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].

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
