We always speak about the best, Brisbane, Hawthorn, Geelong, but never the worst? Vote below on your worst ‘era’ this century. Won’t include the expansion sides.
Carlton (2002-ongoing)

- Seven Bottom 4 finishes (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2015, 2017)
- 37% winning record since 2000. 153/410 wins (not including finals)
- Salary cap breaching.

Brisbane Lions (2010-ongoing)
- Crazy Vossy and Brendan Fevola
- Six (soon to be seven) bottom 4 finishes (2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and probably 2018)
- Reigning Wooden Spooners.
- 27% Win/loss ratio 52/138.
Melbourne (2007-ongoing)
- Back to back Wooden Spooners 2007, 2008.
- Melbourne 2008 join University 1913, North Melbourne 1931, St. Kilda 1898, 1948, 1985 and Hawthorn 1950 as the only seven pathetic sides to be last every single round of the home and away season they won the spoon.
- Tanking
- 186 point loss to Geelong in 2011.
- Sent emails and letters to their members explaining how to buy Melbourne finals tickets...and they didn’t make the finals...
Richmond (2002-2016)
- No finals wins.
- Only team in history to get historically laughed at for finishing 9th all the time and then losing to 9th place in their first final in 12 years.
- Two wooden spoons (2004,2007)
- Drafted Richard Tambling ahead of Buddy Franklin.
- Celebrated over the top against a team that actually wanted to lose.
- Six Bottom 4 finishes (2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009, 2010)
- Also got smashed by Geelong.
