Who are our most bitter rivals (or who do we hate the most)?

[BigD]

Just thought I'd put this question out there to see what everyone thinks and to give us something to do before the season kicks off( Yes, i'm bored - bring on the footy!)
As far as I'm concerned it would have to be Collingwood with the Weagles a close second.

[Captain]

West Coast easily for me.

Hate the fans, hate the players

[hammo]

I would have had St Kilda as one of the options given the historic rivalry we have with them going back to the South days.

[Chilcott]

Bulldogs. Don't know why, but I just like to beat them more than any other team.

[Primmy]

For sheer teeth clenching fist pumping screamfest, Collingwood.

For history which goes back to Lib and the Italian Mafia, Bulldogs without a doubt. When they left it kind of took the sting out of it, but not entirely.

[Plugger46]

I reckon it depends on which sides are going well at the time. St.Kilda and Geelong (especially at Geelong) are the teams I want to beat the most at the moment.

St.Kilda or West Coast are probably the best answers to the question, given the history against both sides.

[RogueSwan]

Most hated - Pies

greatest rivals - Weagles. Before that, probably Roos and the Bummers before them.

[Doctor]

Most hated - Pies

greatest rivals - Weagles.

Agreed.

[Big Al]

Collingwood then daylight.

[Lucky Knickers]

Bitter rivals....Kangaroos
Unbitter rivals....West Coast

[ROK Lobster]

West Sydney

[snajik]

Carlton

Never forget the '45 Grand Final.

How they pinched Greg Williams and David Rhys-Jones.

How we lost every game at Princes Park for 25+ years.


Special mention to Collingwood though.

Recent rivals - West Coast, but there is an element of respect from both camps I'd suggest. There is no respect at all for carlton and collingwood.

Collingwood.
1) They too often have the wood on us.
2) Eddie
3) Their fans
4) They have stollen too many players off us (Rocca, Teasdale, Greg Smith, Shane Morwood. David Young. Clinton King, Paul Hawke, Mark Orchard, Bill Picken (similar to Orchard - gave him then took him back - opposite of Hawke, took him then gave him back!), Richard Osborne (in a round about way via the Dogs) Paul Licuria, Barry Mitchell, Gerard Healy (sort of, but he never played after being drafted), Paul Morwood, Brereton. The list goes on!
5) Eddie (he rates 2 mentions).

[Primmy]

North belongs to another era - and I love beating them (get me! I love beating them, like I had any say in the matter) - but they have become so bland it just doesn't matter any more.

Agree except that we have done pretty well out of some recent Collingwood recruits. (Schauble,Williams,Davis(the 05 version),Shaw).
Also their fans rate a second mention as well.
