Years since last premiership

[threesixpio]

1964
Melbourne had 12 premierships
Hawthorn 1

Can you imagine a person from that time being told Hawks would win their 13th before Melbourne

First thing I'd do if I had a time machine

Trolling at a new level

 

[Bazza97]

lol Melbourne

 

[raskolnikov]

Chin up, still got the dees below you

For another year or two.

Its been 22 years since Fremantle has come into the comp not 23 going off the logic in the OP, so your aggregate is out.

 

[Roddy]

I thought Geelong had way more flags. Or so they claim.

I've heard they want to start counting all the flags their players won in junior ranks before they joined the club in Geelong's total too. Port are apparently about the same.

And the point of this thread is....what?

Celebrating Saints half century? No, perhaps not

Stunning when you think of it that way, isn't it.

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Be interesting to see how the nrl compares they dont seem to get many back to back winners.

I bet you are fun at parties.

How many people are going to post this reply in threads. I'd suggest your lack of creativity would also be a bore.

 

[The Swert]

Do you have a trend of this aggregate so we can see if the competition is improving or not?

The AFL is currently trending Hawthorn.

Can you imagine what the Melbourne posters wouldve been like if BF was around in 1964

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.

Another Hawk poster trying to pump up their club's tyres.

Personally, I just opened this thread to see the 21 next to Carlton.

I did the same, except to see the 15 next to the Pies.

As at the end of 2016 this is the number of years since each teams last premiership. (#) indicates total # of premierships. * indicates special case for newer teams without a cup yet.

0 - Footscray (2)
1 - Hawthorn (13)
4 - Sydney (5)
5 - Geelong (9)
5 - GWS* (0)
6 - Collingwood (15)
6 - Gold Coast* (0)
10 - West Coast (3)
12 - Port Adelaide (1)
13 - Brisbane (3)
16 - Essendon (16)
17 - North Melbourne (4)
18 - Adelaide (2)
21 - Carlton (16)
23 - Fremantle* (0)
36 - Richmond (10)
50 - St.Kilda (1)
52 - Melbourne (12)
----------------------------
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

Strange with all this talk of collingwood being an absolute failure they still reletively had had recent sucess.

Well it has only been 2 since 1958 (1990 and 2010)

I wouldn't invite him.

If I invited you I would have to explain and justify to you the quality of the list of people I had invited for the whole evening - going from your work in the Worst Nightmare thread.....

 

[Gavin Excell]

Interesting thing is the last 10 orso years have seen 3 big droughts broken

Sydney (60+ years), Geelong (40), Dogs (60)

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Geezus - imagine a whole lifetime without seeing a flag

The big wet.

Wouldn't mind the Dees breaking the drought too soon.

St Kilda? Hope they continue to suffer in perpetuity

I suffer from Hawthorn exceptionalism too much and have lost the empathetic skill you are suggesting

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.
