If Port win a flag before Adelaide making it 2 flags a piece, it'll make Port the more successful of the two clubs in the AFL. Port lead head to head between the two and have a better overall win percentage.

West Coast play heaps of twilight fixtures and they're a financial powerhouse.

I'm surprised to see more people hate Port Adelaide than they do Adelaide. Is it because of David Koch?

Hawthorn's win rate since the start of 2007 is now 60.42%, while Collingwood's is 60.31% and Sydney's is 59.69%. Amazing to think Hawthorn have won 4 flags in that time while Collingwood and Sydney have only won 1 flag each.

So far Carlton's 5 year plan under Michael Voss is tracking similar to Richmond's 5 year plan under Terry Wallace. Since Richmond have got it together and become good again does this make Carlton the new Richmond? Or are Essendon the new Richmond?

Everyone said Carlton were going to bolt from mid table to top 4 this year but instead they're bolting towards the bottom 4. Maybe these people were right all along and they merely had their crystal balls upside down.

Why are Port Adelaide struggling financially despite financial guru David Koch having been president since 2012? I don't get it. Collingwood were in a horrible position financially when Eddie McGuire arrived, yet within a decade the club became a financial powerhouse. We were told the reason...

Slightly off topic but I think we're due for a new logo. We've had the current ones for nearly two decades and they're starting to look dated.

West Coast regularly beat Brisbane during the Lions 2001-04 era, so using Richmond logic that means West Coast's 2006 premiership team was a stronger team than the 2001-04 Lions. I've never seen anyone try and argue that West Coast 2006 was a stronger team though.

We don't get to play finals at Kardinia Park though, yet we've made 10 grand finals in the last 35 years and won four flags. You only have to look at recent years when we've been an average team (2012, 2015, 2018) to see our home ground advantage alone doesn't help us finish top 4. During those...

I can't believe people rate Richmond 2017-20 higher than Hawthorn 2012-15, just because Richmond beat Hawthorn multiple times from 2012-15. Carlton beat us multiple times from 2007-2011 and were a kick on the siren away from beating us in 2011, does that mean Carlton were a better team than us?

I heard this yesterday and thought it couldn't possibly be true given how often clubs sack coaches. I looked it up and saw we've only had four coaches since we sacked John Devine in 1988. Malcolm Blight, Gary Ayres and Mark Thompson all resigned as coach. None of them were sacked and given how...

Saying Gary Jr is remembered as a Sun is like saying Gary Sr is remembered as a Hawk. No one thinks of Gold Coast or Hawthorn when they hear the name Gary Ablett. They always think of Geelong first and foremost.

How many Tambling over Franklin threads have been made over the years? Heaps.
