Complete and utter tossbag. Reminds me very much of John Elliot, in that he thinks it's his job to pass comment on every other club's issues.
Hawthorn are now firmly on my shitlist.
And for what it's worth, here's my Ladder Of Teams I Don't Like (top team most hated)
Essendon* - Sheedy (dirty Richmond prick), 1993, bandwagon Hird/Lloyd Generation supporters
RICHMOND - Sheedy, Balme, countless other thugs, and that cheating little prick Bartlett
COLLINGWOOD - Purely historical hatred, because their team has given me nothing but good memories. McGuire, Toothless moronic supporters.
HAWTHORN - Jeff Kennett, Pelchen, Alistair 'Gutless Sniper' Clarkson.
WEST COAST - Arrogant tossers. Hunter, Cousins. Worsfold needs to smile every so often. Would be above Hawthorn if not for Judd and the fact that Gardiner is now at...
ST KILDA - Were higher until they sacked Thomas. Butterss is still a flower though - but when he's gone, they'll disappear from my shitlist.
FREMANTLE - They're nothing. A 'franchise'... their song is shit and they have Jeff Farmer playing for them.
KANGAROOS - They gave us Pagan. They're like a three-legged dog that just won't die. They bore me.
GEELONG - Provincial. Make people play in the country at their shitty little ground. Hoops. Too many ginga's.
ADELAIDE - Painful supporters. Luckily, the advent of air travel made Adelaide largely irrelevant to the rest of Australia.
PORT ADELAIDE - They just lack class. They couldn't even make winning a premiership cup seem special... just tawdry.
MELBOURNE - Most of their supporters just don't deserve to see their team win a flag. Garry Lyon. But I like their die-hard supporters (all five thousand of them) and Daniher.
BRISBANE - Their new supporters don't get it. The old royboy supporters are good. They beat Essendon*, Collingwood, Collingwood in 3 straight grand finals. Respect.
SYDNEY - The old South Melbourne, my Dad's old team. Roos is great. So is Kirk. They play with passion and guts.
BULLDOGS - Woudn't begrudge them a Premiership or two while we're rebuilding. Love the way they play their footy - a REAL football club, unlike the Fremantles of this world.
Would have added the following as teams of their own:
AFL - Evans, Jackson, Demetrispew - refer to my 3500 posts
Hamill - refer to my 3500 posts.
But otherwise a great assessment JohnM.
