Dont even know where this North rivalry stems from. Always seemed manufactured.

Comes from Bombers BigFooty posting losing the plot and being obsessed with North

It stems from historical off-field events mainly and that is why its one sided. Essendon basically did the dirty on us and we have hated them ever since. ATM there is next to no rivalry because we keep losing to them.

Just every other day then, it seems. Truly the only time I remember Essendon exists is when I get reminded by Essendon supporters every week how much they totally don't care about us lol

There was a rivalry there - a strong one - but it has become somewhat anaemic due to 2 decades of the AFL minimising scheduling between the two clubs in order to give return legs between the biggest Melbourne clubs and ensure they play the minimum amount of games against lower drawing non-vic clubs.

one sided rivalry? probably. Who gives a s**t?
