I'd have to agree with Teague on this one. Malthouse said the same thing. In an age of national drafts, salary caps, national competition etc., I think those territorial battles are a thing of the past, a notion that exists more in the minds of older supporters. I doubt the players buy into it, and the younger generation certainly don't. Unless they start offering extra points for beating traditional foes, the other 17 teams are much of a muchness in my eyes.
