Gee, with respect, I don't get this at all. If you start removing the big club rivalries.....what actually gets a supporter really passionate ? I have no emotion about beating teams like Gold Coast...or GWS, it's a job that has to be done to be successful that's for sure, but I don't & will never feel the same about beating them as opposed to beating Collingwood, or Essendon, or Richmond .....or Hawthorn (hopefully one day !). If there's no difference to the supporters, why does the AFL bother scheduling in blockbuster games between sides such as Us & Collingwood/Essendon, Hawthorn & Geelong & the like ?
