I'll start with Sydney

In 2004, Sydney and Essendon played a pre-season practice match in Newcastle and it attracted a crowd of 3,500 https://www.austadiums.com/sport/event/2094

If they did it would hurt their business. They want people watching old VFL videos, buying old guernseys etc At the end of the day, whether pre-1990 premierships are actually AFL premierships is just a matter of personal opinion, and not something that has a definitive answer. It's like how...

I honestly haven't watched an Eagles game since the Brisbane loss at the end of 2021. Judging by how the Judge era went down, I wouldn't expect the club to be down for too long

Never watched a game in my life

I'm going to need 300 likes for this post lads

People often say 1990 since that's the start of the 90s and the year the VFL became known as the AFL, although the competition still didn't even have representation from South Australia at that point.

Collingwood for off-field reasons, although if you're talking on-field events then the biggest rivalry would have been with the Brisbane Lions during 2001-2004. The old Lions rivalry to me is like a precursor to West Coast and Sydney's rivalry. The Eagles still viewed Fremantle as their main...

For me they're a new entity, although I can understand why someone would still see them as being the same Queensland club that started in 1987 (I say Queensland since the Bears were originally based on the Gold Coast).

Eagles will probably never win another wooden spoon in my lifetime. Even when they have a bad list the home ground advantage can still be enough to get them an away Elimination final.

I'd only stop liking Australian Rules Football if I got amnesia and woke up thinking I was British or something.

In other words they're not very good

No team named The Port Adelaide Power ever won a SANFL premiership. The way I see it, AFL Port Adelaide are just a spiritual continuation of the SANFL team. Although people are free to disagree with me.

If The Tasmania Devils ever become an AFL team then I'd vote for them and Melbourne, since Devil could just be interpreted as another way of saying Demon if you don't have the contextual knowledge about the animal they're referencing. And if a Northern Territory team are named the Thunder...

Tie between Port and Freo Both equally generic and insipid downgrades from what they previously had

Gold Coast Suns could have been a feel good success story if they hadn't been so badly mismanaged GWS did in fact become a feel good story on the field, yet there's still a sense of negativity associated with them If Gold Coast made just one finals series then everyone over there would...

Either Geelong or Fremantle Brisbane Lions was a good rivalry in 2004-2005 that died out due to Brisbane becoming shithouse

Surprised he lasted this long to be honest When he first joined Carlton he was one of the biggest jokes in the AFL

Carlton's boys are playing for Eddie Betts as well as the guy who they made coach. And Collingwood hate losing to teams like Essendon I'm predicting at least one of them will win.

Don't make an image like this

Not including Bombers 2013 for obvious reasons

His team has the longest current streak of finals appearances in the league Good will like that goes a long way in the AFL media

Another unglamorous player like Tom Cole

What about West Coast in 1995-1999 and 2002-2004? Falling into the finals due to home ground advantage and getting knocked out by anyone and everyone in the first two weeks of the finals isn't something foreign to the club

RIP Shane Yarran

Some observations in light of today's events: *Partington was playing in a final in just his second year, now he's delisted all of a sudden without having played another game, I honestly can't recall any other players with a career trajectory like this *Frasier McIness is the Steven Bradbury of...
