Carlton/Essendon with 16 premierships or Collingwood with 14 premierships... oh, during one time it had the most flags than anyone else?

Overall, you couldn't call Collingwood the most successful club - 1 flag win in 47 years dosn't warrant such a rating. Perhaps they were the most successful club in the 1900-1950 era, but overall they have been no where near as consistant as Carlton and Essendon when it comes to premiership success.

I'd say it's relativley even between all three, all things considered.

And lets not even ask the question where Carlton and Essendon would be now if they had gone through the drought we did, would'nt have 2 supporters to rub together, this is also the mystique of Collingwood and why they are considered the greatest

Overall, meaning from the start to the present.
I think there's some sort of stat that Essendon have had only 2 decades when they have NOT won a flag. (30's and 70's). Consistent performance at the top is a good indicator.
I think Carlton have a similar stat.
Collingwood certainly don't. Their success has been compressed into a couple of eras.
Notwithstanding that, I'm not into bagging other clubs on such a frivolous level as this. There's far better reasons for bagging them.

Forgive me father.. but Collingwood have a record amount of GF appearances, and although it's not the ultimate success, they've been there abouts more than anyone else I'd say.

1st club to reach 1000 wins, still have the most wins, most finals wins, most finals appearances, 4 premierships in a row, longest period at head of the premiership tabel, most supporters, most talked and written about, most famous etc etc.... just a matter of time til we have the most premierships again, we are like Man U, there are waves, cycles of success and lows, just a matter of time

Here is a very simple fact, Collingwood headed the premiership table for two thirds of the history of football, it will take another club 100 years or more to match that longterm domination. For 60 to 70 years of our 100+ year competition we were the benchmark, that is our heritage, that is why we are the greatest

I hate to state the obvious but it is a fact, you can argue it is irrelevant, but the numbers dont lie. I originally posted this to explain the mystique of Collingwood, why it is so hated and loved, why it is considered the most famous club, why the media refers to us as Australia's greatest club. We are talking generational memory here, and I think it goes a long way to explaining the seeming contradiction.
it's all about C-O-L-L-I-N-G-W-O-O-D!!
Carlton and Essendon due to the fact they have had more success and are a more consistent set of teams and Collingwood third.
its all about " stick to the collingwood board."...
