Next big rivalry in footy

[RonnieRaven]

Freo vs hawks to start up again
Freo had the second youngest team on the weekend.
Hawks I’m guessing would be youngest or third youngest.
The back half of the decade should see lots of great battles!

(I am hoping) Collingwood Versus the Hawks.

They would not be happy about the other week, and with the Hawks seemingly on a good trajectory, we can potentially start clashing in H&A and finals in years to come. The silky Skills of the Pies, up against the blue collar grunt of the Hawks.

Also, 2011 Still hurts like a bitch. I reckon that was our strongest side. (Fk You Luke Ball!)

Melbourne vs Brisbane has been intensifying in recent years. A few finals matches, the blackout at the Gabba and Brisbane's near comeback at the MCG this season.

Won't be surprised if they meet in the grand final after 2 finals meetings this decade with the score 1-1.

North Melbourne v Tanking

Yawn

Dogs fans vs Bevo

 

[PerthBoy86]

Brisbane vs Melbourne. Hoping its the GF this year, always nice seeing new matchups.

 

[BigVic]

North vs Hawks could reignite. Midfield battle between Reid and Newcombe. Met in several GF's 50 years ago.

 

[BigVic]

Gold Coast and GWS. Two of the newest expansion teams with two smart coaches in Dimma and Kingers from 2024.

Adelaide v Sydney is shaping up to be potentially very tasty ! Hope the AFL schedules Crows v Swans rnd 1 next year on prime time national tv 7 PM Friday or Saturday Night (at Adelaide Oval naturally)

Fitzroy played Melbourne in a grand final once (although you have to go back all the way to 1900)

 

[BigVic]

GWS-Collingwood should be considered. Crossed paths in 3 finals and 2 epic prelims decided by under a goal

It used to be the opposite of an attractive rivalry. Crows were typically a foil who tended to frustratingly edge the Swans. H2H shifted about a decade ago around the time of Sanderson/Walsh, but fairly nid before then.

Pies Hawks isn't a rivalry Hawks are a bogey club for us.

Giants Pies could be. They're gonna be on top in the next few years I think. Hope we are there to challenge them.

West Coast-Sydney 2000s vibes

2019 Prelim - GWS by 4 points
2023 Prelim - COLL by 1 point

5 points the total each prelim has been decided by with the leger 1-1

North vs Hawks could reignite. Midfield battle between Reid and Newcombe. Met in several GF's 50 years ago.

Two years from now, maybe 6th v almost certainly still 15th-18th, can't see that being a rivalry.

 

[BattlerGM]

Essendon fans and Essendon.

At least I have common ground with Collingwood and Carlton.

 

[Proud New Father of 3]

Maynard vs. Angus BraySnore

 

[Cleansweep17]

I’m calling it now. GWS v Pies

They had the 19 prelim and 23 prelim. 1-1
And are the two favourites for the 24 flag.

Bit of a David v Goliath vibe too.

Also off field Treloar and Hill trades ignites the tension

 

[BigVic]

Brisbane and GWS especially if the inaugural Anzac evening clash in Canberra gains traction.

Brisbane vs Collingwood has reignited on the back of one of the great grand finals.

More like Mason cox and our petting zoo

 

[Billy ray]

Giants social media team v Suns

 

[PowerBaz]

If Tredrea gets on the board then Tredrea v Current board and administration + Hinkley.

 

[terrybull]

If both teams keep improving then Carlton and St.Kilda rivalry is going to be huge.
