Yeah it’s like … the meaning of the word.
In 2007 , magpies were 13 wins 9 losses, in 6th position = contending .
Is that a joke? Thoughts Robertio - is he taking the piss or what!
I like that 2 teams can lose a Prelim Final and one can be a contender and the other not be. Something you have never manager to explain other than I don't think they could win.
I guess in your world a non Contender could beat a Contender in a Prelim final as well. See 1999 for the most obvious example of this.
In your world still being in Contention to win the GF does not make you a contender.

I think fadge is a contender, for the NAAA award
In 2007, the Magpies lost a Preliminary Final by 5 points to the team that won the Grand Final the following week by 119 points.
As I said, I know this concept of 'contending' is very foreign to you all, but you'll grasp the concept eventually. Maybe...
At what point did collingwood contend ?

If you can’t understand that - there’s zero hope.
But it’s a great insight into your posting over the years
So losing a final by 5 points made them a contender despite an average season up to them. Not sure how that makes sense as previously they wouldn't have been a contender.
Maybe you could produce a flow chart on how/when a team becomes a contender.
I think you're actually getting there with this.
Take 2024 Hawthorn for example.
They could win the next 11 games and win the premiership, or win through to a close Grand Final loss, or close Preliminary Final loss - at which time we can conclude they 'contended' for the premiership.
But that is not likely to happen, so the most likely outcome will be that they won't contend for the premiership.
No no, use 2007 collingwood as the example please

He’s a Major Contender!
( Ps I wonder why they use a word like “major”)?
Pretty sure we covered that in year 5 - let’s try again below;
Dictionary
Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more
noun
- a person or group competing with others to achieve something.
"the major contenders in the football championship"
I think what we are looking for is not a a list, but the methodology and the milestones that need to be achieved to qualify a team as a contender so we can understand your illogical take on this
So as soon as Hawks lose they BECOME a contender .
Jesus can I have what you're smoking please
I've got an even better scenario for you...
In 2023 there were three teams who contended for the premiership:
Collingwood
Brisbane
GWS (very narrow/unlucky Preliminary Final loss to the eventual Premiers).
The other team that was closest to being considered a premiership contender was............
MELBOURNE.
Melbourne finished top 4, and had a home Qualifying Final against Collingwood. A win would have set them up with a week's break, and a home Preliminary Final against GWS. Unfortunately, a narrow Qualifying Final loss meant they failed to get to the point of contending, as the road back was a bridge too far.
