Yes, I know there was a fight at the first Collingwood Vs Carlton game this year but I've never known a more friendly yet obviously heated on field rivalry than what we have.
I've been involved in scuffles (hopefully none of my own doing, at least I don't believe so) with Essendon, Richmond and hell even Geelong fans in the past. At the end of each Collingwood game that I have ever gone to I've had the pleasure of either being congratulated by a nearby Pies supporter and in turn wishing them luck (even if it wasn't completely sincere) or vice versa.
No other rivalry can I recall doing that at.
Keep the two games. Support BOTH outstanding charities and over time the fortunes of the two clubs will no doubt change as they always have.
If the AFL ever decided one CARL-COL game was enough in a season I'd picket!
We're entering the next true golden age of this rivalry. Even if for the next season or so we continue to lose more than win it's more than worth the rivalry continuing.
