True, but technically the 1987 flag had the same teams as 1990. It was only that the AFL took a few years to change the name of the competition.

Yeah but whatabout your whataboutism.

They won the first VFL premiership too, but still, WTF! We got to 16 first.

Plus they cheated to win in 93. We should be on 17, they should be on 15.

The reason they put the Drugcheats first was to show a change in the order. Blues go from second to first.
However, it is technically incorrect. Blues are equal first, not second

Why call to add VFA premierships to VFL/AFL flag tally would unfairly rewrite the history books

Some very reasonable points made in this piece.

Whatever way the VFA premierships we’re determined between 1870 to 1896 is irrelevant- the fact that the VFA was the premier football competition at the time and that premiership was the highest award that a football club could win is the most relevant point.

Correct. If they want to get into a discussion about how premierships were determined, let’s consider whether Essendon*’s 1897 and 1924 ‘flags’ should count under the criteria.

I was thinking pretty tough on Bolton - he sets us up for 6 flags in under 4 years and gets the chop.

Only thing I have in common with MM. Forget the rear view mirror an get on with the view through to windscreen.

The strongest advocate for this thing would be the AFL marketing department.

If the start of the timeline was to go back to 1870, then 2020 would be 150 years... must be something coming up next year that needs a distraction.

150 year celebrations 24 years after the 100th year seems exactly like the kind of mathematics the AFL would do.

This sort of discussion would not be happening if Rotten Ronny Evans was still around.


But he is not, is he.
