You'd be smiling like that too if you were banging Delta.

Think id be happier about the premiership actually

If Stratts brought the Premiership cup and placed it at the end of the bed, I'd boff him too!

Delta would have to wait.

Anyone else going to see the premierships cups in Adelaide today ?

Lineup to get picture with the premiership cups would be 2 hours....
Time very well spent.

Thought they might have had Hawka here

Just watched the 1988 GF win against Melbourne to compare against the 2014 win to see how we played back then in a big scoring win.

Although it's a game I rarely watch in recent times it well worth going there again. The total domination right up to the last minute, running in number supporting each other and with every player contributing. Absolutely awesome display which was similarly displayed against the $wans.

If it hadn't been wet perhaps it could have been a bigger thumping.

Next on the watch list will be the 89 GF. And I still get nervous watching that.

 

[Flukey!]

Still able to happily post, even though its November.

afl era started in 91 -we have 4 flags?!!!!

The answer is in the date on the article: September 26, 2014

So we jumped from third to top with our 2014 win. The 'includes 2014 finals' is presumably missing the big dance itself.

So they put us making the 2014 GF, but not winning it?
5 GF's. 3 Flags?
Stupid flogs!

To me the AFL era started in 1987 when WCE and Brisbane joined the AFL, effectively bringing an end to the suburban VFL teams only.

They may have re-named it in 1990 but nothing had effectively changed at that time from 1987.

I think we actually would go to 2nd (assuming flags is the tie breaker) on that arbitrary scale of measurement. They've already awarded our points for making finals and GF in '14.

I personally think winning a flag is more than 3 x as impressive as making the top 8 (this system awards 3pts for a flag and 1pt for making 8th or better) but to each their own. Cats fans will love the premise.

Agree

Surely winning the Flag is what it is all about - therefore 10 points for Premiers.

Yes, you're quite right - I totally missed that about the points.

I just saw the premiership total and went, "YEAH BABY, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT!!!"

...or y'know, something like that.

Where's 1991?

Poor HP - went down flying the flag, A true hawk man. He drives cats supporters absolutely insane and that can only be a good thing

I like to think it began in 1981 when we had our first non-victorian team in the competition.

I've pretty much just wrapped up watching all 12 Premiership Grand Finals... coz I could. After watching all that footage, I could only come up with one word to sum up the experience: Evolution.

We see thees mash ups.

Not to mention the salary cap and draft.

There is a fairly healthy chance that by the end of 2015 we will be second on that list.

All things being equal, we're already on top of that list because the only thing that matters is the number in that last column...
