Ignorant PostPoorly disguised plea for BF to talk about the premiers.
He has been given heaps of shiit by Richmond supporters - whenever he quotes Collingwood premierships won going right back - particularly the 4 in a row
Tiger supporters immediately come on and say - they are irrelevant - because they are so long ago - and you have only won a few premierships in so many years or whatever
To answer the thread title question - i also think 1990 is a reasonable starting point - AFL - Eagles and Crows come in - and if you look at 1989 well thats when Footscray nearly went broke - and in the 70s and 80s - they sold Bernie Quinlan Denis Collins Ian Dunstan Gary Dempsey Allan Stoneham - just to pay the bills and keep the doors open - well there is nothing modern and fair about that
