First club to 17 premierships?

[GiantHawk]

As per the thread title.

The only real contenders are:
Carlton - 16 premierships
Essendon - 16 premierships
Collingwood - 15 premierships
Hawthorn - 13 premierships
Melbourne - 12 premierships
Richmond - 12 premierships


Can Essendon or Carlton win a premiership before Collingwood win 2, Hawthorn win 4 or either Melbourne or Richmond win 5?

 

[craffles]

Nobody:
Port fans: m8 we’ve already got 30+ Premierships bloody vic bias blah blah blah Connor Rozee was robbed of rising star something something Kane Cornes

 

[Power Raid]

There's no V in AFL

Port has 30+ premierships and I still can't believe Rozee didn't win the brownlow

No matter the state of each team, it’s like starting a match 3 goals down.

Richmond can win another one, maybe 2.

The most likely clubs to get to 17 first are the ones closest to 17.

1964 was our last one, um.......... I think your trolling

 

[Kipps]

Good thread besides the fact Hawthorn/Richmond/Melbourne aren't in the race

 

[gym4life]

Probably eagles.

 

[demondavey]

Carlton will win a flag under Teague within 3-4 years.

 

[Headless]

Can't see Melbourne not going back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

Hawthorn probably. No one would’ve thought they’d beat Melbourne to 13 flags, when the count was 12-1 against them, but they did. No club is winning flags as often as Hawthorn are.

Melbourne will always have 2018, though.

 

[Ishmael_]

Hawthorn or West Coast for AFL premierships.

Hawthorn for VFL/AFL premierships, cuz you know they've won most of theirs in the last 50 years.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Its only out of Carlton Essendon Collingwood.

Surprised Richmond have won 12, felt more like 8.

 

[Tony Harrison]

Way too hard to predict for me.

Haha that doesn't even make sense.

You remember all Carlton's 16 flags though?
Those 5 before Richmond won their 1st?

Before Saturday's game we were discussing how much each team had. Most had Richmond in single digits.

Whereas everyone knew Essendon and Carlton on 16. (some thought Collingwood were on 16 too)

Fair enough.
Seems odd to me. Obviously people will know who's on top so most likely to get those two right.
But Richmond having been on 10 since 1980, I don't see why most would have them in single digits.

Hawthorn probably. No one would’ve thought they’d beat Melbourne to 13 flags, when the count was 12-1 against them, but they did. No club is winning flags as often as Hawthorn are.

Still to win 4 more when Carlton or Essendon only have one to go, I think Carlton are on the up a bit.

 

[JayJ20]

We’re stuffed.

Carlton’s my pick. With Cripps, they’re building a good list. I can see them do a Brisbane in the next two years if they complete all of their trades.

Collingwood would have been the most logical choice if they didn’t choke all the time.

It's easy to say that when a team is rebuilding but then we've seen so many failed rebuilds over the years, or successful ones that still didn't get a flag.
So you just can't tell.
A lot has to go right to get one.
Most would have had the dees as most likely to get the next flag out of them, blues and Essendon at the end of 2018 but now are reconsidering.
But they could also rise straight back up.

And that's why I'm sitting on the fence

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Rookie numbers

 

[MadMundy]

Mate what do you mean first? Port Adelaide already have 34. If you didn't know just spend 5 minutes with any Port fan and they'll tell ya all about how their 33 SANFL flags should count.

 

[telsor]

Probably wont be Richmond...we win in batches of 5.

20,21,32,34,43
67,69,73,74,80
17,19,??,??,??

Then we have a break for a few decades before the next 5....We might be first to 20 sometime around 2050 though

Yeah I know what you mean, but I do think Carlton under Teague look the best I’ve seen in years. Who knows.
