Every club has a bogey team. Who haunts your club with upsets and dominant win streaks?

THEY are the teams and games that haunt you.

Every club has a bogey team that just seems to step up and pull off the unlikely upset or maintain a long winning streak.

Have your say on the clubs and players that have the edge on your club below.


ADELAIDE - RICHMOND

Round 23, 2014. Adelaide Oval. Adelaide have the chance to all-but lock up a finals spot with victory over Richmond. The Tigers had different ideas and riding an amazing late-season win streak it was the Tigers who secured eighth place. The Tigers have won four of the last five games against the Crows, two of which have been in Adelaide. It is an amazing turnaround for Richmond who had lost the previous five to the Crows.

RICHMOND - GOLD COAST

We admit, Richmond is yet to play the Suns in Melbourne. However, Gold Coast has enjoyed the edge over the Tigers since earning a win in its inaugural season. The Cairns Curse struck twice before Richmond finally broke through at Cazaly Stadium but the Suns quickly reasserted their dominance last year at Metricon Stadium. The most famous contest between the Suns and Tigers was decided in 2012 when NRL convert Karmichael Hunt kicked a goal after the siren to clinch a two-point win.

I thought that streak was against bottom sides with no hopes of making the finals, or sides with most of their players missing, or no decent sides

Surely we are Brisbane's bogey side? Beat them like 9 times in a row or something?

poo article no substance

Geelong is our bogey side. Not beaten since 2006
Pies have been a bogey side. Finally beaten last week for first time since 2007
Nothing melbourne is a bogey side. I'm sure it's something like they've won 7 of the past 8 encounters?

There could be some honorable mentions such as st Kilda run they had 9 or 10 wins and 1 draw? Till 2012?
Even Carlton and the doggies had us penciled in as easy wins for ages till recently, then again the dogs now are 2-0 against already during a rebuild  :-\

my view on the gold Coast losses
2011- went in thinking piece of cake. Got embarrassed
2012- went in thinking surely it won't happen again.. plus losing dusty, Maric etc
2013- finally stuffin won
2014- totally out of form tigers got beaten. The next 9 rounds proved we were woeful

can't wait till we can beat Geelong ffs



The anywhere, anytime Tigers.
