1. 1997 Preliminary Final - Adelaide Vs Western Bulldogs
2. 1997 Grand Final - Adelaide Vs St Kilda
3. 2009 Grand Final - Geelong Vs St Kilda
4. 1999 Preliminary final - Carlton Vs Essendon
5. 2018 Grand Final - West Coast Vs Collingwood
Other than a Tom Morris media interview, can anything stop this juggernaut of a club? The competition has surely been put on notice after the brutality of this performance against the All Stars of the west. Discuss
Geelong's 44 year Premiership drought is one of the most famous in VFL/AFL history, but few people ever bring up our other Premiership drought from 1897-1925.
During this time, we were the last of the 8 foundation clubs to make a Grand Final and the second last to win a Premiership. Even...
For me, it's a toss up between Hawthorn and Richmond.
Both have caused us an enormous amount of Finals pain over the years.
They both also have ultra pig headed supporter bases, who tend to look down on Geelong as being soft/mentally weak/handbaggers etc.
There is also this notion that...
St Kilda seems to be forever copping it for only winning 1 flag in their history.
The Bulldogs for their overall lack of success and premierships.
Freo for never winning anything.
Geelong (prior to 2007) for their long premiership drought and continued failures.
Melbourne (prior to 2021) for...
There is a clear lack of diversity on tonight's telecast, as well as a dearth of identifiable role models for me to aspire to (both on and off the field).
I am offended and someone has to do something about it
I was watching the last quarter of the '63 Grand Final earlier, where in the comments, someone was lamenting this frustrating era for Geelong, where they could only manage 1 flag from 8 successive finals appearances (1962-1969).
In some ways, you could argue that this era was not too...
Carlton 11
Collingwood 10
Essendon 12
Fitzroy 1
Geelong 10
Hawthorn 13
Melbourne 12
North Melbourne 4
Richmond 11
St Kilda 1
South Melbourne / Sydney 3
Bulldogs 2
A few notable points.
Fitzroy incredibly won 7 of their 8 premierships prior to this period, and only 1 (1944) in their last 74...
Let's all spare a thought for all the poor Richmond people, who had to take the long and arduous journey across the city today.
Let's just hope they don't get belted by too much. The AFL has already put the entire organisation through absolute hell, forcing them to hitchhike from their...
Despite their vastly improved form in recent weeks, surely, no reasonable person would believe that The Eagles have a chance in hell of beating Freo this Saturday night.
Unless North somehow win beforehand (something which they haven't achieved in four months or so), a win would all but...
It is now well over six decades since the Magpies last achieved September glory. An astonishing and humbling statistic for the biggest football club in the land.
And with the dream of that elusive 16th premiership in 2023 quickly becoming a delusion, I am starting to feel some genuine sympathy...
We've been hearing it for months on end. How this Collingwood team are absolute shoe-ins for the Premiership this year. But, are they?
Here is a list of some of the other minor premiers this century, whom I would argue were all at least as good as this Collingwood side. Yet, they were all...
I have always been strangely interested in this topic for some reason.
We all know the obvious ones like Selwood, Hawkins, Ablett Jr, Ling and Dangerfield (and many other Cats ones past and present), but what are some others you know of, which are less well known?
Here are a few which come to...
I'LL START..
1. CARLTON - BUNCH OF LOUD MOUTH, COCKY AND SLIMY CHEATS. STRONG EVIDENCE THEY WERE PASSING AROUND BROWN PAPER BAGS LONG BEFORE 2001, AND STOLE THE '95 FLAG FROM US. OWNERS OF THE WORST JUMPER IN THE LEAGUE AFTER GOLD COAST, AND ONE OF THE MOST IRRITATING SONGS.. AT THE END OF THE...
Heard this guy ripped it up against the Bulldogs yesterday… Is anyone else surprised we didn’t go after him in the off season? Not quick, but could have really added some grunt to the midfield for a couple of years (especially with Caddy going out)… Would have been cheap as chips and was also a...
I was cleaning out the cupboard and found 3 Select AFL Footy sticker albums from 1995, 1996 and 2000. All are complete with a full set of stickers and in VGC. I also have the 1992 and 1993 albums somewhere...
Haven't seen these on Ebay or anywhere.. Could they be worth something to a collector...

Long time lurker and very occasional poster here...
Sorry if this has been done before, but, I have always been interested in which current/former AFL players supported the Cats before they were drafted... I know quite a few but would like to learn of others..
The ones I know of are:
Joel...
I am confident that the Cats will get up and make their 4th successive Grand Final but if we do happen to lose to Collingwood next weekend who would you want to win in a Saints vs Collingwood Grand Final? (Yes we all know the Dogs won't win)
For me I would be barracking for the Pies. They play...
Ok they are by no means identical but look at the similarities..
Both teams had been threatening for a number of years previously
The year before both teams had heart breaking semi final losses
Both teams were expected the challenge for the flag the following year
Both came into the season...
I'm not sure if this has been done before but I have always been somewhat interested in this. Apart from a few handfuls of players, I know very little about which clubs the players of today supported as kids. I believe a couple of the official club sites used to say this under each players...
More like which ruckman priced $94,200 will be the best bet to go for?
John Meesen?
James Sellar?
Jordan Roughhead?
Jackson Trengrove?
Or someone else?
I have Seller down atm.
Thanks
Hey just wondering if anyone knows if these guys are carrying injuries as their prices seem a little on the cheap side.
