One person voted Bulldogs. How can anyone hate the Bulldogs more than Essendon, Collingwood, and/or Carlton ???! Genuine question. 

I've never had to throw a punch or inflict physical violence upon another footy fan but every time it's been a thumb and a finger away, it's been Bullfrog supporters. So from my point of view and I chose Essendon and the Hawks as my most hated Victorian teams, I understand that someone chose them. 

 

It’s pretty simple for me.

I collectively despise Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon the most.

However only one team’s supporters have the ability to remain completely incorrigible, delusional and arrogant beyond the realms of comprehension, even when they are garbage….and that’s Essendon. 
This comes even after having to restrain myself during games from the baiting of Collingwood supporters in the past couple of years. 

I have three metrics - There is the perception of the club, and then there are the fans of the club, and then the players. It has always been the tightest of races with Collingwood out in front now on all 3 counts. I have worked at Vic Park, their fans match the cliches. The fact that they won 4 GF in a row, bar them in ‘58 we would have had 6 in a row, generations of reasons to hate. And of course the ‘23 QF…funnily enough I have had grudging respect for many pies players it just doesn’t outweigh the hate.

Essendon, mad hate leavened by some of the Madden brothers who I have met and consider good blokes, but then when you consider basterds like Sheedy, Long, Fletcher, Hird, Lloyd, Wallis, Duckworth, Andrews and Stringer, well its like the scales of justice with an elephant on one side and a mouse on the other. Supporters extremely arrogant.

Carlton, Pig’s Ar$e Elliot, Sticks, 99% of their supporters, very small redeeming factors like Justin the clumsy giraffe, Doull, Jezza and Kouta. It is intolerable that they beat us in the semi last year, still burns

Daylight to the rest, nothing beyond antipathy. 

 

 

Being in my 70's it was always Collingwood (bought up that way), however times have changed. After the 2000 GF and the thugery of Essendon, the pure nastiness of their supporters AND THEN the drugs issue are my most hated. 

Then there would be Geelong. The AFL's darling as well as the Vic government's drop of millions for "Taxpayer Park" while we have not had ONE DOLLAR.

You can almost raffle the rest, however Carlton (like bad cream) is rising to the top.

Collingwood cannot escape a mention as in general their supporters are a sight to behold and their ignorance of rules is mind blowing. Loved previous TV stations before Ch7 highlighting some of the worst looking, toothless & angry supporters. You didn't need to be a lip reader to know their comments Just like sheep following each other. Love the way Pendlebury plays the game (well he was a Melbourne supporter as a child) but the thugery of some of the others is just [censored].

 


This type of question is like a Catholic Sophie standing in front of the Nazis with 17 children. 🧐🫣🫣

 

 


 

 

Was surprised there wasn’t more Hawthorn hate. They owned us for a LOT of years.
Their supporters’ innate belief that another dynasty is just around the corner infuriates me more than anything in the game.

I’ve genuinely never had issues with Hawks fans beyond being arrogant when they were a powerhouse side, which I don’t think is unusual for any supporter group. 

However on the train ride home yesterday, a bunch of highly intoxicated meathead Hawks fans were incredibly aggressive and abusive to the Melbourne fans, including the kids around them. Dropping f bombs, threatening to beat up anyone who told them to be quiet etc.

 It was disgusting and downright scary behaviour. I was relieved they got off the train soon after my dad did or I would have removed myself and waited for another train. In 2024 I would think this type of [censored] would be reserved only for the lowest of Collingwood scums, but apparently not. Haven’t felt this unsafe since the Pies final last year. Not ok!

I did teacher training with the Madden brothers and they were indeed good guys, but their supporters are the poplar opposites.

Yeah, I despise Collingwood with a passion, aren't far behind, their supporters are tools.

Collingwood. This should be the only option in the poll. They're arrogant scum and their supporters have been violent and abusive at games I've attended. 

Western Bulldogs a runner up for me. Had poor experiences at some of their games too.

I couldn't get over their (pies fans) behaviour last year. They beat us in a close final and then they  were angry and abusive after the game.

Happiness does need to seem to be in their DNA. Either just angry or gloatingly abusive when things go their way.

It must be blowing Nev Jettas mind.

The Collingwood hate runs long in our family.  My mother raised us all to be Demons.  She'd sing songs like this to us:

"Good old Collingwood forever,

They KNEW how to play the game.

SIde by side they fell together,

To uphold the Demons' name!

Hear the barrackers a squealin',

Just like Collingwood do!

For the premiership's a cakewalk,

For the good old Red and Blue!"

Small correction if you don't mind. "Good old Collingwood FOR NEVER" is what the cheersquad used to sing back in the 60"s

See, now, I'm a more nuanced type. Qualitative not quantitative, y'know?

What I need is something like those kids' puzzles where you have to match the animal from the left column to its home in the right column.

bird, wombat, snail v shell, nest, burrow

For example choose from Collingwood, Hawthorn, Essendon, Carlton, West Coast on the left column.

Then add contempt, disgust, disdain, irritation, hostility in the right column.

 


For a long time, I hated St Kilda the most because of some people I had the displeasure of knowing.  

These days, it's mainly Collingwood (for the many reasons expounded by people above) and Carlton that draw my ire.  A small corner of me hates Richmond due to one of their fans as well, but that's trivial.

I stand (uh sit) corrected!


Eagles had gotten themselves right up there for me. Hard to live in the west as a vic supporter and not develop a constantly burning ember of hatred for them. However, cwood and the media sycophancy have done much in previous couple of years for them to regain the utmost of my contempt. Well earned you [censored] heads. Can't wait for the next time we face them

Yep. It’s not enough to enjoy a win, they feel the need to make oppo supporters miserable, at the game and on the trip home. Hope they have a [censored] year, this and every year. 

 

This was an interesting poll for me.

I thought it was obviously a no brainier but I'll have a crack.

No surprise on the team but....

 

SPOIL ALERT

 

 

I thought 52% for Pies was low.

Also nobody really likes  Essendon but I don't think they would come in second.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
