Sure. I certainly don’t have an issue with anyone celebrating the success of a club they support in another league, or even another sport. It’s just not this league is all I’m saying, which dampens its relevance here.
Thats fair enough and when discussing the VFL/AFL it has zero relevance. But when discussing the history of the game it is very relevant and one the custodians of the game fail to acknowledge or inform people of.
It is my opinion that when things like for example most consecutive premierships is discussed the commentary teams should point out that in the VFL/AFL league it is collingwood who has the record, but the benchmark in Australian football at the highest level is Port adelaide with 6 in a row.
This is why the AFL should not have any part what so ever in being custodians of the game. They should have a 10% voice in it at most.
Port Adelaide with 30 odd highest level premierships or East Fremantle with 25 odd highest level premierships is very relevant to the history of the sport. They are the benchmark in Aussie rules at the highest level.
