Proposal to include premierships dating back to 1870 gathering pace

Oh you're completely right. But this isn't even the biggest objection. Ol' Col wants to count flags for years where the Association awarded no premiership, but for which some drunken journo yobs decided, long after the fact, to award some.

So hes counting non flags as flags, and real flags as void.

The man's reasoning is less sound than Gills integrity.

Imagine if Robbo got to decide this year's premier

Imagine if “journos” decided who would win the Norm Smith medal each year.
Oh, wait…

FMD if it was Cornes and Hoyne last year Pies would have been out in straight sets, Melbourne premiers.

? Carter just wants to restore football history, nothing more.

It is still there in football history. No one is saying it is or should be erased or needs to be restored. It is recognised for what it was, a colonial time competition. It just can’t possibly be counted in the AFL premierships tally. It was a completey different competition, with completely different formats, not just a name change like 1989-1990. Sorry this is flawed argument.

Literally what difference does it make? It doesn’t change who won anything. Does it mean that you have to clap for longer for Geelong or Sydney? Do you have to doff your hat to their supporters?

It literally doesn’t change anything. This doesn’t matter. Go outside, have a look at some trees or something

I ain’t reading this thread, but happy to accept the 51 Fremantle/South Fremantle/East Fremantle WAFL premierships into the AFL record books.
