Collingwood still on top
This issue has historically divided the Nicksters and probably will continue to do so. Collingwood has again been voted the most hated team by other AFL club supporters. I have always loved this aspect, especially when we win the flag or win big games against traditional rivals. However when we are not in such a dominant position, I think only a few of us can give back as much as we get from the ferals. Long may this tradition remain intact!
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm 
I remember a few years ago people started to give us some sympathy for our poor performance.
The sympathy upset me more than our form.
Can't have a competition that is all technical and no emotion.
It is the emotion you want from a tribal sport like aussie rules.
To be hated is to be blessed.
May we have another hundred years of this!!!!!

I might be in the minority, but I'm not fussed either way if we're the most hated club or not.
I just find sometimes the "us against them" mentality has worn us down in the past. The club sometimes used to lean into it too much for my liking, without backing it up with any substance in the form of premiership success.
I find the last two years has been more refreshing. No one obviously wanted us to succeed outside the club, but there's a begrudging respect of the manner of our performances and what we've produced under Fly.

100% jezza.
i think what we have been through oppo fans are kind of have a begrugeing respect towards us.
but these days i dot care what others think of us any more why waste thought space.
as long as we play good footy and be good supporters and be a good club this all that matters.
its out of our or my control what others think about us.

My daughters boyfriend asked me what my second favourite team was. It was like he thought I would have a second team. Imbecile!masoncox wrote:Very funnySkids wrote:"second favourite team"... what are we, 9 year olds?
Ed Allen kicked our last goal of the year at the 58minute mark of the last quarter
