I am almost 22, so for me Carlton are a nothing club, the first game of footy I can remember watching was the 1999 GF between North and Carlton and the next game is round 19 2001 when we got smashed to them, which also happened to be the first time I went to the footy. Still remember crying the whole car ride back home after that game haha. Apart form those two games all I can remember is Carlton being crap. History really doesn't mean much because I have never seen a winning Carlton side or a threatening side. To me all the Carlton teams I watched since 2001 have been garbage, so they hold no relevance to me.

I know there is bitter blood between the two clubs and for that I don't like them in fact I hate them because they are cheaters but then again to me they are a side that is as successful as StKilda, Dees, Fremanlte and Bulldogs. Even then I can remember all those sides playing in more finals in the last decade or so except the Dees. Therefore I can't really hate them as much as I hate Essendon.

Essendon to me is the scum on the earth along with international sporting teams like Barcelona and Byern Munich. I think god decided that every league needed a club full of imbecilic players, officials and supporters so he put those three teams in.

Essendon are your ultimate bandwagon team, if you don't follow the game you will say you go for Essendon or when they are winning they are all loud and happy giving it to everyone but when they losing 80% of their fans don't want to be known as Essendon fans. I can't wait for the suspensions to be handed out.
You could really say that Essendon have been almost as irrelevant since 2000, they have made only a few finals and have been obliterated in most of them, like the Adelaide game they lost by 90+ points.

Nobrainer, the blues. Essendon are horrible enough in recent times to gain a decent amount of our hatred but nothing and no club comes close to the animosity the blues deserve. To the poster who suggested they be shifted to Tasmania, no definitely not. Some uninhabited island, not here thanks.

Richmond - lets be frank here - have been a great disappointment. For a time they had reached the lofty status of being worthy enemies but since then have made an artform out of being irrelevant on the field. Pretty much what Carlton has been doing lately. The difference is whilst I might on the odd occassion of weakness feel sorry for Richmond, I celebrate every second of Carlton's abject uselessness.
 
Essendon people's arrogance throughout this whole drugs saga thing has been fairly hard to stomach, and I am talking about actual Essendon people like Tim Watson, James Hird etc... but also Essendon supporters I know.

That said, Carlton are the evil which corrupt all else. They are so devious they turned the rest of the competition against us to make us look like the bad guys!? And all the while they laugh secretly at the rest of the comp as they salary cap cheat, poach players and kill small puppies just for fun!

I am not disappointed in Richmond at all! I really like what they bring to the table year after year. In fact over the last 30 years I've actually grown quite fond of them. Richmond is like my cat.. don't generally pay it much attention, doesn't do much, but can really make me laugh and provide good entertainment at times. They're both nice to have around ... kind of comforting...
 
3 Points I would make

1. I dont like any other teams so its just degrees of dislike and hate

2 2 teams stand so far above the rest in the hatred stakes it makes any comparison with any oth the other 15 irrelevent. Carlton and Essendon

3 I hate Carlton so much more than Essendon that I cant begin to describe the difference and I hate Essendon with a passion

Carlton , I was at 70, 79 and 81. I can never wish any relenting to the suffering their supporters have had since 95. I am so happy they have turned into such inconsequential crap. They are a long way off becoming good again. I think they are following the Richmond and Melbourne path. Eternal suffering with repeated false dawns. Even that position is too good for them.

Is your cat neutered too?
 
The Essendon rivalry is very manufactured if you ask me.

That said, I have a lot of Essendon mates and they're hard to deal with when they're up and about. Then when they disappeared in 2010-11-12 none of them were seen or heard anywhere.

Regardless, the answer is definitely Carlton.

Up until the suppliment debacle I didn't mind Essendon. I have fond memories of them in 1990 and the ANZAC clash developed a respectful view. That has all changed now although they are still a distant second to Carlton.
 
Carlton, it has always just been a known fact.
Apparently when I was about 3 my idiot uncle tried to put a Bluesers jumper on me and I cried - been scarred ever since.
Now that I'm older and applying a bit of logic, the fact we can't beat them in a GF is a bit annoying, Essendon at least had the decency to be beaten by us:)
Carlton are arrogant flogs, (club and supporters) Essendon supporters give ferals a bad name and Hird is the arrogant one there.
 
A silly question really, Carlton by a very long way. I don't actually mind the Bombers that much, they are not even number 2 on the hate list. Number 2 is Carlton again.
Haha. Good post. They probaly fill the top 10 to be honest
 
Normally Carlton as they are a cheating bunch of no good scum. Now that the Bombers have proven their own cheating worth, its a tougher contest.
 
If you asked Carlton supporters this question the consensus would be Essendon.

We are a club with a great ethos, a great history of playing successful and fair footy. Not much you can hang on us except we are the biggest, hence we get the hate from most random almost-non-footy followers.

The other two clubs on the other hand have been fighting to see which of them can out-cheat the other and both carry a dysfunctional, nasty, arrogant culture. Only fair they compete and hate one another.
