It says you won 2?Happy with that, I think you will find the Blues have 22 flags when you count VFA/VFLAFL
Essendon 20
Pies/Cats 16

If a team won 100 premierships in a row ending in 2009 it is still very relevant and would be constantly talked about.
No one disputes that the more recent a premiership the more it is in conversation, but your system is particularly poor.
Look at the Brisbane 3 peat from 01-03 which is still talked about now.
Why is a flag in 2020 more relevant than a flag in 2015?
More recent, yes.
Try telling St. Kilda supporters that their 1966 flag is less relevant than Richmond's 2020 flag, by a magnitude of approximately 10,000 times.
When you come out of your coma, then try to tell them it is even half as relevant.
The 'theory' is just plain stupid.
Do night premierships count now?
personally I don’t reckon premierships won before richmond joined should count

‘people like doing things they think people have done for years, decades, generations, centuries, Millenia.
Why els would they do apparently absurd things
but bear in mind some tightly held customs are not nearly as old as imagined. Ol Lizzy in buck house is a shocker for that
Because a flag in 2020 makes you the reigning premier. FMD!
Well done.
A premiership is a premiership.
Ask St. Kilda supporters what they perceive to be the most relevant premiership. Suggest most will say 1966.
To me, as a Collingwood supporter, I can't split 1990 and 2010. Those two are closely followed by 13 others that occurred prior to my birth year.

Richmond should win the next two easily, getting 5 more in the next 10 years could be a doddle...

I wonder what those 120,000 people who attended the 1970 Grand Final think of that? (Melbourne population 2/5 million) Perhaps they discuss it with the 100,000 plus who attended the Grand Final in the 50's, '60's, 70's and '80s 27 times in an amateur and semi-professional local league? You have to ask yourself why do we all bother?
Why bother trying to win if you can just coast on 2010, or 1966, or whatever? But hey, if you think you can look back fondly on the Collingwood successes of 100 years ago who am I to argue? That said, I reckon your opinion has more to do with Collingwood's appalling record over the past six decades than anything else.
Quick stat for you - the Tigers have won as much in the past four seasons as the Pies have in the past 67 seasons.

and what about 1990 marks a change from an amateur or semi-professional local league? Did players/coaches etc not get paid prior to this? is that when non-victorian teams were introduced to move away from a local league?

2 more with the same group is a bit much, let alone the next 2 which would make us the greatest team in history.
if we get one more from this group ill be happy, and that puts us on 14. then its just if we can get another dynasty before either essendon or carlton win 1, or collingwood 2. seems unlikely.
Love some Magpie salt... but yours is particularly delicious.
Fudge with salted caramel?

They've won 8 in my life time.
When I was a kid, I remember tallying up flags and I always got Richmond's 10 mixed up with Melbourne's 12 to the point I subconsciously placed them both on 12.
It's just my subconscious being reminded every time they win a flag, that they didn't have as much as I thought they did.

We Exist To Win Premierships
yeh but, if we'd kick 20 more goals in the 2007GF, the math would be completely different
Mmmm... more salt. Love it. Keep it coming. Can't get enough. Do you do other salt lines - bottled salty tears, salted caramel Fadge, salt and vinegar chips,... if not you should.
I think a lot of people have gotten upset about this. The thing is a grand final in 1953 is really only majorly significant to a small percentage of the population.
I firmly believe that the most recent premiership will always hold more power.
