Jun 9, 2016 - AFL Commission accepts all clubs can acknowledge their success from outside the VFL-AFL competition. PORT Adelaide can now claim it is Australian football's most-successful club with 37 flags - with AFL approval.

Geez you know nothing, and just crap on and on lol
Why did they rename VFL to AFL.. Because "all that occurred was a rename" Oh right
Let me tell you ...
It's hard to believe but professional football in Victoria nearly collapsed in 1986.
With seven clubs on their financial knees - Fitzroy, Geelong, Footscray, Collingwood, Melbourne, North Melbourne and Richmond - the league was in dire straits.
Gordon Lewis had been commissioner for corporate affairs for only a couple of months when he penned an ultimatum to VFL commissioners.
"Of the 11 Victorian Club companies it appears that seven of them are technically insolvent. These clubs are Fitzroy, Geelong, Footscray, Collingwood, Melbourne, North Melbourne and Richmond," he wrote on August 8, 1986.
In the explosive letter, Mr Lewis said he had met with the league's finance director and "during the course of that discussion it was represented to me that Fitzroy, North Melbourne, St Kilda and Melbourne clubs would seek to merge with either one another or some other club companies".
Graeme Samuel, then a VFL commissioner, said it was dark days for footy.
"The total competition had net assets of about $4 million including Waverley Park – half of the clubs were bankrupt on any analysis," he said.
Saving football: New documents reveal how close the VFL came to shutting down
In 1986, the Victorian Football League came perilously close to being shut down. Thirty years on, never before seen documents reveal how close the end nearly came.
Now read the article ... you might learn something,
So all it was was a rename ... Oh right
I don't begrudge Richmond winning Premierships. Look who your coach is ... A port Adelaide Premiership player.

They tuned in to the worst game of the season which no doubt bored them to tears (like every other neutral) and most of them will probably never watch football again.

What do you mean, they're all Richmond supporters, thats the point of the thread, 5 million happy Chinese Tigers all gathered around their tv's riding the tiggie train to victory.
Apparently the streets of Shanghai were painted Yellow and Black.
Tigers = winning

Lol of course you can acknowledge them, as SANFL flags won by your affiliate Port Adelaide Magpies but they're still not AFL flags only VFL and AFL flags can be counted in this comps flag count, but your welcome to stick 30+ cups somewhere to acknowledge your history if it makes you feel better.
So we can all agree, you still only have 1 flag in this competition and we have 12 + 5 million Chinese fanatics, all aboard, toot toot.

Yep, sure, no prob.
Just checked the AFL flag winners list you'll find power near the bottom with 1, Richmond with 12, sorry still no mention of Port Adelaides country flags but hey you go ahead and count them.
Don't know what list you looked at.
Here is the Official AFL Premiership-winners list. But look.... They have included VFL Premierships as well.
They still think its a Victorian Competition only. And no other leagues count.
Which goes against what the AFL Commission said re Port Adelaide. But that's typical of Victorian crap.

The AFL and VFL are the same competition if you understood more than just melting in every post you would realise a name change in business is just that, a name change, same competition with a couple of new franchises added.Don't know what list you looked at.

Thats why a VFL flag is equal to a AFL flag, while your minor comp flags are good for arse wipe only.
If you understood what was agreed to it is that you can recognise your past flags how you want but they are not VFL/AFL flags.
They had to have a name change lol. The VFL were broke
See you never commented re my post.. #28 Did you even read it ... ???

Hey Smiffy, honest question.
Are you an elaborate troll or are you really as dumb as you come across?
If you are a troll, you’re doing a sterling job.
If not, l feel sorry for you.
