adelaide
a rivalry based on geographical proximity and large supporter bases, the rivalry intensified as both clubs contested several grand finals between 1969 and 1982, including the 1972 grand final where richmond equalled the highest score ever in a grand final, only to be bettered by carlton in the same match. the following year richmond won the 1973 grand final in an even more physically bitter contest than in recent encounters between the two sides; carlton got their revenge in 1982 by defeating richmond in their last grand final appearance until their win over adelaide in 2017. in 2013, carlton beat richmond by 20 points in an elimination final, which was richmond's first final since 2001, and third final since 1982.
