Do we have a modern rival and if so who is it?

The AFL website is saying our modern day rivalry is with Geelong.

IT would be fair to say Richmond and Geelong don't necessarily like each other.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/607945/they-don-t-like-each-other-five-moments-shaping-a-spiteful-rivalry

We've heard Kane Cornes in the past reckon it's with his Port Adelaide.

Jack Riewoldt was asked on AFL360 about who our main rivalry was with these days and IIRC he replied there's traditional ones like Carlton and Collingwood but didn't say directly we have a modern rivalry. Just that we have met Geelong and GWS a number times recently in finals and Grand Finals.


So the question is do we have a modern rival and if so who is it?

Cats would hate us the most surely. 3 wins in finals and won the flag every time. Suckers

Our biggest modern day rival remains Lollingwood cause they got us in the 2018 Prelim.

Cats, Port, BrisVegas, GeeWizz et al are our biatches so we couldn’t care less.
