5.North Melbourne.Thanks for starting this thread and clearing that up. Many of us were wondering who our main rivals were. One tool I know thought Collingwood might be a rival. I was worried he was right until I read your thread.
What kind of a list is this? You got 1/3 of the AFL on this list. Forget about the 6 interstate clubs. That leaves 5 out of 9 Victorian clubs on your list. Did you make this list based on polling data or your favourite colours?
THIS JUST IN....a list of Victorian teams that are not our main rivals:
1.Collingwood (black and white look good at a formal occasion, but not on a football ground)
2.Western Bulldogs (logo on guernsey is difficult to identify as a bulldog, especially when players are running and jumping or lying on the ground)
3.St. Kilda (Can't translate that latin phrase printed on the patch on front of guernsey)
4.Melbourne (have an unnatural fear of satanic imagery in logos)

I wonder how Grendel feels about all this extra work he has to do now.

Don't we play Essendon (and get beat) every year? Are you frenzied because we're playing Bombers twice in 2005? or because we're playing Bombers twice @ MCG? or because we're playing Bombers twice @ MCG on Sunday afternoons? If we don't break the losing trend against Essendon this season then this is not something to be so giddy about!
