Your three favourite opposition teams

[Carson Dial]

Brisbane

Melbourne

Richmond

Hate everyone else

And they hate you right back

 

[Wallaby]

1. Collingwood. Great old club - great history - cool supporters - good for the game.

The rest - it changes depending on how well, or badly they are going.

 

[footyfan000001]

And they hate you right back

I am glad

 

[WestCoastLeagle]

I did choose Gold Coast, but that's more a Queenslander thing, and hoping they can sort their *#@! out both on and off the field. I would genuinely love a local rivalry, as both clubs hopefully climb the ladder.

That's how I feel I about Freo. The better both teams do the more exciting and meaningful the local rivalry is. Plus I genuinely would like to see my long suffering Freo friends taste the ultimate success. Just not too much of it

 

[1972championsofaust]

St Kilda - was moms team.
South Melbourne - Bedford Fan.
Brisbane Lions - like their Song.

 

[HairyO]

Dogs, West Coast, Brisbane.

 

[Isaac Cumming No 1]

I have a real soft spot for the Capital Giants.

 

[t_94]

I have a soft spot for North Melbourne and the Dees. Can't stand Essendon, Carlton, West Coast or Geelong. Neutral on the rest.

 

[smasha]

Pies ,mum’s side of the family massive Collingwood support and my gf and her family.

Lions,love the colours and that 3 peat.

St Kilda,loyal fans,would enjoy their fans seeing a premiership.

 

[Billy Not Really]

I enjoy the rabid support Collingwood has, its unique and rare, only a club like Richmond comes close with how loyal its supporters are. Plus I like the history and aesthetics.

I sympathise with Saints fans, lotta old loyal fans who go to every game more than any I've seen and just patiently stick by their team. I can't hate 'em.

And for some reason I just like West Coast. Maybe because Simmo coaches them.

 

[Whiskers]

Richmond And Melbourne, my club has walloped them for years and years, could always be confident of a victory.
But our last 2 finals losses..... wtf is this upside down world?
Oh well I’ve always got Port Adelaide.

Lol 11 pages of "likeness" for the "opposition"

Wow, can't even believe this is threadworthy.

It's your team and no one else! F......hell grow some balls people.

No wonder we're hated so much, consistently contending and don't a give a flying about the opposition.

Bring the hate oppo supporters, we thrive on that shit!

 

[Carringbush2010]

pies and I did too when I was younger

Then you're not a true Port supporter , most port fans will tell you that.

Team bro! Port or Pies?

A lot of people back in the pre AFL days had a team in usually in their local league and one in the VFL, not uncommon at all. Its was like having your team in the a-league and a team in the Premier league. My dad was South Freo and Carlton before West Coast came in, is now a one eyed Eagles fans but understandably will always have a soft spot for Carlton.

Very true

Bit less so for Port though than for ither non Vic clubs I think.

All clubs cultures are changing a bit in the professional era and tending to a kind if sameness I think. Traditionally being a Port supporter was a blood thing though. If you were a part of the tribe it was a lifetime thing, if you weren't you really weren't wanted.Becoming a Port suooirter would have been a pretty rare thing.

However you view the way the club has acted, they're the only non-Vic club to make their way into the AFL, and that was a very unlikely event.

 

[captain cotch 9]

I liked Essendon until 2013. Cant stand them now.
Im interested in the GC and how they rebuild and im keen to follow the Miles, C.Ellis from the Tigers up there.
They drafted well this year with Rankin, Rooey x2 and the King brother.
They will not be a threat for the next 3-4 years while the Tigers challenge haha..

Then he was never a bulldog or blue, if you ditch a team you've never been a true supporter.

Why? What happened?

As sickening as it is to agree with a Collingwood supporter...This.

2nd favorite teams (etc) are for soft ***** and fence sitters who can't make up their mind.

I'll grant that there are some clubs I hate less (the peak being indifference), but 'favorite opposition teams'...Never.

Think most people in here like some oppo teams because their friends/partners/families support them, don’t see an issue with that. My stepdad is a long suffering saints fan and my brother follows the dogs so when it hasn’t been against Melbourne I’ve enjoyed watching them do well.

I can separate the people from the club.

Just because a friend/partner/etc supports <club> doesn't mean I need to develop a soft spot for them. It just means that when our clubs play there will be a bit of banter (how much would vary from person to person).

Fair enough, I used to hate some clubs but aside from the Hawks I'm pretty meh at worst about other teams.

Respecting an opposition on their game style is different from wanting the opposition to do well. When one does that you could question their loyalty.
