I just couldn't hate North with the same degree of intensity once Carey and David King left, and then Shannon Grant left and they just couldn't seem to get a rise from me any more. I'll have to pay more attention to them next year. Surely they must have someone on their list that is capable of resurrecting my ire.
Who are our most bitter rivals (or who do we hate the most)?

Agree with you except 4 v's a dozen or so, and many of their Swans recruits were opportunistic... picking off our players in their prime when we were in trouble. And remember Kent Bucher? No? Becuase they traded us rubbish at times too! He didn't play a game. Scotty Russell? Hefty price tag for 1 season. Michael Lockman... another one we got one season out of. And the players you mention were primarily past their prime at Collingwood (they may have improved with Sydney, but at Collingwood they were considered stale... some would even argue this of Davo as he wanted out).Comment

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!

Difficult question, particularly given the sheer number of close results against West Coast over 3-4 years and the two epic GF.
Over time, for me however it's Collingwood, the team everyone wants to beat just for their sheer arrogance from Ed down.Comment

Collingwood may be hated but they are not "bitter rivals" of the Swans. For a rivalry to exist supporters of the other club would have to feel the same way."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

I stand corrected, but my point was we didn't actively recruit him from the Maggies, he was an unwanted discard... unlike the majority of ours who we still wanted (Clinton King and Gavin Rose being notable exceptions)Comment

Voted Carlton...based on me being the black sheep of my family and not barracking for Carlton. I love it when we win against them.

Try as I can, I cannot totally hate the wiggles. Despair yes, thrilled when hunter left yes, but overall kill kill kill, no. Again, I come back to Collingwood, and that is why I am shattered and shocked Jolls actually set foot in the door.

As far as traditional rivals go, for me it is Carlton deep down.
More recently, West Coast is the easy choiceThe difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.Comment
