Media keep the old school rivalry's alive because its good for business and ratings...the AFL love it too and Carlton playing finals especially vs the traditional rivals is a money tree guaranteed to grow the AFL purse.

Yes, I think that's part of it. The groups that GTC refers to are completely justified in their feelings on this issue, but I think they represent a niche demographic within the supporter base, and one that is on the decline. The media is also keen to keep creating new rivalries.

First home game in a month -- tough run for the lads but still think Collingwood are a little soft.

Pretty sure I heard them say they are the number 1 pressure side in the comp.

We have the added incentive of ruining the Pies double chance now. Go Blues!

Collingwood didn't like the in-close pressure against the Swans today. Cut the free run that have been enjoying lately.
I reckon if we win we will play them again the first week of finals.

It got reversed today and they got found out. big time. Of their 7 goals 4 were frees, some real shockers, and two very generous turnovers.
