Why do I hate the Blues?

[ScottH]

I was thinking the same thing as the OP ahead of the last Carlton game.

Reasons: attempted Swan genocide, 1945 Bloodbath, John Elliott, tanking, Robert Walls, the Blueblood culture of entitlement.

Then we lost that game and my inner Kirk told me that me that hate breeds bad karma.

However, deep contempt is OK.

They did give us the Blue birds, and many wins over the last 10 years!!

This weekend has got me thinking, why do I hate Carlton so much? ...

You're still breathing, aren't you??

For me it is or was that divine right to win premierships plus the majority of my family barracks for Carlton. My uncleNoel Atkins signed with the Blues a million years ago. So everyone in the family barracked for them. Thankfully he had the sense to reject their offer and took up the offer of being Headmaster of One Egg Lagoon School on King Island. Aalso a great aunt used to work on the front desk of a Carlton brothel. Take that however you want. I am the black sheep. I follow the Swans and I don't work in a brothel

What about all the players they pinched from us? David Rhys-Jones, Bernie Evans, Diesel, etc

They do not wear red and white, thats enough reason for me, and we play them this week, another good reason

Edelstein was owner of the Swans and Carlton supporter at the same time.

Kouta refused to come to us back in 96 I think.

They have a coach that looks like a rat.

They will win by 5 goals this Saturday.

When they win, we get attacked by the blues for the second time in the one day.

Can't use that. Look at all the players we pinched from Collingwood; Willo, Shaw, Schauble.....

Correct me if I'm mistaken but weren't the Pies happy to trade those three?

However you could say we pinched players in the 90's with big money offers so we can't throw stones I guess.

I must say I'm shocked by this outburst from Sydney, although when you spell it out I can see why. We did raid your team in the 90's however I think you'll find neither Williams or Rhys liked living in Sydney, Evans doesn't count. You did get Mitton-Connell from the Diesel deal who went all right for you guys but still not a champ.

What do you mean Evans doesn't count?

What about Peter Bedford, didn't you pinch hom as well?
