I hate the Pies more than any other club, but at the same time I have respect for them.
I see alot of ourselves in Coll. I think Coll and Rich supporters are very similar. I think we are both the most loud, loyal and passionate supporters in the comp. We are basically working class type people and love our clubs and hate loseing and love winning. Plus the Pies have had bad times and tasted pain, and then enjoy the good times when they come along.
I look at Essendon supporters for example and I see quite, band wagon supporters that have had it too good for too long and act like they rule the world when on top like bad times will never come their way, and then jump off and sook as soon as they fall down the ladder this year, despite all the good years their team has given them.
I think ususally in sport you have some respect for your biggest rival. I look at Coll in that way. I hope they fail more than any other club in the comp, but still respect them.
And I reckon in 3 or 4 years when we are flying, there will be the same type of hype in the AFL as Coll are currently getting. I think only Rich and Coll can create the biggest excitment in the AFL when winning.
