Best team not to win the flag in the last 25 years?

What's all this crap about North Melbourne '98?

They weren't that impressive a minor premier at 16-6 117.43%. Mediocre for a minor primier in anyones books.
Adelaide who won from %th had a superior % than the Roos.
Not anywhere in the league of other teams mentioned like Geel '08, St Kilda '09, Coll '11, WCE '91.

Geelong 2008 by far.

It can't be that hard to decide. You just have to filter through the teams that haven't won the flag in the last 25 years...

St Kilda 2003 and 2004, even 2005. Fremantle last year as well was very good.

I would have to say the most obvious choice is Essendon 2001. Had they played it right, they would have won 3 in a row '99, '00 & '01.

GWS 2013?

Well that's just silly. They won 1 game? Maybe 2? Port on the other hand will have a huge % probs only lose 2-4 games, won't win flag.
