Good to see the AFL recognising something that's really lacking.

    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    Considering the amount of unforseen historical content the AFL has (clearance reports, reserves and Under 19s player information etc...)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?

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
