Why does everybody hate collingwood

We'd just won four flags in five seasons, so you took John Cahill our best ever coach plus a slew of our favourite sons like Kutchie, Abba and Choco.

But nah, it's cool, we really wanted a seven-year flag drought At least we gave him a premiership in black-and-white. Making us wear our clash guernsey - at home - in Yep, you did, and we'll never forget. For the record, we won the game here at Footy Park.

We're not the team everyone hates the most anymore. Because of you guys, only one team really hates us. Proudly Sponsored By. Club Logo. Home Latest. Fan Zone.

Before multiculturalism, religious rivalries played a part in Australian sport, mainly pitting Protestants against Catholics. He believed the "residue" of that religious rivalry has contributed to the general dislike for the Pies today.

So what about in Western Australia, considering West Coast only entered the competition in and then Fremantle in ? Professor Stratton said there were two reasons, one being the high number of Victorians who have moved to WA during the mining boom, bringing along those traditional AFL rivalries with them. Another explanation was the Anti-Collingwood "tradition" that gradually immersed itself in local football circles post He added there were some Eagles fans who still "feel deserted" by the departure of dual premiership-winning coach Mick Malthouse to the Magpies.

You're now doing the whole celebrity thing. What kind of team are you? But Professor Stratton says the sheer number of Collingwood fans has been the last straw for some. One thing's for certain, proud and passionate as they are, Collingwood fans know it will be a case of "us against everyone else". And they will cop it on a national scale should their star-studded team somehow find a way to falter again on the grandest of stages.

Everybody hates Collingwood Collingwood fans live in the knowledge most other AFL barrackers dislike them, which surely solidifies their fervent support. Yet they are the villains of the AFL. The good versus evil narrative that lies beneath the surface of every Pies match may well be a subconscious reason why so many fans turn out to watch them. He expertly exploits the media, dangling controversial quotes which he knows will hit the back pages and airwaves. So when he gets riled up about an issue he makes sure to turn the debate into a bloody crime scene with his slicing commentary.

In doing so he sets the agenda, earns the club the media attention it desires and inflames opposition supporters across the country. When his team takes to the field that weekend, there is a fresh backdrop of drama which makes their match all the more engrossing. Over their 15 games at the MCG last season, an average of 64, people turned out to watch Collingwood play.
