4 time premiership players

[Feerits Elf]

^ 67, 69, 73, 74, 80. Five

 

[SunKing]

ummmmm try the whole collingwood team nearly in the 1920's when they wone 4 grand finals in a row. that team was the greatest ever team no questions along with the best coach

Brrrp wrong. Lions 2001-2003 is the greatest ever

 

[Hollow Knight]

Jonathan Brown, Simon Black and Luke Power

(next year)

 

[ClarkeM]

What about Caracella? Essendon to Brisbane.

 

[Feerits Elf]

7 for Tuck
6 for Harry, Leeter, Bluey Adams and Barassi
5 for Bartlett, G Coventry, Rumney, Dibbs, Brereton, Mew, Ayres
4 for Dunstall, Dipper, Langford, Buckenara, Kennedy, Platten, Jesaulenko, Pike, Beveridge, S Coventry, Matthews, Hutchison, Reynolds, Chesswas, Makeham etc. Heaps have won four

Collingwood (1927-36), Essendon (1942-50), Melbourne (1955-64), Hawthorn (1978-91) most represented clubs. Must be a few more Carlton players in the mix, surely

 

[Hollow Knight]

2 flags total. 2000 and 2003.

 

[Chasing the Dream]

^ Not the whole Collingwood team. Just over half.

Edit: with just 18 players in a team, 12 played together in flags 1927-30. Good effort to keep two-thirds on the park for four flags in a row

That is impossible, they must have been rorting the salary cap Asterix those flags.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Asterix those flags.

 

[Lehban]

Equal? Please big difference in the standards of both

LOL I think Rory is out of line with that remark every one knows that vfl is crap compared to Sanfl

 

[True Bluebagger]

Footscray won in 54.

Six flags for Barass 1955-1964, plus a seventh in 1968.

But still no criminal conviction. Dammit! Pike wins again!!

He didn't play in '68 GF, he was coach only in that game.

They were the Sydney of their time. Side remained unchanged for 6 consecutive weeks - rounds 3-8, 1929.

greg phillips won 10 premierships with the real port adelaide....the port magpies.......no the pretend team they call the power

Good spot.

So when did Barassi play his final senior VFL match? I understand he retired in 1969.

Only played one game in '69 (Rd 7).

Getaway

Thats all that's on his CV apart from his contact details.

Barrassi may be a horrible enemy of Collingwood, but even a one-eyed Pie like me has to concede he is the true Grand Final King. Played in 6 flag sides, coached what? another 4? Lost four or more as a coach too, perhaps 2 as a player?

I know Norm Smith coached 6 or something but was never a great player like "Mrs Football", it should be called the Barrassi medal.

 

[Cyclops]

Funny thing, the Pies payed every player the same (IIRC it was 3 quid, they later upped it to 5 quid each). Players could get much more, even in the VFA. Ron Todd later crossed to Williamstown and got paid a pound per goal on top of his match payments, and he kicked 188!

They truly played for the love of the jumper in them days. That and the little extras John Wren would distribute in the rooms after thas game. Lou Richards has a funny story about that, I forget how it goes.

 

[Beckers]

Fos Williams also won 7 in a time where the SANFL and VFL were equal.

Needed my morning laugh

Smith mightn't have been the flashiest player and his playing record might not read quite as well, but to say he wasn't a great player is a bit harsh.

Thanks ODN, I didn't research that far back.

Shame we lost in 86' Johnson & Doull(in his last game) could have had ended up with 5.

Maybe we're using a different scale?

Barrassi as a player > Smith

Barrassi as a coach > or = Smith

Barrassi as a GF performer > Smith

in my somewhat ignorant view.

 

[Demonheart]

Don Williams played in 6 - 55, 56, 57, 59 & 64. Also 2 losing 54 & 58.

Not a bad effort, anyone else played in 6 or higher?
