Thread: Teams RWOers Hate the Most thread

    Teams RWOers Hate the Most thread

    as I'm a new follower of the game I do not have a history of disliking a team, of course until now. I now have a dislike for Adelaide. Not sure if this is a positive thing but it felt good when they lost the other night. The dislike comes for how the club/players/fans treated Tippett. The Club had the final say on accepting the terms.

    And the same club that taunted the our players at the airport before the Final last year.
    That worked out well for them!!

    Everyone develops clubs they hate for different and personal reasons.
    Usually it's Collingwood.

    I've only recently been able to get past Gary Lyon's comments after the Swans beat Melbourne maybe 20 years ago after we were winless for 20 rounds or so and he said "we played down to their level" or something like that when we clearly outclassed them on the day lol
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    Not sure how long you've been following the game but you've taken it to another level now by developing a dislike for the Crows. Well done. Good reasons for not liking them too! They really haven't come out of this whole saga very well and they looked like they missed KT the other night too...

    In the interest of fairness, these two statements are untrue. Tippett wasn't a free agent, so Adelaide didn't have the option to meet the terms offered by Sydney - Tippett walked out on the offer from the Crows. Also, Adelaide FC had nothing to do with the choir at the airport - it was a radio prank, hence the choir needing a lyric sheet.

    Collingwood because they have stolen players from us for years (Rocca, Licuria, Greg Smith, Barry Mitchell, Jolly, Teasdale etc) - yes I am aware we've picked up some of their "discards"

    Carlton - as above (Rhys-Jones, Evans, Williams); PLUS they tried to have us dumped from the competition in the 90s to play ALL their away games in Sydney (thanks Collingwood for saving us that time); & their thuggery in the '45 Bloodbath grand final

    Adelaide because they make living in Adelaide insufferable for 9 months of the year. Apart from the Magpies, has there ever been a more ignorant, biased, loud mouthed group of fair weather supporters (tho to the Magpies credit, they are ignorant, biased and loud mouthed in ANY weather!) Ok, it's mostly the SA supporters with their inferiority streak.

    GW$ - because they are GW$

    I think it might be fun to have a seperate teams we hate and why thread! Or would the majority prefer to pad out this Tippett thread?

    Feel free to start one RnR... It could make interesting reading.

    That sounds to me like a BF thread, I would like to think we (RWOer's) are better than that.

    Don't judge a thread by it's title RogueSwan, if GoSwannies comments prove typical it may well prove a worthwhile and somewhat reflective topic. In any case I've asked a competent person to extract the relevent posts from this thread and place it in a new thread, so we'll see.

    We are so that's why when I point out in the new thread that Collingwood and St Kilda supporters are arrogant tools I'll be as respectful as possible.
