    Some of my favorite wins ever have been against Carlton. At Princes Park in 2000 and 1985 and at Western Oval in 1983, 1978 and the game where we held them to one goal (1991?).
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

        I don't think we have one.

                            We don't have a mutual rivalry with anyone. Maybe North at a stretch.

                            Essendon geographically.
                            WCE after the Sumich choke hold brawl. Gardiner etc. But those feelings have faded.

                                    I reckon there is still a bit of angst with the Weagles from the Danny Southern days. There is also an element of the haves and have nots with them.

                                        For some reason I feel West Coast! Seeing we both represent the west.

                                        Other then that Essendon and North definitely !

                                            In the modern era I would almost say its Geelong. They have beaten us in finals in 1976, 1992, 1994, 2008, 2009. We have also played alot of close matches against them, so I guess its some sort of rivalry.

                                                Adelaide as they beat us in the 1997 and 1998 prelim finals.

                                                    I'm not sure they'd see it that way however. We're not an arch nemesis, more so a finals easy beat.

                                                    I'd say Hawthorn is their arch nemesis, they beat them on the big stage.

                                                        I'd say probably North and St. Kilda.

                                                        And that's clutching at straws a bit.

                                                        Does anybody take pride in beating us over other certain clubs? I doubt it.

                                                            This. For me there is nothing more satisfying then beating the crows.
