Interesting article discussing bogey teams for each club.
A few that the article forgot to mention include Essendon vs Melbourne, Richmond vs Gold Coast, Melbourne vs Geelong, Melbourne vs Hawthorn, Brisbane vs Hawthorn, Carlton vs Sydney, Richmond vs North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs vs Essendon.
These were a few that stood out IMO:
- Sydney being a bogey team for Adelaide shows the wheel has turned, given Adelaide dominated Sydney for a long time prior to 2012.
- Richmond being a bogey team for St Kilda since 2011 after the Saints had a 13 game winning streak over the Tigers which spanned over nearly a decade prior to 2011.
- Collingwood and Fremantle being listed as bogey sides for Geelong despite the Cats having winning records over both sides over the last few years, which highlights how dominant the Cats have been.
- North Melbourne being listed as a bogey side for the Hawks despite having a losing record against them in recent years. This highlights how dominant the Hawks have been, and Hawthorn's dominance further illustrates how Geelong's 11 wins in a row was such a remarkable achievement.
- Gold Coast being listed as Collingwood's bogey side based on two wins by 7 and 5 points respectively on the Suns home turf. Collingwood's only true bogey side is Hawthorn.
