Collingwood. Wherever you go their ferals are always there. Catching an Epping line train after the 1990 grand final was horrible. Enough said.
There is a very simple rule in our household
ABC
Anyone But Collingwood or (Fark) Carlton
It’s only irrational if you also don’t despise the AwFuL.
This confession comes as no surprise, based on your history of posting. For your own mental health l suggest you either find another team or another sport to follow.
As for me? Carlton as a direct result of Wes Lofts pushing Alan Noonan (l mean the real one, not the Blitzer and #10 long before Darren Bewick) in the back in time on in the last quarter, 30 mt out and directly in front. I am not saying Noonan would have kicked the winning goal, but being taller and in the front position he was afforded no opportunity to even get a hand on the ball. The Blooos won by 3 points and began their dynasty. All this without our captain and regular CHF Ken Fraser. Lofts and Caaarlton cheated and l will never forgive or forget that.
Agree with Essendon at 1.
Carlton / Collingwood don’t bother me as clubs, it’s the fans that bother me… they were calling flagpies in their first practice game last year and
Stuck with it all season. Bothered me it happened all because of their fans.
Carlton fans too, calling for Voss’s head then the turnaround love fest was sickening
I remember their fans vividly waiving me out of the G in 99 and again in our Hird led finals where we got smashed. Then them taking our finals spot after we beat them. Y’all know what I’m talking about.
My gripe is with west coast… I can’t describe it but living in Perth does that to you.
Runners up is port Adelaide from the Wanganeen moment to the moment they took Hardwick. Hird asked Williams on the footy show why that year would be any difference , between getting over the finals hump , Williams looked right at Hird and said Hardwick, with that cocky grin as if to say “your club messed up and we love it”. Just that smirk was enough. Then facing us this early 2000’s when we were helpless, no Lloyd and/ or Fletch was a gift to them. They always had something of ours and took full advantage…
This is the kind of history lesson I love seeing on Blitz.
Edit: Meant to reply to the Noonan story.
FC, then 3121.
Full of Libs and Coppers my old man would say.
- Collingwood
- 1990; I was only 10 years old.
- Mainly making jokes about their supporters. And also repeatedly watching clips of Zakas goal. And waking up grumpy every ANZAC day.
I used to hate Collingwood and Carlton equally the most. Both have obnoxious and arrogant supporters who always liked to give it to us when their team was doing well. But my feelings have mellowed somewhat towards Collingwood whose coach and current players seem like decent people. I have recently developed a hate for Hawthorn. I despise their coach Mitchell who was very disrespectful of our players and club during the saga and the fact that he has ended up with Jobes brownlow makes it even worse.
I will say that perhaps the most obnoxious thing I’ve ever heard is that awful theme song as I made my way out of the Ponsford after the 1999 prelim.
I don’t do this for me, I do it for all you idiots that refuse to acknowledge that you are in an abusive relationship with the club.
This thread is where we get to find out who’ll be involved in trashing Windy Hill come September
I have a similar thing about Brisbane, the nucleus of which is 2001 of course, just before I moved to QLD.
Your martyrdom has not gone unnoticed.
Not sure I hate any club except for everything about Fark Carlton, but I do hate Supporters from Hawthorn, St Kilda and West Coast.
However the worst Supporters ever are from Essendon, amd the only time I was ever ejected from the G was when I punched a Bombers Supporter sitting behind me who wouldn’t stop abusing our Players. We have some very vile Female Bomber Supporters who sit two rows behind us at Marvel, who also abuse Bomber players with some very poor language.
Top 4:
Mayblooms
Fark Carlton
Collingwood
Port Adelaide
My hate for the Mayblooms stems from the eighties rivalry through to the crap they and their supporters threw at us during the saga. The only time you know who they are is when they emerge from the compost heap when they are winning.
I think it actually might be Essendon.
I hate what they’ve become. They are an utterly pathetic and afraid club. I hate barracking for them. Its nothing short of embarrassing.
I dont really care about other football clubs.
Its weird. I look at Essendon with such disgust, I almost want them to lose every game by 100 points and then fold completely as an entity so I dont have to continue the long joyless agony that is being an Essendon Supporter.
Having said that…fark Carlton.
The hawks. Originally because I had a hawks supporting friend who was one of those people who gloated endlessly whenever they won and didn’t give a ■■■■ when they lost, which is the worst kind of supporter. But what really pushed me over the edge was having to watch them win three in a row while we were neck deep in the saga with Clarkson and Mitchell in particular getting heaped with praise for being utter ■■■■■. They are now embedded deep in my subconscious as the most arrogant, insufferable, heartless, giant ■■■■ of a team in the league.
I too live in Perth…and feel your pain.
But haven’t the last few years been absolutely delightful ![]()
It used to be Carlton.
Now it’s Collingwood.
Hawthorn would be up there if they mattered a scintilla of stale ■■■■ to anyone.
