There was a " I hate Carlton..." thread a while ago, and that's all well and good, and we all hate Collingwood, yadda yadda....well I gotta tell you people, I am coming all the way from Tokyo with My Woman on our belated honeymoon to watch this match, and if we don't win it,...I think I'll just commit HARI BLOODY KIRI!!!! I hate Essendon. I hate that one of our greatest sons is now far more associated with them than us. I hate that they they became stronger as we became a shambles in the '80s. I hate the way they won a flag with a bunch of teenagers. I hate the way the recriuted champion after champoion while we recruited....well you know what we recruited. I hate their players. I hate James Hird. Don't care if he's a good player or not, I hate him. I hate the way we could never rise to the occasion and would routinely cop floggings from them. I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate their supporters. I mean I have never met ANYONE in BLACK AND RED I LIKED. EVER! Forget the Pies. These scumbags are the WORST! And now with the news that Bloody Sheedy put his arm around Wallace and ....well, just read that other ,ok. Win this game Richmond. And win it well. And rub it. Long and hard. Go Tiges.

Wrong. If you were being completely honest you'd know that Richmond easily has the most fair weather supporters.
And it pisses me off![]()

Adelaide was added to the list because they were Adelaide. But really, when it comes down to it, Essendon supporters as a group are lower than snakes' arseholes. Traditional hatreds run the deepest. Just ask the Serbs and Croats.

eight ace said:Nothing's up with them, they just have a traditional hatred for each other. Like I have a traditional hatred for essenscum. It will be fun to watch the tiges stomp on the dockers over here.

Rubbish Y&B. ALL clubs have a bandwagon. coll ess carl have huge ones. Ours is big too, but after 23 years of sh!te, what would coll ess carl crowds and membership look like?
I used to go to Windy Hill with my Dad ("you either come with me, or you don't go to the footy") through the 70s and they were lucky to get 10,000 when they were a rabble.
Last night 58 thou at the G...conservatively 50:50 supporters of each club there for an ess home match ie Richmond members have to pay...
