    Instances where the Preliminary Final was the real grand final

    Agree. The other injury that changed the 2007 finals was Josh Fraser. Had he played in the prelim instead of his replacement Guy Richards/Chris Bryan, the influential game of Brad Ottens likely doesn’t happen and Collingwood wins. However remember that both Anthony Rocca and Nathan Buckley got...

    Opinion How do we fix the compromised season fixture?

    How about every team negotiates with each other club to determine the fixture. Under this, everyone plays each other once and signs an agreement with 6 other teams to play a double up. Teams may look at minimising travel. Others may look at the commercial approach. Others may try to project a...

    St Kilda complain about priority draft access in Oct 2024; now set to gain priority access to a first / second round pick via their NGA access

    I am not even sure you have to prove it. All you need to do is tick a box on your junior club registration that says you are aboriginal or have a parent born overseas. I did this for my son earlier this year out of curiosity and the very next day an invite came to join a club NGA.

    The Premiership favourite- 2025

    Adelaide did finish 15th last year, meaning that GC will have played 14th-18th in their first 5 matches. The fixture could not have been any easier based on last years ladder. In contrast, Collingwood has played 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8. Cats and Hawks the only ones missing so far.

    AFL Grand Final Grand Final Win-Loss Records

    Only two teams in history have won a home Super Bowl 2020 and 2021. It is rare for the host stadium team to even make it (1/16 chance) The host is known usually four or five years in advance, and it is usually rotated in warmer climates. Occasionally a new stadium in cold weather is granted a...

    Proposal to include premierships dating back to 1870 gathering pace

    You are right. I meant 1888 English Football League as day one, but clearly there were existing clubs with ad hoc competition before that, much like the VFA prior to 1894.

    Proposal to include premierships dating back to 1870 gathering pace

    Amazing that Geelong website claims “premierships” between 1870 and 1887 in an association that did not award premierships and wasn’t even a formal competition until 1888.

    Proposal to include premierships dating back to 1870 gathering pace

    See my above post. There was no formal VFA premiership prior to 1888. The was no standard fixture until 1894. English football had a formal premiership and standard fixture from Day 1.

    Proposal to include premierships dating back to 1870 gathering pace

    As far as my Wikipedia research goes: 1870 - No formal competition, just clubs organising a few games between themselves. 1877 - VFA started to agree on rules but there was no formal competition or ranking, standard fixture or premierships awarded. 1888 - formal competition with ladder and...
