Out of the last 15 years only two non Victorian teams have won the premiership
Why are the Melbourne based teams so much more dominant?
How do we help/fix the interstate teams?
Why cherry pick 15 years as the base case? Oh that’s right, so you can ignore the dominance of west coast Adelaide and Brisbane in the 15 years prior to that.
Next week a team chasing its second premiership since 1954 will be playing a team chasing its first since 1964. Obviously they havent benefitted too much over the years from being a Victorian team….
It’s swings and roundabouts but pro rata West Coast Brisbane and Sydney have been just as successful over the years of a full national competition as most of the Melbourne clubs. The Suns and GWS are still new clubs finding their feet. Fremantle are way overdue but did play in a GF recently.
So the question really seems to be, why are the South Australian clubs so bad.
