Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? - Part 2

Starting 1990?

Definitely.

Of course I think that means Sydney would be on -1 flags but I will accept that

Literally thought of this 1 minute ago but I think every time a club gets a wooden spoon they get a flag removed from their tally.

So say West Coast has two flags, but if they get a spoon then while those flags are not gone, they can no longer say "we have won two premierships" and are now only allowed to say they have won one premiership.

Also a club like St Kilda will need to win quite a few flags before they are allowed to say they even won one.

what does winning one season have to do with losing another? why should an accomplishment from say 1989 have anything to do with a bad season from 2011?

Id be careful. Carlton won 3 Coleman's in a row with 2 players and it didn't help

Yeah but.... Ya know.... Carlton.

I think you're giving oxygen to where it is not required.
