Analysis Ranking the most to least successful clubs this century

[PhatBoy]

Cool story, but Hawks traded for Luke Hodge.

True, my bad - but even better - that again is pure (and good trading obviously) luck in many respects and obviously a brilliant pick at the draft table. But if anything it probably further highlights my point. What happens if Fremantle don’t decide to do that deal

It’s not ‘technically’ in the 20th century, but the year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century.
Australia was federated deliberately on January 1st 1901, because that was the first day of the 20th century.
January 1st 2001 is the first day of the 21st century.

Yeah, that was my point.

Beneficiaries of a diluted talent pool due to the expansion teams and compromised drafts

Oh, hang on…..you’re serious.

That team isn’t winning anything outside of that post expansion era - I think we all know and understand that

This is my view as well. A flag is amazing obviously but they’re hard to win and over 25 years you’re statistically not going to get much enjoyment if that is your only measurement of success.

Clubs like Geelong/Collingwood/Sydney/Hawthorn have been the most successful in my eyes.

Clubs like Brisbane/Richmond have had a lot of down time but have made the most of their up time.

That’s the Top 6 right there and you can raffle the rest.

Pretty sure Hawthorn and Brisbane have qualified for finals the same number of times since 2000

and who would you put above them genius? Port's had 13 final appearances this century with 9 of them in the top four and one season in the bottom two, they really should be more successful than what they are.

They also have the most minor premierships in this century tied with Geelong so they can win games

Flag- 75 points.
Runners up- 25 points.
Top 4- 20 points.
5th-8th- 10 points.

Using this points criterion, it produced the following:

2001-2025:

1. Geelong = 575
2. Brisbane Lions = 495
3. Hawthorn = 435
4. Sydney = 425
5. Collingwood = 410
6. West Coast = 310
7. Richmond = 305
8. Port Adelaide = 270
9. Western Bulldogs = 220
10. Adelaide = 185
11. Melbourne = 155
12. St Kilda = 150
13. GWS = 125
14. Fremantle = 125
15. Essendon = 115

Oh God, the Richmond campaigners are guna take this well

Imagine if they took into account spoons and bottom 4 finishes? (And I think they should be taken into account).
