Which club has choked the most?

[Mr Brown]

Can anyone out there in BigFooty Stats land tell me which club has suffered defeat after leading by 5+ goals at some point during the match? Am curious to find out whether some have shown to choke on a lead more than others

I think it might be more meaningful to limit it to a certain time period, given that most players don't stay around for more than 15 years. For example, the stats above show that Collingwood have a reasonable history of choking... last century.

Also, would you consider finals more significant for choking purposes?
