Or dislike, if hate is too strong a word.
Growing up in the 90s I'd say Carlton and Essendon about equally. They were up and about, and I remember the start of the whole Kevin Sheedy scarf waving thing after they beat us. Seemed to generally have our measure too.
Actually had Freo as my second team until I just met many Freo fans who's attitude put me off. But I understand where they're come from, I admit many Eagles fans are arrogant nuffs.
I didn't dislike Collingwood as much in the 90s as they didn't do much. I vaguely remember that final in 94 I think. Eddie everywhere probably played some role in my increasing dislike of them (these days Im warming to Ed a bit more, his bias is kind of funny...although he invariably puts his footh in his big mouth), and I only really realised the whole 'everyone hates Collingwood' thing later not living in the Melbourne fishbowl.
After 2015 it was Hawthorn briefly. After 2016 it was probably Geelong, then in 2019 Richmond. After that Collingwood again...but since 2023 especially its been Collingwood, sick of them winning close games and this season in particular the umpires are getting more involved. I at least sort of respected them in 2022 and 2023 but it's become blatant in 2024.
