Choketopia 2009

[Hodgepodge]

It's all falling into place.

The greatest assembly of chokers in VFL/AFL history has assembled and all is in readiness for the 2009 Choke-Off for the 2009 flag.

Port Adelaide excluded.

From the top.

St Kilda - Haven't won a flag since '66. Led by a captain who has has missed a kick at goal to lose the game in two weeks running.

Geelong - The Handbaggers are not to be forgotten when it comes to choking. One flag since the 60s makes them a prime contender.

Western Bulldogs - No flag since 1954. Brad Johnson is their star choker.

Collingwood - 1 flag in 50 years.

Adelaide - 28.6% winning finals record.

Carlton - No legitimate flag since 1982. No finals since 2001. Look for Chris Judd to go missing when the game is on the line.

Brisbane - The only team to lose a Grand Final to Port Adelaide

Ladies and gentlemen we have assembled the finest chokers the game knows.

Place your votes.

[Rustin Cohle]

Wait until this evening and we'll know the answer.

You seem to have forgotten one team there HP

Hawthorn - Up an coming team meant to be in the middle of Premiership window but likely not to even make the finals.

Youngest team in the competition, missing a forward line through injury and suspension. Fielding the most inexperienced side of the year.

Doesn't qualify I'm afraid.

And injury and suspension dont apply to anyone else in the comp?

 

[Invigoration]

Poor Hawthorn, it was such a given they were the biggest chokes that they didn't even warrant a position in the poll.

Interesting to see the rest fight out for second place though.

And you forgot

"Interstate teams have to travel therefore tire toward the end of the year"

 

[Hodgepodge]

They certainly do, but Hawthorn are the clear leaders.

1st on the injury ladder.
Youngest side.
Most inexperienced side.
Most debut players.

 

[WA ROO]

Fail HP
The Melbourne flogs are gaining on you in the award

 

[mcuzzy]

Why aren't the hawks in this poll?

I are confused

 

[Hodgepodge]

For the reasons I listed above.

Also because we average more premierships per year than any other side.

Most excuses.

The only choking the Hawks will be doing in September is at their local KFC, when Buddy, Dew & Hodge try to eat the whole menu at once.

Choketopia will happen today at the G when the Raining (tears) premiers choke their way to mad monday

[Gouldy]

Pay that. I'm guessing he meant something lost "Most in the last 25 years" or something similar.
