    NO is the answer. I hate all other AFL teams.

      Hate is a strong word. Ok then Bulldog fanatic. Which evil camp do you know the most about and why?

          ! Fair enough. And who do you think you know the most about, in terms of their list?

            Not a lot really, because I don't care.

              Negative Nellie. Still forlorn by the Richmond loss?
              I'm actually interested in Port because if they can resurrect their fortunes, no reason why we can't. Development arcs are not dissimilar.

                Living in QLD I get all the Gold Coast games, don't mind watching them have a win over more fancied opponents
                If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                  None. If there was no Bulldogs I don't think I'd follow the sport.

                    It's funny how many people seem to be addicted to their team but don't really seem to like football anymore.

                    I don't have a second team per se but as far as a team I've enjoyed watching, Geelong's style the last 6-7 years has been the most enjoyable
                    Other than that it's often more individual players. Could watch Ablett all day long.

                      Not a Gold Coast fan per se, but i have genuinely enjoyed watching Karmichael Hunt grow as a footballer. His drive to succeed in his adopted game has really impressed me, when he kicked his first on the run against the Cats, then rolled the Tigers after the siren last year, I was an even bigger fan.

                      Then of course there's G.Ablett. The best footballer I have seen in my lifetime.

                        My second team is whoever is playing Collingwood in any given week.

                              Sometimes I really wonder about the hatred of Collingwood. Find Richmond and Essendon fans far more annoying.

                                In order of hatred.


                                1. North. The team most Footscrayites hate due to the proximity of the suburbs and the 130 year plus ongoing competition between the two teams in the VFA, VFL and now AFL.

                                2. Essendon. Again the neighbouring suburb thing and the 1924 match.

                                3. Richmond. Anyone who was a kid in the late '60s and early '70s can tell you how arrogant and obnoxious that football club was back then. Imagine Richmond supporters with a team to follow that had all the best players, coaches, money and almost unlimited success. It really was as frightening as it sounds. I will hate hem until the day I die.


                                I admired North for a while in the Pagan years because I knew Denis Pagan from when he coached Yarraville in the VFA in the early '80s. I didn't mind Sheedy so my hatred of Essendon warned for a while, although I still really enjoy taunting their fans at games. I wish only terrible things for the Richmond Football Club though.
                                They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
