I was brought up in a long term Tiger supporting household , dating back to Jack Dyer days. It was pre requisite to love Richmond and hate Collingwood , the rest could please themselves. The Carlton hatred grew from the fact that we played each other so much in finals and big games. Big Nick lying to get Neville Crowe suspended in 1967 was up there with the Kennedy assassination in my family . But our Collingwood hatred is in the blood.
I don't read the Big Footy site much. Too much angst and parochial "my club is better than your club "stuff for me . But i read it for a while last night and was fascinated by the fact that there are enormous threads on both the Richmond and Carlton sections discussing round 1 and some major baiting of each group of supporters. I was thinking that maybe Carlton has replaced Collingwood at the top of our hatred scale .
I was wondering of people here believed. Would you take a win over Carlton ahead of Collingwood and why is there so many supporters of both clubs placing so much on Round 1 ?
