I don't really get the hate for North on here to be honest. Battling club that used to punch above their weight. CJ? We'd do the same thing to them if we could.

Because Norf stood by when we were on our knees in the early 1990s. They were prepared to let us die. In fact they were cheering for it.
During Save Our Skins, Bob Ansett was quote vocal that he was against the VFL offering financial support to us. His take was that if we couldn't stand on our own, we should fold.I'm not aware of what TP says above about Norf cheering on our demise, would love a bit of background on that. We were the architects of our own demise back then, and to their credit, they were a smart, innovative club that survived because of that ability (10-year rule, grand final breakfasts, Friday night footy, etc.).

30 odd years ago, but you never forget when someone is vocal about killing you off.
Which was the smart play, although we got the last laugh eventually. For now.Then you have Scott resting half the side in the last round and knocking us out of the 2015 finals.
We are getting what we deserve if I am being honest with myself. We barely barely played him and have old man Jack ahead of him.Attention seeking.

Also putting all our eggs in the Nank Soldo basket in which one of them missed over a year of footy.
Then our offer to him was two years. We can't show that low level of confidence in a bloke and expect him to stay.
It's just crazy that only North appear to want him. Maybe I overrate him.Personally I don't have a problem with CJ going where he gets the best deal, it's business after all.

Kinda feel like any other year their would be interest all round.
Plenty around to keep reminding you.I forgot.
The Richmond-Norf enmity goes back to the 70s when they were the Cinderella story: perennial losers who bought a contending team and we were the big bad meanies who denied them a historic first premiership. Add that to Keith Greig being given KB's Brownlow(s) and the feeling was mutual.

Anyway, they delighted in flogging us through the 90s when their minnow fan base were still resentful of our large one and took every opportunity to rub their on-field superiority in our faces.
Our dislike of them has also been fuelled by always having to play them at the Dump even when it's been nominally our home game. Then you have Scott resting half the side in the last round and knocking us out of the 2015 finals.
Now, many of us resent that money we and our club contribute to the AFL coffers gets handed to a team that would otherwise fold and then they steal our players.
