Voted St Kilda as well. Wasn't keen on them before the Launceston debacle, but the way they carried on about it shot them to the top of my hate list. Collingwood would be next, for a club that reckon they're the Man U of the AFL, they're pretty unsuccessful by comparison.

It's going to be horrible if both clubs play off for the premiership.
It's all the SANFL's fault.

Crows and Port.

Adelaide because the majority of their fans know nothing about the game and seem to genuinely believe that
footy started in 1991.

Port because lets face it, growing up in SA you learn early that if you dont love them, you hate them. Also because they seem to think they have cornered the market in "tradition".

Both of them because of the automatic assumption that because you support an interstate team you must reside in that state.
The amount of times Ive been told to "F**k off back to Victoria" at Footy Park is laughable. When
I politely explain that I live in Adelaide and have done so most of my life but chose to keep supporting a team that I Followed for
20/26 years before the Crows/Power existed, The look of confusion and total lack of comprehension that a person can live in SA and NOTsupport an SA team makes my day every time.

GWS. The sport's biggest-ever waste of money, taking a 'club' to a bunch of people who couldn't give a toss.

Give the license to Tassie.

After '97 it was definitely the Crows, but now it has come back around to Essendon.

Geez Trev, you count 1998 as well?
I thought that was worse than '97.

Adelaide......full of supporters who have NFI about football.

-Most left the SANFL for dead and jumped on this corporate pile of s**t they call a football side. Claim to have had a fooball club for many years.
- More interested in BBQs in the carpark and what drink they are drinking.
- Jump ship when times are tough and call for the coaches sacking this year then when he gets a few wins...oh stay now.
- I have to live in Adelaide listening to all the bias BS they dribble in the media and read the crap about how good they are in the newspapers.
(can we have some balance in reporting please??)

No I am not a Power supporter.......Hawthorn actually.

Other sides not liked - Port and St.Kilda never really liked WCE either......

Rant over..... ;)
Is out of change.....thanks Cambridge Clarrie!!!

Spot on Trev. I got called a Victorian Bastard because I wore my Cat jumper (yet another loss) at Football Park. They were only half right ha ha.

any victorian team but number 1 would be collingwood

they are black and white, magpies, eddie, feral supporters, run the AFL, always given the easiest FIXTURE, receive way too much publicity given total lack of success.

Definitely St Kilda, closely followed by North Melbourne and Bulldogs.
Especially in comparison to how Fitzroy were treated.
All four should have been relegated back to form the basis of a new VFL.
North Melbourne especially for their arrogance in the 90's when at the time all they had to show as a club was 2 flags.

LMAO- the exact reason I picked the CROWS. Port fans are 'overrated' in the feraldom I reakon.

From a club perspective, both North Melbourne and Essendon. Worthy hawks adversaries, a victory over either of these is always satisfying.

From a supporter's perspective, the cats fans I am growing weary of, apart from those who I have had a healthy banter with over many seasons, eg REB, Wedgie and a couple of non-posting mates.

I've never understood the hatred many harbour for Collingwood. Christ if I was a Carlton fan I'd love em, after all the flags they have helped you get!


Albeit a biased commentary, I would have to agree.


Actually, they're probably on par I reckon.
I've had bad experiences with both.

And never been to a Collingwood game ever Booney.
Might have to before I can make an informed judgement.

I ignored the teams that don't actually exist yet - GWS and GC - in this poll.
I don't have any real experience of them to form an opinion from.

Collingwood's draw was pretty tough this year and the other clubs all want to play home games against the Pies at the G to maximise profits (as does the AFL of course). Until the fixture is a straight up home and away one then this will always be so.

I have no idea why but I cannot stand - never have - North Melbourne - (hate is a big word - but) I hate picking them in footy tips, I hate watching them, I just hate them (Sorry Dutchy) :lol:

If I had a second pick it would be West Coast - don't like them at all either...lol.

I also really like Collingwood, one of my favourite teams - and - even though I'm a crows supporter I don't mind Port Adelaide either.
