are.. controlling the afl

1. big games ( anzac, queens bday - always them )
2. making home side change jumpers which clash agst them ( eg NM, port )
3. changing names of grounds to suit themselves. Olympic Park

st kilda (maybe coz theve had the wood on us in recent times), i dont like their players, they seem arrogent

Geelong, the mortal enemy, cat v dog,,, beating them is ever so sweet

Richmond, judas brown j/k,,, i like browney as a footballer i just dont like the rest of the tigers and their coach

St. Kilda.

It pisses me off how they got there good players. From finishing last for about 15 years in a row.

Hawthorn - mid 80s rivalry still lingers

 

[Bombs Away]

Carlton for rivalry (but that is respect also)
Collingwood for their supporters (i wont go into stereotyping them either)

I chose the one incident option. That one incident is the incident of 1990.

 

[SouthSwans]

St Kilda and Geelong.

I hate their supporters so much. Both are exactly the same.

 

[MinerBoy]

Essendon - supporters - arrogance.

 

[finrod]

St Kilda and Geelong.

I hate their supporters so much. Both are exactly the same.

hmmmm this one puzzles me a bit... Maybe we have the same type of supporters - we have both been down for a long time without winning a premiership and have a tendency to get carried away when we are doing well, but otherwise I see no reason to hate Geelong or St Kilda supporters.

As for me, the team I hate is West Coast, because of Grand Final losses in the 90s AND because their supporters are so one-eyed and gullible. Close second would be Adelaide...

 

[VanBerlo=God]

hate them all, finally respect wce enuf to not hate them anymore, after spending so much energy hating them, i realised there hasn't been two better matched teams in a long long time...

 

[Richo83]

Essendon - supporters - arrogance.

If Essendon was more up themselves their heads would be permanently stuck in their bowels. It's not just their fans, their whole team is arrogant.

First time I've ever agreed with you.



StKilda too, but just because they're total crap, and that they seem to think they have some sort of right to pay out on other teams, and then tell others they are a chance at winning a premiership when everyone knows they have no hope whatsoever. Did I mention they're just pathetic in every way possible?

 

[EagleMan87]

Carlton fans on here have me wishing they finish 16th again...

It's not all of them by any means, but the vocal ones are all idiots(parrot, CattyBossDog, Audas, whippersnapper, thylacine60, In Like Flint) who make people like Gunnar look reasonable. Their arrogance without reason irritates me.

 

[CattyBossDog]

Their arrogance without reason irritates me.

We have reason. We're the most successful club in VFL/AFL history by miles.

Just think, in 100 years your lot will still be trying to work out a way to catch up to us.

Bullshlt! It all came down to astute recruiting and Grant Thomas' extraodinary people skills!

Heh heh heh. At least you're 'honest'.
