Carlton and Hawthorn by a mile in front of Collingwood. Our rivalry with Collingwood is more a formality rather than hatred. Carlton and Hawthorn however...

Who hates Collingwood these days, apart from their own supporters?

I am a little confused with this narrative that Richmond and Port 'hate' eaxh other? What is their to hate?
Carlton - Stopped us in 72 and 82. Two years we were favourites to win. Eliminated us in 13' from 9th. But on the flip side we've got a 21-6 record against them, spank em round one every year and have beaten them in 4 grand finals.
Collingwood - 27,28,29 premierships all won against Richmond. 18' Prelim Final. Landing Hafey when we snatched Minogue, Lou Richards and Jack Dyer going off. Flip side? The spanking in 1980, not beating us in finals in more than 70 years and us contributing nicely to the wobbly era by belting them in the 60s-80s.
Essendon - Windy Hill Brawl, that sweet 95' Semi Final victory that was our only highlight in 30 years.
The Sheedy/Hardwick trading places story. Dreamtime at the G.
Hell even Adelaide, there's some history now since we nearly broke them.
With Port its ummm
- Troy Chaplin aeroplane celebration.
- The abomination of an Elimination Final in 2014.
- Their small cameo in the midst of our dynasty.
Maybe our rookie listing of Matt Thomas or their poaching of Jay Schultz makes this rivalry 'heated'.
Give me a spell lol. Maybe they had a fantastic rivalry with Glenelg and we now the tiger team

I get the feeling of "hate" is more between the players, not the supporters.
Most Port supporters loved Richmond in 2017. Whilst all people can ajudge that many of their supporters have become intolerable ****wits on bigfooty since, this is not held in the wider community, especially in Adelaide where Richmond supporters aren't that prevalent.

Maybe.
Lynch, Hartlett, Duursma,Cotchin, I see something there. Maybe something in junior years.
But I love Hinkley, respect Boak and love Dixon too. I'm sure the hatred your supporters have for Richmond isn't any more or less than how the rest of the comp feels about us, hate everyone on our list, respect Benny and Dusty.
As for Port supporters in Melbourne, well its simply maths. There are 9 Victorian teams and two bastard child's (Sydney/Brisbane) who carry the support. Very rare to find many interstate supporters of any team down here.

Compete for Tassie Govt money? Should get a Govt free pass from suspensions when they play in that state. Draw a crowd then... Boags, Bangers n Biff!

Richmond supporters claiming they have rivals.
Wouldn't Rivalry claim a history?
The last 5 years don't build to this IMO.

Mid 60's to early 80's We had trade bad blood with Pies and finals bad blood with the Blues. Blues were the wealthy / rich gloaters, Tiges the working class gloaters and Pies the "income poor" haters. Plenty of spite and emotion in this 20 yr period between the 3. Then the master of the rivalry, Sheedy, went to the Bombers. Rivalries were redefined.

Surprisingly, over time, we tend to pair games with the hawks over the season. A mate and Hawks supporter used to be happy that the Hawks had dropped a regular season game to the Tiges because in that year they tended to win the granny! Not checked this out, but it feels about right. Agree also that Hawks / Tiges is about as far away from a rivalry as any team Vs GC.

The whole of SA including Kane knows it is a State teams rivalry.... the Cornes Family, the media, the efforts from Adelaide to hinder Port from entering the AFL are just a few issues. Wine vs beer. This is deep one diluted only by lesser coverage from Vic media.
It started before that.
Don't forget how much hype St.Kilda were getting - remember they had the best list ever. We beat them by a lot in early 2002 at Geelong (over 100 points from memory), then dared to beat them late in 2003. Can't recall who it was but someone said at Geelong that they had good young players too. Which was close to heretical at the time. You're right it definitely spiked after that 2004 pre-season, and then they thrashed us in Round 1.
There were some good moments after that. We beat them in the return match at Geelong in 2004 (when Scarlett ran the length of the ground to soccer a goal), in 2005 when we ran over the top of them in the last quarter at Etihad, and in 2006 or so when Grant "doesn't rate ruckmen" Thomas watched Ottens and King murder them. Then of course came 2007-2009. They got one back in the 2010 finals, but overall, it worked out well for us.
Richmond has few rivals for a very good reason.
I doubt very much that you have an understanding how that works.

As an Essendon supporter born in 91 I honestly don’t care about Carlton or Hawthorn for me it’s collingwood I suppose because of all the very close Anzac games over the years that I’ve been lucky enough to attend 
At games though Carlton supporters seem to be feral as, So either they still really hate us or that’s just normal Carlton fans

Using your ideology then, no one in their right mind would consider Essendon a rivalAs an Essendon supporter born in 91 I honestly don’t care about Carlton or Hawthorn for me it’s collingwood I suppose because of all the very close Anzac games over the years that I’ve been lucky enough to attend

Richmond supporters derail yet another thread. What's wrong with them?
For some unknown reason they still take great delight at Cotch from that elimination final 6 years ago, the fact he has since captained 3 premierships seems lost on them. Strange.I am a little confused with this narrative that Richmond and Port 'hate' eaxh other? What is their to hate?
Carlton - Stopped us in 72 and 82. Two years we were favourites to win. Eliminated us in 13' from 9th. But on the flip side we've got a 21-6 record against them, spank em round one every year and have beaten them in 4 grand finals.

LOL mission accomplished.
I'd put Essendon right up with, if not above, Collingwood.
Check the Carlton board: the Pies don't have their own thread, but the * sure do.
