The only stat that matters is premierships.

And then the doctor said, 'Is the patient alive or dead?" and no further details were required.

An interesting stat:

Aside from GC Suns, we have the longest drought with regards to winning a final in back to back years. That occurred between 1987- 1991 and the drought cannot be rectified this year.

I believe Carlton is the next worst - 1999-2001.

I'd like to know statistically how many journeys and learnings we've had since our last finals campaign. And have we learnt enough to arrive this year.

We're not far off. I learned that the other day from Goody, again.

Opinion vs fact. I'll stick with facts. 66 years = zero.

Considering the amount of unforseen historical content the AFL has (clearance reports, reserves and Under 19s player information etc...) they could create an amazing historical resource like AFL Tables or AustralianFootball.com if they wanted to. Maybe they could sign up with Ancestry.com or similar to help deliver it.

I said this in the survey but I think they're more interested in whether to put show 50s higher in an earlier column than rebound 50s.

Bloody shame. If we had something as magic as Demonwiki for the whole of the history of the VFL, I reckon I’d just about retire now and spend my days reading old reports

I'm confused (regularly), so we won in 1964 + 66 yrs = let me check ... um carry the .... umm ..  credibility factor plus ??? = x..? Correct?

So knowing why doesn't alter the stats. 66 years still = zero.

The clue is "66 = zero", so why not any other number as well?

Also, if 66 = zero then clearly zero must equal sixty-six.  Ergo, We are in the same position 'time since premiership' as Richmond.

Seems about right.

Both clubs are "?" seasons from their next premiership.

australianfootball.com is an up and coming site, and if I wasn't so familiar with AFL Tables I'd almost prefer it.

If somebody went through and added match reports from newspapers to the games that would be fantastic, but speaking from experience it's a monster task. 10 years on and there are still some old games with newspaper reports available that I haven't gotten to. Can't imagine how painful it would be to do with 1897 (even 1858) onwards.

Having been at the GF in 1964 my mind is starting to falter. You are correct - it should be 56 years still = zero.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
