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!

1. Collingwood (worst of all time including the future)

2. Geelong

3. Carlscum

4. Whoreform

5. Port Adel

6. Crows

7. Freo

8. Wet Coke

9. Essendrug

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.
