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!


Truly bizarre that 100% of the responses aren’t for Collingwood 

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
