The official statistical policy of the Australian Football League (AFL) is that it is one continuous competition from 1897 onward.
As all the Premierships before the League was formed went only to clubs that latter formed the League, in the early years of the League Premiership lists included ones from the VFA (1877-1896) and also before there was any formal administration of the competition.
George Cathie, the founding editor of the 'Football Record' was also the first to begin the collation of League records.
Carter seemed to have the idea that Geelong's VFA Premierships were somehow 'unknown' even though they have always been listed in the in official statistical history of the AFL - then 'AFL Record Season Guide'. (And numerous other publications in all eras.) The issue mainly arose from his ignorance.What's your view on Carter's motion to have VFA premierships included in club tallies?
What do you make of this, from the 1913 GF footy Record (if anything)?
