Having the right club president can go a long way well. I hate Carlton a lot less under the current administration than under a certain former president. And the president of a certain other club just makes me want to declare war on the world.

    Why do we have to have a rivalry, anyway? Seems like a pretty pointless thing to me.
    True we could all go along and cheer for "SYDNEY" no one loses we all leave as winners...now back on planet earth...

    Cheers

      I agree with this statement. Always winners.

      The real rivalries:

      Cruise v. Cruise M
      Cruise v. Cruise N
      Cruise v. Cruise K

      How vain can you be to go out with someone that has a name like your own betrween wives - P. Cruize.

      Now that beats the Kramers !!!
      Nothing like a good light bulb moment.

          Around the early 1990's, when we were being whipped like dogs, and Swans' fans were very few on the ground, I witnessed drunken Magpie supporters surround a bunch of older Swans supporters and give them hell - foul mouthed drunken hell. I was so disgusted I reported it to the police, who 'monitored' crowd behaviour for the rest of the afternoon. It was a telling moment. Beating Collingwood ever since always makes me think back to the Magpie morons and how sweet the feeling of success. There is nothing GWS can do to replicate that feeling. Across town rivalry will never happen while Collingwood exists.

            Confession time. With the ladder as it currently is, I've started to fantasise about Sydney crushing Collingwood in the grand final. Sydney narrowly loses to them in the regular season. Coming into the GF, Collingwood are very cocky, Eddie is making comments about the greatest side ever etc. In the game, Swans jump out to an early lead and then keep extending it. They win by 63 pts. Collingwood fans are leaving at three-quarter time.

            I haven't jinxed us, have I?

                I thought he was joking until I read the bit about wild animals. What a great idea!

                        I think it's better if we beat Collingwood at ANZ, we all know the Pies are notorious wobblers in GF's, FFS it took them 2 goes to beat St KIlda, and the Pies have lost a lot more GF's than they've won, even in the olden day's when the club with the most money won

                          That would be wonderful!
                          The Colliwobbles have to be the second biggest chokers in the AFL. They only won the premiership in 2010 cause they played the biggest chokers! I reckon GWS could beat them in a grannie!

                              It would certainly add a level of strategy. You could go defensive for example - might have really helped Sydney in the Essendon game to clog up Essendon's forward line with an elephant or two.
