If Port win a flag before Adelaide making it 2 flags a piece, it'll make Port the more successful of the two clubs in the AFL. Port lead head to head between the two and have a better overall win percentage.

West Coast play heaps of twilight fixtures and they're a financial powerhouse.

I'm surprised to see more people hate Port Adelaide than they do Adelaide. Is it because of David Koch?

Hawthorn's win rate since the start of 2007 is now 60.42%, while Collingwood's is 60.31% and Sydney's is 59.69%. Amazing to think Hawthorn have won 4 flags in that time while Collingwood and Sydney have only won 1 flag each.

So far Carlton's 5 year plan under Michael Voss is tracking similar to Richmond's 5 year plan under Terry Wallace. Since Richmond have got it together and become good again does this make Carlton the new Richmond? Or are Essendon the new Richmond?

Everyone said Carlton were going to bolt from mid table to top 4 this year but instead they're bolting towards the bottom 4. Maybe these people were right all along and they merely had their crystal balls upside down.

Why are Port Adelaide struggling financially despite financial guru David Koch having been president since 2012? I don't get it. Collingwood were in a horrible position financially when Eddie McGuire arrived, yet within a decade the club became a financial powerhouse. We were told the reason...

Slightly off topic but I think we're due for a new logo. We've had the current ones for nearly two decades and they're starting to look dated.

West Coast regularly beat Brisbane during the Lions 2001-04 era, so using Richmond logic that means West Coast's 2006 premiership team was a stronger team than the 2001-04 Lions. I've never seen anyone try and argue that West Coast 2006 was a stronger team though.

We don't get to play finals at Kardinia Park though, yet we've made 10 grand finals in the last 35 years and won four flags. You only have to look at recent years when we've been an average team (2012, 2015, 2018) to see our home ground advantage alone doesn't help us finish top 4. During those...

I can't believe people rate Richmond 2017-20 higher than Hawthorn 2012-15, just because Richmond beat Hawthorn multiple times from 2012-15. Carlton beat us multiple times from 2007-2011 and were a kick on the siren away from beating us in 2011, does that mean Carlton were a better team than us?

I heard this yesterday and thought it couldn't possibly be true given how often clubs sack coaches. I looked it up and saw we've only had four coaches since we sacked John Devine in 1988. Malcolm Blight, Gary Ayres and Mark Thompson all resigned as coach. None of them were sacked and given how...

Saying Gary Jr is remembered as a Sun is like saying Gary Sr is remembered as a Hawk. No one thinks of Gold Coast or Hawthorn when they hear the name Gary Ablett. They always think of Geelong first and foremost.

How many Tambling over Franklin threads have been made over the years? Heaps.

I've finally found the win percentages of each club from 2007-2022 and while we all know there's a big gap between our win rate and the next best, it's interesting to see how close the win rates of Hawthorn, Sydney and Collingwood are, with a big gap to the rest after that. Geelong - 73.58%...

Do you really think Geelong sides with the likes of Josh Cowan, Billie Smedts, Darcy Lang, George Horlin-Smith, Jordan Murdoch and James Parsons in our best 22 were premiership calibre sides? 🤣

Collingwood supporter wearing a Carlton guernsey and cheering the Blues on? That's like a Geelong supporter wearing a Hawthorn guernsey and cheering for the Hawks. 🤢 I didn't realise the Collingwood hatred for Carlton had fallen this far. Would you wear an Essendon guernsey and cheer on the...

I'd like to see how the likes of A Cut Above and Lethality spin this as a positive for Hawthorn.

I wonder what our overall win rate was in 1986 and how much it's increased since then. Surely there's a website somewhere that has historical win percentages and all time ladders.

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, given the fact we lost multiple finals to both Richmond and Hawthorn over the last decade and a half. The difference is Hawthorn were around the top end of the ladder while our side was at its peak and they beat us in finals, while Richmond were nowhere...

They just can't accept the fact no one respects their club as football supporters see Richmond being akin to a special needs person who finally managed to achieve something after being a joke for so many years. Hawthorn might be our biggest rival and most hated club but they're widely respected...

Has to be Matthew Egan. Broke his foot and never played again. At least Menegola will get his chance this year and others mentioned eg Menzel got the opportunity to play again and have another chance at becoming premiership players.

I said for years we'd never win a premiership with Rhys Stanley in our side as number 1 ruck. I know many people had the same opinion and I'm so happy Rhys proved his doubters wrong.

Has to be 2011 because we beat Collingwood and I still remember their arrogance from the previous 12 months like it was yesterday, not to mention the fact they smashed us 12 months earlier which was followed by us losing our coach and our best player.

Richmond and Gold Coast have the makings of a rivalry. They've played several classics against each other and seem to be middle of the road teams on a similar level to each other.

Richmond are trying to do a reverse Tyson Stengle with Quinton Narkle. I still can't believe Richmond let Stengle go. Yes he had issues at Adelaide but the culture of that club is toxic and rotten to the core, and I believe the culture at Richmond would have been good enough to keep Stengle on...

Will this blunder set the Crows back in their rebuild? The last time I can remember a club doing well after such a huge blunder is Hawthorn who did alright after selecting Mitch Thorp before Joel Selwood in 2006, but that was a rare exception plus the draft system was far different back then to...

Prestia is good but he's no superstar. He's a solid B grade midfielder who runs both ways similar to Atkins for us. Bolton is a star and I'm kinda spewing we overlooked him in the draft but I'm happy with Parfitt who we ended up drafting instead. I'm glad we missed out on Hopper as it's a bullet...

Amazing how Selwood has a higher win rate than Tuck given Tuck played in 7 flags as opposed to Selwood's 4 flags.
