In regards, to the three AFL clubs yet to taste premiership glory

[RedVest4]

In regards, to the three AFL clubs yet to taste premiership glory (Fremantle, Gold Coast and GWS) there is no way to calculate a score for them with absolute accuracy. So it has been decided that there score - armed with an asterisk - will be based on the law of averages and the assumption that they win one flag in the next 18 years, such is the nature of the 18-team competition. We resisted the temptation to rank them all stone motherless last (sorry St Kilda) or exclude them altogether. This is because it would be unfair and probably inaccurate to categorise a club yet to win a premiership in their short eight year existence as less successful that a team who has won just 1 in over140 years (again, sorry St Kilda). So, basically Fremantle, Gold Coast and GWS are estimates or progress scores, because GWS are younger (and hence, had less years of not winning the premiership) they are ranked highest on the ladder out of these three premiershipless teams. Due to this same logic, Fremantle is the lowest ranked of these clubs. The scores of Fremantle, and to a lesser extent Gold Coast, are also increased (which is bad!) very marginally (decimal places, marginally) because of the fact they played in the AFL when there were less teams and also failed to win the premiership, unlike GWS who have only existed in an 18-team AFL competition.

You could also take wooden spoons off premierships making the saints the clear bottom club on -26 premierships.
Freo are on -1
GC and GWS are -2

We did that about 7-8 years ago. Start searching.

Good thread premise, but OP needs to learn to count...flags only started being a thing 122 years ago.

I reckon GC will win a flag first out of the 3. Then GWS, then Freo.

My only concern is what caused you to associate these two items, were you wearing the Dockers jumper or the dildo at the time you noticed this, please I hope you don't embarrass yourself by saying it was the Dockers jumper.

Yeah Well im 32 years old and followed freo since late 2001, early 2002.

Supporting freo has taken at least 15-20 years of my life span to be honest.

I have conceded the fact that I wont see freo win a flag in my life time.

That’s hardly a plausible reason for buying two dildos mate.

 

[sdfc]

Freo are easily the lamest of the three but when they do win one it'll be the first of a hat trick. The only trouble is I'll be dead.
