What are your thoughts?
I was surprised to learn St Kilda have a higher win percentage than Brisbane and Richmond, given the Saints haven't won any premierships while the Lions have won four and Tigers have won three.
Also surprised to learn Port Adelaide and West Coast have near identical win percentages, given the Eagles have won four premierships while Port have won one premiership.

Lions 12th most wins, =1st for Grand Final wins.

Tigers 14th most wins, standalone 5th for Grand Final wins

We will bridge the gap over the next couple of seasons and become the best in the AFL era at converting wins into Grand Final wins.

In 30 years.

The more years Richmond avoid finals, the more they will protect those stats.

Amazed this was started by a Geelong supporter.

Swans doing pretty well considering the AFL era included the early 90's where we were Richmond levels of bad.

Hawks are stand alone first for GF wins. That is the only stat that counts.

I expected us to be bottom 4. Had a rough run from 2005-2018

Port stands out there, the AFL has given them nothing. Great character to front up and face the #VICBIAS. Port and Freo would be the AFL's lowest priority but Alberton doesn't let it get them down.

West Coast pretty good effort too, like us a well-resourced club so you expect them to present regularly, which they do despite the nightmare travel.

Geelong has had two brilliant coaches in this period, Blight and Scott (as well as the tarnished years under Bomber "garage full of drugs" Thompson). I think even disallowing the Dank era Geelong is in their best ever epoch, don't get much help from the league but make it count. Blight made footy interesting again (actually twice, those Crows were lunatics).

Hawks have intelligently made the system work for them. Most clubs are lucky to have one dominant era, Hawks have had two since 1983 and it wasn't luck. I'd say they are as efficient as Port, and better resourced.

Geelong comfortably club of the 21st century so far. Then Hawthorn and Brisbane.

It's a battle between the likes of Richmond, Collingwood, Sydney and West Coast for 4th. A 3 flag dynasty without contending otherwise, vs 2 flags and some losing grand finals and other contending years.

 

[rapidfire7]

My thoughts are that Geelong ought to have at least 1 more flag to better reflect their dominance. Let's hope it's this year .

Port just thought their regional dominance would translate to capital city

I’m not suprised at all. Brisbane and Richmond spent a lot of time on the bottom part of the ladder in the AFL era, whereas St Kilda spent more time in the higher and middle parts of the ladder. They just don’t have much to show for it.

None of it surprises me personally (expect probably that I thought Bulldogs would be higher), but I can see why some people are surprised.
