I think Crows, Port are better off downplaying the rivalry.
They need to compete on field, but combine forces to offset the big Vic club advantages, and interstate academy (especially Sydney) advantages.
Same as Freo, West Coast.
Nah, lean into the rivalry, which is probably the biggest in the AFL.
And cooperate fully behind the scenes, with each other and the other non-Vic clubs, against the scourge that is the AFL.
