Hey everyone, play nicely on here.
I'm a relative newcomer to AFL, a little under 20 years. Think I had only the final year of Rocket and then Roos, premierships and good times. So I haven't gone through the history to hate clubs like Carlton etc. And I never suffered the dark times as a Swans supporter.
It's weird. I've followed football (you might call it soccer) since I was 4 and I have the same tribal instincts and hatreds for other teams as I see here on RWO. But having come to AFL much older, I find it harder to hate another club. If anything I respect clubs like Hawthorn, Geelong etc.
Having said that I do have a very strong dislike thing for certain coaches and players: Dangerwood (both of them), Scotts (ditto), Eddie (obvs), I'm sure there are others.
