- prove it's the oldest please.Oldest sporting club in South Australia
Most successful club in Australia
6 Premierships in a row (Australian record)
Proudest club in Australia. (yes thats right)
umm correct me if im wrong, but wasnt collingwoods unbeaten season during or just after the war, where the league was in shambles? Essendon's 2000 season was at a time when the sport was more competitive and professional, which means it was a much greater achievment. End of story
what about AdelaideNo wooden spoons... because every other club has at least one.
Smallest Permiership drought out of all the club who haven't joined in the past 20 years. IIRC.
Lol, Vicco clubs trying to claim VFL flags with AFL ones.
what about Adelaide
(Port Adelaide had ones in 1886, 1896 and 1900 (Well, they count their premierships so I thought all seasons count))
The AFL count them too - So who is wrong on this one - The AFL or YOU?
No wooden spoons... because every other club has at least one.
Yet you still want to claim all of your VFL premierships before and after that point...
NMFC have the GOLD premiership cup from 1999,only 1 so far
Here is the problem with teams that have joined the league formally known as the VFL. They don't want to count premierships but they do want to count spoons. Either teams can claim their VFL history or they can't. Make up your mind. If they can't then Essendon haven't won a spoon either!
Yeah cos those blokes have never been wrong before....
Well if your so much better than the AFL get back to the WAFL. VFL flags count as much as AFL flags as the VFL was the premier Football competition. Why did players like Malcom Blight leave Adelaide to play for North Melbourne you think?
And to the guy who said the Gold cup was from 1999, you shame your club and your football knowledge by saying that.
He wouldn't displace Laurie "Twinkletoes" Dwyer, much less the great Keith Greig.
Come to think of it Robbie Flower was also a better wingman than Matera.
Believe it all you want....it aint trueThe only club to have won 16 Grand Finals.
That's in spite of the Essendon fans in this thread claiming the record of being the only club to have 16 flags.
Zero spoons up until 2002 was a proud record when we've been in the competiton since it first started.
Nothing last forever.
Building ourselves up from a working class and initially struggling club into arguably the most succesfull club in the VFL/AFL.
We're silvertails and Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon are working class clubs.
Carlton were the first club to appoint a specialist non-playing head coach in 1906 - The First Of Many.
I believe Carlton were initially refused permission to join the VFL when we were the most successfull VFA club with 7 premierships.
Three more than Essendon.
The following fact which I only discovered in the last three days.
