Does anyone here think that the rivalry between Gold Coast Suns and Brisbane Lions will reach the levels of the crows/power and Eagles/dockers games?

Some may argue that the two northern clubs coming from an area where AFL is not as strong will need to work together a lot more then fight each other?

My theory is that the clubs will work together very close behind closed doors however the AFL and clubs will do their best to promote a 'plastic' rivalry amongst fans.

What do you think?

I think it'll take time.. For me living in Brisbane i actually really love the Gold Coast as a weekend/holiday destination so it'll be hard in that sense.

Yes, it'll be on right from the start. Taking Brisbane's B&F winner plus Brennan will add heaps to it as well. Hope it's every bit as intense as the SA and WA rivalries.

Give it time. Rivalries need to be developed before they actually mean anything to the fans.
