Adelaide, really don't like their fans, the sort who boo when the other side get a goal. Club I don't mind so much. Hopefully losing a GF has made their fans a bit more human.
Geelong, never used to hate them but the diving and the f...wit of a coach really put me off them.
I sort of dislike Gold Coast as I compare them to GWS who I don't mind so much as they seem to be trying to connect with Western Sydney. Gold Coast I haven't seen as much effort to cultivate their area, then again, who would want to deal with the Gold Coast? Also, that team should have been Tasmania.
Collingwood - visceral hatred in the 1970s. There was something about that time that we all hated Collingwood. Now I'm pretty much ambivalent, I can see the similarities and before the 1920s the clubs were not so antagonistic. 2 working class suburbs next door to each other back then. Yeah, don't want to see them ever win another flag, or at least not until we have a few more than they do, but the hatred of Collingwood is more an urban myth designed to pump up Collingwood egos these days. They are just not hated like they used to be. In any case, aren't they just Richmond's second team now? Must be a few old Collingwood people rolling in their graves now they are headquartered South of Victoria St.
I never minded Carlton much. Used to like players like Jezza back in the day. They are inoffensive these days but always hated the fact they try to buy their way to the top.
Essendon *smile* me off, they just do. Hope they keep making the bottom half of the 8 and getting knocked out first week.
Born in Melbourne, but lived in Perth from about 18 months to age 8, so hard to hate West Coast or even Freo. Still follow what Subiaco are doing (wow!) so Perth teams don't offend me.
Someone above talked of the attitude of North when Save our Skins was happening, either didn't know this or couldn't remember. Hate them now!
