Backfire Which AFL team are the biggest chokers of the 21st century

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Following the Mighty Flagpies superb rope-a-dope and comeback on Sunday there has been a lot of chat about the biggest comebacks this century (graphic courtesy of the First Crack)



But this is the Bay and we don't care about winners just pissing on losers, so let's talk about who the biggest chokers are

We've all seen lolnorf doing lolnorf things so often it barely riases an eyebrow but to be fair, Essendong were the minor premiers in 2001, and this year they capitulated against the reigning premiers on gtheir way to B2B, so two tough assignments with lolnorf missing finals by a mile both seasons

Likewise the Aints missed finals while the Welfare made them in 2015

However if you look at geelol's efforts, while they were up against aother minor (and major) premier in 2006, the choke was at their misshapen cheat ground and in 2013 they choked against the lolions who finished 12th while the pussycats finished the H&A season in 2nd

So, I think on balance you have to give the 21st century chokers award to the Handbaggers

Nobody wobbles better than Wobblewood.

You wanted to make a thread about chokers, but had to set the parameters so that nobody would mention Collingwood, not understanding that when anyone read that thread title they immediately thought Collingwood.

 

[Seethus]

My favourite part is, you made this thread with Geelong still in your head rent free. 2011 was a MASSIVE choke too. Cry some more

1970
1979
1981

Bro, you were up 31 to 2 in a Grand Final and LOST.

No one cares about regular season wins and losses.
That's why that graphic by first crack was embarrassing.

Imagine crowing after being over 50 points down to a 1 win team.

 

[Bont2Bruce]

For someone who loves to wank over the history of last century, how convenient that when it comes to the history of choking you only care about the 21st century.

Massive hypocrisy from a massive flog.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I would say Geelong in finals.

 

[Tyler Durden007]

The exact second the Centrelink's choked and blew it all...

 

[jannissary]

aside from the wobbles, the bummers choke a lot

 

[AvantGardener]

Backfire tag pls zackah

This fred not going how OP planned

BIG RED! Never forget Cry McCry refusing to give the clear BoG in Gary 'REDEEMED' Rohan the 5 votes when every single person watching saw him give the Wobble defenders one of the all-time spankings.



Pendlebury 34 nothing touches and 1 inside 50 was the crying one's BoG. Silly flog.

You’ve lost 5 AFL GFs including 3 in 4 years, and are in 40% of the biggest chokes this century

You lost a final to Fremantle at your cheat ground

Greatest team of all

For someone who loves to wank over the history of last century…

Care to give even 1 example?

Its literally in your signature

 

[zackah]

fair point all first reply was probably worthy enough

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Hooked 4 GeeLOL minnows so hardly

3 GF losses in 4 years… 4 in 6 counting 1989… There’s a reason they earned the nickname Handbaggers

Do you all just pretend the 90s didn’t happen?

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

1970
1979
1981

Carlton flog still living in last century, shocked to be standing here

Nice melt chiropodist girl.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

What is it now, 10,500 days?

Nice melt chiropodist girl.

Fred title clearly says 21st century If you only want to count GFs, Swines have lost 4 as well

Leaving aside the Fred title, feel free to explain how 1970, 1979, 1981 is somehow worse than 1989, 1992, 1993, 1995

I’ll take 2-4 vs 5 wooden spoons any day
