3 Teams you like, 3 teams you hate and reason why.

[YellowandBlackBlood]

Likes:
Richmond
West Coast: Superbly run organisation with respect to on field success. Their recruiting is legendary. Watchout for them in 2012/13, if not earlier.
North: True blue collar side. Has done well despite substandard facilities. They demand respect with their never-say-die attitude.


Dislikes:
Carlton: Cheats, then tankers and have presidents that have been some of the biggest corporate thieves in Australias history.
Carlton: Bought off Judd via undertable tactics (Visy ambassador? what a joke!). Still cheating!
Collingwood: Thought the away jumper argument with North was so big bully like, Eddie should have got the strap followed by detention!

 

[That's deliberate]

Like : Apart from the Mighty Hawks

1) Geelong: Love playing them in Grand Finals. always a great game with the correct result.

2) North Melb: Best banter between 2 clubs during a game at the MCG you're ever likely to experience. Been to the last 10 MCG encounters and the gags are flying thick and fast from both ends. Super stuff. Combined clubs female talent is also exemplorary.

3) Sydney: Sydney women are phenomenal, end of story.

Detest:
1) Colligwood: do you really required an explanation
2) Port Power: See above
3) Carlton and Essendon - Loser clubs who will not win another flag- bookmark it - The days of paying for premierships are well and truly over - will never ever win another flag. EVER. There supporters are filth

 

[StringyDog]

Like;

Bulldogs - Obvious

Port Adelaide - Don't know why just like, maybe cause they hate Adelaide as well

Richmond - Can be feral but are passionate


Dislike;

Essendon - Supporters every year saying how much they are going to improve, generally clueless.

Hawthorn - Supporters have the "little man syndrome" where they think Hawks are one of the big clubs due to extra cats and dogs on their membership tally and a couple of years profits, by far largest w***er base on Bigfooty.

Adelaide - Will never forget those prelims

 

[StonesThrow]

I hear alot of people say this but it doesn't make alot of sense when the head football writer is a port fan.

 

[StonesThrow]

Adelaide - The media here in SA are so biased towards them its not funny.

woops was meant to quote this

 

[pazza]

Likes:

1. Essendon - naturally
2. Hawthorn - although it is mainly out of respect by how they now play the game - not like they used to.
3. (tied) Footscray and North Melbourne - proof that even if you don't have the cash to make it, if you have the right spirit, then you can.

Dislikes:

1. St. Kilda - Never seen a club so embrace mediocrity as much as they have done.
2. Geelong - still prone to periods of softness.
3. Collingwood - feral - simply feral.

 

[El_Scorcho]

The advertiser isn't the only form of media in Adelaide, and if you'd been paying attention, you'd have noticed that a buttload of Port supporters wanted to join your "send rucci into retirement" crusade last year.

You get more coverage in all forms of media, the majority of those on TV, radio and in print are Crows fans, and it shows. I'm not blaming the media or the Crows. The Crows are the biggest market in SA, and so it would be silly businesswise not to give them the biggest coverage, but it just means non Crows fans have to hear about them and how well the media person thinks they are going day in day out.

Hawthorn - Supporters have the "little man syndrome" where they think Hawks are one of the big clubs due to extra cats and dogs on their membership tally

Except they don't and they don't even have cat and dog memberships: http://www.hawthornfc.com.au/Membership/2009Membership/tabid/10830/Default.aspx

Likes:
Carlton(my team)
Richmond: Like Richo he's a gun player and got better with age.Hope Cuzzy can help lift them from 9th position to play finals this year.
Geelong: All class team.

Dislikes:
Hawthorn:Buddy's full of himself,arrogant president and cocky supporters.
Essendon:Lloyd's dives,feral supporters
Port: Chocco chokers

Ironically unlike the Dogs, who still have as much success on that front as they do everything else in football...

Like

Hawthorn
Sydney
Brisbane

Dislike

Essendon
Carlton
North Melbourne

 

[NQ Hawk]

1. Hawthorn

2. Collingwood, grew up in Sydney and the only coverage was match of the day on 7 in black and white TV, actually thought collingwood and Hawthorn were the same team for a while.

3.Adelaide liked there style during there grand final wins and the fact they usually perform well with the list they have.

Dislike

1. Brisbane try living up north and most televised games involve Brisbane no matter what position there in or the importance of other games in the AFL. Not there doing but hate em anyway and cant afford pay TV

2.Essendon the 80's

3. Carlton shared a house with a carlton supporter for 5 years enough said

 

[KickLongTackleHard]

Likes:
Melbourne-brought up to know no other way
Hawthorn - Decent club, rather successful. Always had players I've liked.
Sydney- Family ties. They win their way, and not how people (inc the AFL) want them to.
Unlucky:Brisbane - just loved their 3 flags and even 4th GF.

Dislikes:
West Coast - smothered by them here. Too many people who have no clue and little interest in footy, claim they support them and are happy to sink the boot into anything eastern states. (I understand why it happens but still struggle to tolerate it)
Carlton - Tanking.
Collingwood - Traditional rivals, Eddie. The team everyone loves to hate.

 

[Primetime Pricey]

Likes apart from my team :

Richmond: Now have Cuz and Richo in the same side, will be fun to watch.
Fremantle: Always love the underdog
Brisbane: Pains me to say it even though we have been on the wrong end of the stick against this mob. Brown and Black are stars.

Dislikes:
Adelaide: Live in SA and cant stand their fans, douchebags.
Port: Likewise and took away my team in the SANFL. The Kane Cornes finger salute sky rocketed our rilvary onto another level.
Carlton\Essendon: cant split these 2. My hatred was stronger for Essendon but over recent years with Carlton improving and the fans coming out of the woodwork its on level pegging if not more then Essendon.

 

[Blues_Man]

Teams i don't mind are Kangaroos : good honest battlers who survive despite the odds.
Bulldogs..pretty much the same as roos only not as successful.
and the poor old Saints ..they haven't won anything for many a decade ..yet every year they have cling to the hope that this will be their year

Teams i despise are Collingwood ..fans are feral their whole club are pretenders who fall at the ultimate hurdle ..time and time again.

Richmond ..more feral fans but are fickle along with it ..will spit on their own when things aren't going well for them ...which has been the case for the last 30 years .

Hawthorn ..portrays themselves as the family club and yet are a festering cesspool behind the scenes ..their supporters are arrogant bandwagoners that go into hiding when their team is down .

Essendon ..pretentious club that is all show and no substance ..suporters are knobs as well .

Teams i have no feelings about are :
Freo
Lions
Port /crows

 

[daffo]

Like :
Hawthorn - Love watching them play

2. Crows - Modra, Jameson, Jarman, Roo Awesome club and supporters arent feral.

3. Sydney - They are just a no bullshit club and their supporters are great. A very fair team too i might add (apart from Baza).

HATE

[adelaide_40]

Like:

Dislike-

Essendon- Dont actually know why but I just do.

Freemantle- Just cannot stand watching them most of the time, find them boring (and yes I know who I support).

Tie Between Hawthorn and Bulldogs: Hawthorn ugly colours and the way Buddy carries on after every goal GET OVER YOURSELF

I dislike those exact same 3 clubs for those exact same reasons. Couldn't have said it much better, especially West Coast. I would probably also add Cheating and Arrogance to my reasons for disliking Carlton though.

Likes:
St Kilda - obviously
Melbourne - always liked them as they are kind of similar to the Saints with a lot of talented individual players but not a lot of team success.
Sydney - liked the club since Plugger went up there and loved the tough, gutsy football they have played during the Roos era. I also loved seeing them beat West Coast in the '05 Grand Final and in several other big matches recently.

 

[Anjahads]

LIKE
West Coast:My team
Freo:Another WA team,frustrating though.
Hawthorn:Loved there teams of the 80's.

Like Least
Port Adelaide:Sniper tactics(Carr has returned to help with the dirty stuff)
Carlton:The gollywog fullforward is a joke!
Collingwood:Easy draws and supporters.

 

[Chaz Pendlebury]

Like:

Collingwood

Sydney: Family thing

Fremantle: Have grown and flourished off the field despite a complete lack of success sharing a region where the most succesful club of the last 20 years was already established

Hate:

Carlton: history is full of cheating, tanking, match fixing, chequebooks and mercanaries - read about it

Essendon: souless siths. probably felt threatened by them at some point as well. almost a decade ago now but the resentment lingers

possibly hawthorn at the moment but this spot is always in flux depending on who's annpoying me at the time

 

[stuart27]

Priority Like: West Coast

----------------------------

Like 1: Melbourne - My father's team, usually see as many of their games as I do West Coast's so I've got a soft spot for them.

Like 2: Essendon - Most of my mates go for them and there's a good bit of history between the teams which makes the games enjoyable.

Like 3: North Melbourne - Hard not to, really, especially now that they've stopped putting their home games against the Eagles at Manuka or the GC.

----------------------------

Hate 1: Sydney - 2005.

Hate 2: Collingwood - Dental hygiene, mostly.

Hate 3: Carlton - Seemed like an easy answer.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Like
Collingwood.
Footscray: honest battlers, usually have a go.
Adelaide: respect their culture.

Hate
Brisbane: AFL-sponsored cheats. Supporters on here are precious, sour, sooky embarrassing whingers. All up, a pathetic excuse for a football club.
Carlton: cheats.
Essendon: supporters are shocking.
