Poor Colin Carter, doesn't even know when the league was started, and has confused a sport with a league.

Yes, and 7 premierships between 1870-1896, giving us a total of.........17!
Don't forget the 3 preseason and night premierships! It's 20!

And backyard premierships! Gotta be hunnerds ov em!

Sadly for Geelong it's a matter of record that Peter Daicos won 1072 indoor sock football premierships in the period 1970-1977.

He was a Swans fan at the time but by inexorable logic these flags accrue to Collingwood because the Commission has to decide ...when the competition started...nurse? Are you there?

VFA post-1897 is no longer the premiere competition - they are reserve grade nothings. There's a wonderful book by Colin Carter that discusses this topic in depth.

17 > 13. Goodnight. 🛌
Only a Geelong supporter would write a book desperately claiming flags from a totally different competition while also stating no other clubs flags from non VFL/AFL competitions should count not even other flags won in the VFA, the Cats reek of desperation... and meth.

How about you stop clogging the finals with near misses and actually go and win the flags you need to gain some respect, instead of begging for it to be given to you, 10 flags in 125 years would be funny if it wasn't so embarrassing, no its actually funny as well.

“When we talk about how many premierships we have won, it is 10,” Swans’ CEO Tom Harley said.

Harley said they categorise them under each era: five VFA, three VFL [and] two AFL premierships, but the cups are displayed together in the foyer of the club’s headquarters while the 10 flags hang in the rooms.
Carter, who finished his 10-year tenure as Geelong president at the end of 2020, told The Age and the Herald he was rapt to hear that the Sydney Swans were recognising their South Melbourne history in such a tangible way.

“I think what Sydney has done is terrific,” Carter said.

Harley said it follows logic to recognise the flags in such a way as the club celebrates their 150th anniversary with South Melbourne beginning in 1874. They moved to Sydney in 1982.
Carlton leads the tally with 22, Essendon 20, Geelong and Collingwood 17 apiece, Melbourne 16, Richmond 13, Hawthorn 13 with South Melbourne/Sydney eighth on the table with 10 flags.
Oh Col, you've done it again!
