I'm not particularly interested in a dick measuring contest involving Footscray in the 1920's no, but it does make me laugh reading you say it doesn't count followed by "Est 1869"
"Est 1869" is referring to the club I support, not the league that it currently plays in. It is obvious to anyone else that the only relevant flags are the one's won in the comp that the team currently plays in (in this case, the top tier comp [VFL/AFL]).

You don't hear Man United fans talking about their division 2 championships.

The VFA was the only comp North, Footscray and Hawthorn played in between 1897 and 1924. And there is an argument to suggest the VFA was superior to the VFL.

Fun fact, Footscray are going for a premiership hat-trick on the weekend, having won the VFA/VFL flags in 1923 & 1924

That's irrelevant (and Hawthorn joined the VFA in 1914). It was not the superior comp, hence all 3 clubs were trying to get into the VFL. You realise that the AFL records are all that matter right? VFL/AFL flags only.

Well technically it's the club's reserves team that is playing in the upcoming GF. The 1923/24 premiers were the senior team.
 
to sum up


no doggies supporter agrees with you that Hahn is a better forward than Murphy

no supporter agrees with you that Matthew Campbell is a better forward/player than Lindsay Thomas

Pretty critical qualifying statements on those. Hahn > Murphy as a forward, Campbell > Thomas as a crumber and under pressure

Can Drew stand up again on Friday? Surely lightning couldn't strike twice.
Already sunk the druggies kicking the sealers on the AA fb, then had 8 scoring shots against the Cats. LT has kicked 3 goals in both finals doubling Matt "better than Lindsay" Campbell's record as well. Lol

All true, hopefully they bring it again for you on Friday

Thoughts on the rising star, AFL players MVP & Brownlow?
I rate the AFLPA MVP = Big honour.
The rising star is a mini joke but the right player won it this year. The brownlow is the umpires pet award, you can tell who will win it all or most of the star mids are out for big amounts of time
