What AFL record will stand forever?

[Hawthorn United]

Hawthorns 7 consecutive Grand Finals from 1983-1989 would be impossible to beat I'd think.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I did say AFL - not AFL/VFL

Same thing numb nuts.

 

[Scotland]

9 posters in a game is looking shaky with 7 to 3QT in the Pies/Blues game...

 

[Brissy Bomber]

Richmond. First team to lose to the mighty Gold Coast up in FNQ!

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Zero University premierships.

The only possible one. All others can be beaten with time!

Also, Port to lose to two consecutive first year sides would be my next tip ahah

Zero University premierships. The only possible one. All others can be beaten with time!

Well Brisbane Bears never won a premiership either and they aint coming back.

 

[wobblypunt]

What about Neon Leon's 70+ consecutive kick-ins without a turnover? Not sure if there are any records kept of this but it is just nearly unbelievable that he hasn't turned the ball over over in a game where forward pressure and zoning is higher than ever from kick-ins!!!

 

[Geelong2k9]

Hawthorns 9 consecutive Grand Finals from 1983-1989 would be impossible to beat I'd think.

7 consecutive.....7.......not 9, but 7......

 

[Call Me Cake]

West Coast is the last team ever to finish last in a 16 team competition.

 

[Chief Ten Beers]

Well Brisbane Bears never won a premiership either and they aint coming back.

Well if you want to be technical it was a merger, not a complete drop out like Uni.

There's always Freo though....

 

[Ron The Bear]

7 consecutive.....7.......not 9, but 7......

And Melbourne equalled that, 1954-60.

 

[joeyavalanche]

tucky's games record

 

[Dangas]

Not really a record, Lewis Jetta 19 behinds before a goal

 

[sainter12riewoldt]

collingwoods 4 flags has an * next to it.
didnt they lose but got to challenge the winner to another GF, so technically didnt win 4 in a row

 

[sainter12riewoldt]

Incorrect - the Dogs joined the VFL/AFL many years after the Saints that were a foundation member in 1897, so therefore St Kilda has been in the AFL the most years with only one flag, even if it was more recent than the Dog's flag.

Who knows, the way they're going maybe Port can challenge it one day?

pretty sure saints and dogs joined the AFL 1990.

 

[sainter12riewoldt]

I think the only bigger stadiums than the MCG in the world are College American Football ones and this ridiculous one in North Korea so once it sells out only the BCS game in College American Football could challenge it.

i think there is one in brazil that holds 200K

 

[Roby]

i think there is one in brazil that holds 200K

The Macarana, and yes it used to once hold that. Now it only holds 85,000. The 1950 World Cup Final had 200,000 watch Uruguay beat host country Brazil.

Jock McHale

Collingwood player from 1903 - 1920 261 games Captain 1912/13 premiership player 1910 1917

Collingwood coach from 1912 -49 714 matches for 8 premierships.

 

[SJ]

The no Hawthorn/Richmond Final is quite remarkable.

239 by Geelong looks safe I reckon, games are a few minutes shorter than they were back when it was 25 minute quarters with less time on. I think it was Billy Brownless that kicked the score that beat the previous record in the last minute of that game against the Bears in 1992.

Although Geelong themselves did give it a bit of a shake against Richmond at the Dome a few years back.

Looked a little vulnerable at about 4:35 yesterday.

 

[Teffy]

Longest break between games.

Syd Barker: 13 years 12 days, 27-6-1908 to 9-7-1921

A record that will NEVER be broken.

 

[Alberton_Magpie]

Longest break between games.

Syd Barker (NM): 13 years 12 days, 27-6-1908 to 9-7-1921

A record that will NEVER be broken.

that would be a VFA record

 

[Teffy]

that would be a VFA record

Nope. In 1908 he played 1 of 2 games with Richmond and in 1921 he played with Essendon after being poached from North under the bogus merger agreement. He then went on to Captain Coach Essendons back to back 1923-1924 premiership sides before returning to North.

In between that time he played in the North VFA triple premiership winning "invincible" sides that won 58 games on the trot.

If I had a cent for every aints fan who has whined about that particular thing I would be a billionaire
What about Sydney then?
And the Crows?
How about Brisbane?
Weagles?
They all have premierships virtually handed to them by the AFL - do you think those should have asterix beside them?

Flog

now cmon jonbe - the aints have won countless moral premierships lately, and are proud to show them in their premiership cabinets.

what makes a moral premiership is anyones guess - depending on the loose interpretation of what moral means i guess.

bit like the spanish inquisition with the aints - "we are in the right cos its gods way"

85000 people doing a naff dance to a dud piece of 90s techno ?
