Why is Essendon listed as number 1 on the list from 1897?

C'mon Teagy we want 23 asap.
The VFA was a stand alone and the senior competition in Victoria at the time 1870 to 1896, - it’s logical that they should be counted. You’re not comparing because the VFL wasn’t created till 1897.

No they shouldnt be counted.
team broke away from VFA to form the VFL in 1897.
The VFL rebranded itself to AFL and invited other teams to join the already established league
VFA, SANFL and WAFL should not be counted for this reason.

Also * are clearly meant to be #2 on the first image as they were second to 16 and also fall behind alphabetically.
Nor are they closer to 17 (or 23) than we are

Haven't won a final without Sheeds in 40 years!
Lot of usernames going to the bin if this happens lol
I think eventually * will have to hand back the salary cap cheating cup.
Makes us 23
Makes us 23
Both of their salary cheating cups, you mean, right ?
Yes mate ..True
Sorry don’t agree, the VFL teams from the VFA were the senior teams - and created a senior competition in the VFL, which then morphed into the AFL.
The SANFL, WAFL haven’t morphed into anything else.

I agree on the Sanfl Wafl and the VFL = AFl
the only disagreement is the senior teams form the VFA left that league to form their own. The VFA operated as its own league until 1995.
Once the senior clubs elected to leave the VFA and form their own league they started form scratch in a new league.
Carlton has 6 VFA cups and 16 VFL/AFL but I dont believe they should be tallied together.
