Who are Carlton's Rivals?

Hello Blues Fans,

Since 2014, we—the students and professors of the Know Rivalry Project—have been studying rivalry for sports in North America with the help of message board members. Now we are expanding our research to the AFL. We also want to start the rivalry conversation here. Please help us ensure that the Carlton Blues are included by taking 9 minutes to complete our updated survey:

Our previous results in the US have been featured in several sports media outlets, as well as the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. You can view those results, links to media coverage, and learn more about us at our KnowRivalry.com website.

We use the Qualtrics online survey software for data collection. This academic research has been approved by two US universities' Institutional Review Boards (IRB) and it poses no risks to respondents. You'll find more information on the disclosure agreement that is required to start the survey. Thank you for helping us to include the Carlton Blues by participating and please share this with any other fans that may also help.

I started it, too many questions gave up.

All done and completed. Best of luck with the survey and your studies.

I'd be keen to see if feelings of rivalry vary between different age groups. My hunch is that such feelings would be strongest among older supporters. i think the kids today not only have other distractions, but the circumstances are also different. The competition is now national, player movement is greater than it's ever been, and I think also the idea of difference as expressed through tribalism is taught differently to what it once was. i'd hazard a guess and say that old school rivalries are dying, despite attempts by the AFL to try and pump life into what was always, IMO, a fairly flaccid concept.
