The amazing thing about this shitfight, it can spill into almost any thread.

I thought the link here might be tenuous, but here we are.

Its almost like we have a special group set up where we discuss our responses to posts.

Or maybe it was just a comment on some fans from some clubs erroneously reporting their flag numbers.

295

I keep a spreadsheet tracking the elasped years between the silverware. In a competition that's trying to be more equal recently I measure the total aggregate years since each team won a cup. In an even competition each team should win every 18 years but the teams with the longest droughts reduce the aggregate the most.

The bulldogs win in 2016 reduced the aggregate from a record 339 in 2015 to 295 years. With the tigers being a chance this years a win by them would reduce the aggregate to 276. (295 + 17 - 36) Wins by either St.Kilda or Melbourne look less likely but would reduce the aggregate by more.

I can't get enthused about a GWS, Gold Coast wins yet because they are so new but Freo is now well overdue to break the duck.

With Adelaide going so well this year a win by them reduces the aggregate but only 1 but that's still better than an increase.

I'd like to see this for the AFL rather than including the VFL sats

Melbourne in 2000 St.Kilda in 2010

Essendon would've won 100 times out of 100 regardless of who they played in 2000. MAYBE Carlton could've pushed them but they choked hard against us in the first week. Really, we may as well not have even played in our last two Grand Finals. Wiped from the memory. Had a glimmer of hope in 88 and was quietly confident but the game was over by quarter time.
