dude no offence but you really need a girlfriend and if you got one you really need to take her out more lol good stats bud
 
Tas, you are usually on the money mate but this is a pretty ordinary effort from you.

We have to disregard our history because we changed the name from VFL to AFL and included some franchises?

FFS mate, if nothing else Mike Brady's song would have to be 'Up There Ashley Sampi' for a start and that just don't sound right.

BTW, Hawthorn does hold the record for the most consecutive finals appearances at 13, and given that half the competition can make the finals each year now and it still hasn't been broken makes that an even more impressive achievement.

Incorrect. Collingwood does with 15 consecutive finals appearances.

If you are referring to the period of 1897 - 1911 try checking your facts.

Collingwood played finals in the years 1901 - 1911 inclusive.

Hawthorn holds the record.

Do better research sunshine - it stops you from making yourself looking stupid.

So Collingwood making the Top 4 doesnt count as playing in finals?
 
I think bring up stats from an era that lacked electricity is a bit archaic.

I think we should just take stats from when the AFL was the AFL and not VFL.

Early VFL wasn't much, if any, better than the amateur leagues.
Rather bizarre and stupid thing to say.

At a guess I'd say Hawthorn in the 80s-90s.

Does anyone know what the current record streak is for consecutive finals appearances is?

Looking at the Hawthorn list, coach, and recruiting department, combined with the number of father son draft picks coming up over the next 15 years, the Hawks look set for a long time. If they can keep Clarkson as coach I would reckon they won't miss a finals berth until 2021 or depending on injuries 2022. Will that be a record?

Sorry bud, the rules have been changed on father-son so you cannot bank on a single one of these necessarily joining your club.

That's true, it is impressive although the draft and salary cap appear to have ensured that there will never be another Hawthorn-like dynasty. It is more difficult to be mediocre and above for 13 years in a row today than it was to be very good to excellent throughout the 80s.
 
allthestats.com says they played finals so depending on which website you look at depends on your answer moonlight.

allthestats lumps the last 14 games of 1898 etc. together as all being finals.

The first 12 actually made up an odd 3 week round robin style tournament involving all eight teams to decide the finalists, it's only the last two that were finals.
