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’m guessing that this was the Pakenham train.

    It's actually very difficult to single out one because I vehemently hate all the other original VFL teams. However, I do reserve a particularly nasty place in my bowels for Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon.

    ( I don't mind the Swans and the Giants ) 

    When a decision must be made though, I just can't go past the particularly appropriately named "filth".

    Uncle you must've have had some sort of buffer in matches vs this lot to plonk them into your "don't mind" basket.

    Some of their supporters are the most arrogant and insufferable i've experienced over the years.  Especially in finals.

    Norf also have some of the worst i've encountered.

    I voted Collingwont but the Hawks & Bombers were right behind.

    We needed a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th vote here!

    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.

    No words can describe my hatred for Essendon, no one comes close to them for me.

    Jaded from what i've experienced this is common "entitled arrogance / bullying" behavioral traits from this scum and has been for decades going back to the 80s.

    I've not only seen this at grounds/games over the years but also from an (indirect) corporate boss with Hawthorn player heritage (a Polkinghorne, didn't play) who bullied plenty he came in to contact with in my workplace.

    Don't know what it is about the Hawks but they tend to be followed by some of the worst of the worst.  Old Jeff another great example.

    Very surprised Freo, Bris & Sydney haven’t got more votes — but I guess the Pies just steal the limelight too easily on this one!

    1. Essendon. The Sheedy era, the 2000 GF, the drugs scandal and Hird's unapologetic hubris. I hope that their streak of not winning a final continues infinitum. I was there the day Whelan ironed out Hird and it is the only time in my life I have applauded a player's suffering. 

    2. Carlton. I grew up in the Carlton zone where they won multiple flags and we were perennial bottom 4. Their supporters are by far the most insufferable. 

    3. Collingwood. This is deep grained and genetic (I am 4th generation Dees) The Eddie Maguire era solidified it and it moved from legislation to constitution. Irrevocable.

     

    Sums it up perfectly 

    only thing I’ll add, the Maynard incident last year and what followed will never be forgotten wrt Collingwood

    Until last year's finals I would have voted Adelaide. But after that final against the pies it is a no contest. I have said it before their supporters chanting while Gus lay unconscious on ground  has branded them forever.

    I hear ya Ang. I hate ‘em with every fibre of my being. I started hating them when I was 10yo and it’s only gotten deeper over the years. I hate everything about that club. I hate their players, their past-players, their supporters, the children and grandchildren of their supporters, their song, their emblem… their very existence. But you know what I hate the most about them? The fact that they elicit this level of hatred, which would never be known to me but for them. It’s too much hatred for one little person. 🤬🤬🤬

    Collingwood but West Coast and Sydney not far behind. Essendon would be 2nd but they are a joke and have been for 20 years.

    I realised more on the weekend its Hawthorn. Seeing there fans watch another hiding by us is very satisfying. I dont really rate there list and can see them being bottom 4 for a long while. North should leapfrog them in a few years too.

    I grew up with the understanding like so may others that I supported Melbourne first and then any team playing Collingwood. And that's still the case.

    However, one change is that whereas I also used to despise Collingwood supporters the most, I now have Richmond supporters on top of that particular table.

    (For the avoidance of doubt, I chose Collingwood in the poll. And it is certainly a lot easier to detest them when they're actually a good football team.)

    1. Geelong: It's starting to wane a bit now that Ducking Sookwood has retired and Dangerfield is slowing up, but the sheer smugness that comes out of that club, led by their coach C.Scott and the aforementioned leaders, is too much for me to handle. Them being good every year and never going away adds to it too. Can't stand them.

    2. Port Adelaide: They are just so cringe and they have had a never ending cycle of hateable players, from the Tredrea and Cornes brothers era through to today. Achieved nothing of note but have that arrogance and smugness about them.

    3. Essendon: They've been irrelevant for so long but the early 2000s and peptides saga hasn't been forgotten. 

    4. Richmond/Collingwood/Carlton: All sort of the same to me. Insufferable fans and not teams I want to see do well, but their actual teams don't bother me.

    I actually feared for my life at an Essendon match. Their supporters are downright aggressive and threatening in a violent fashion. About 10 years ago I was on Richmond station waiting for a train after we beat the Pies. This nuff nuff approached me and started mouthing off at me and was right in my face. Some lovely guy came to my rescue but TBH as I do lots of boxing, trained in self defence and am quite fit plus a good head taller than this loser, I could have handled him no problem. He is lucky he didn’t land on the tracks and got taken out by the next train.

    Essendon supporters scare me the most.

    I’m trying to avoid voting based on traditional rivalries…I experienced the birth of one in the late 50’s/early 60’s (can you guess what it might have been? 😉).

    I’ve gone for Brisbane, who I’ve had a hatred for over the past few years, and which has grown deeper in more recent times, all at the hands/mouth of mostly one individual… Dane Zorko!!!

    I’m actually a little surprised that at the time of submitting my vote, I was the only one to select them.

    Really depends on the era and who is in the teams at the time. Dirty, grub like players and club cultures (dare I say it) influence my dislike for teams.

    1. Colon-wood. Always have a swathe of [censored] in their team at any given time.

    2. Geelong and Sydney are a tie for second, much the same as Pies but to lesser degree.

    3. Essendon more so now historically, talking the Sheedy era and drugs saga.

    Yes their response to Brayshaw being ironed out in Maynard’s third effort to hurt a player in first 10 mins of a game, just showed they are in the majority a pack of dead s..ts!

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
