They have tended to come and go.
Early on it was Essendon. They were the first to identify us as a coming threat to dominance, and reacted accordingly, with dirty tactics and games like tying up the windsock, cold showers, no access to ground to train on etc.
Then it was probably Geelong, then Sydney,
then it was Hawks as the best team.
Collingwood has always been a great finals rival, right from the start.
The one constant has been Freo. Though it's been more of a 'pimple on the end of your dick' kind of rivalry (once you've checked it's not a blister and is only a pimple it can be safely ignored) due to their constant failures and only caring about the derby.
Freo should be a better rivalry than it is. It's a bit hard to treat something so useless seriously.
