Weeks at the Top this Century

I hope no one get paid to produce that.

Amazing we have more than Richmond. Had to watch twice to see when Carlton's two weeks were.

[poita 3,902]

Interesting that only 2 of the top 8 on that list have won premierships in the past decade (admittedly 3 for Hawthorn).

Shows the need to take your opportunities when they come.

[Little Goffy 14,645]

Following up on Poita's thought; every club which has their biggest top-of-the-ladder streak in the time since 2005 -  Port (2020), Freo (2015), St Kilda (2009), Adelaide (2006), Western Sydney (2017) Gold Coast (N/A) has NOT won a premiership in the same period. It's a curse!

Also, despite all the time that Geelong spent on top of the ladder in recent decades, their longest streak in first place was way back in 1952-54. So at least the current Geelong players were around for it.

A quick bit of spreadsheet analysis shows in the last column how many Premierships should have been won if in proportion to the number of weeks on top of the ladder. Geelong right on target. Saints the worst offenders mathematically.

Crazy that the Tigers have finished on top only 15 times in 22 years but have 3 of the last 5 flags! to me it shows they had more fortune than the average team.  their dynasty will not be looked at on the same level as Lions, Hawks, Cats (and hopefully ours)

and I would NOT have tipped the bombers to be 5th on the list having not won a final for 16 years!  from absolute dominance to shizenhausen

Thanks for posting, very interesting.

There was a time when I would have accepted 0.7 of a premiership.

Now only a 4-peat will do.

Have a look at the amount of MCG Games the Tigers got in those 4 years. The AFL have zero integrity

OK.

2017 - 11
2018 - 14
2019 - 13
2020 - 4

Total = 42, but to be fair it was 38 in three years prior to 2020 being wrecked by COVID.

We had 35 in 2017-19. So only a gap of three.

How does that reflect a lack of integrity?

And I know you think Hawthorn's three flags were significantly harder won than Richmond's. So compare with Hawthorn 2012-15:

2012 - 13 (plus 4 at UTAS Stadium)
2013 - 9 (plus 4 at UTAS Stadium)
2014 - 11 (plus 4 at UTAS Stadium)
2015 - 9 (plus 4 at UTAS Stadium)

Total = 42, but 58 games at the G and UTAS Stadium.

Generally speaking, you've come to the right place.

Are you including “away” MCG appearances in those numbers?

the continuum becomes far more interesting when you do

Yes. Those are total games at the MCG.

The continuum is right there.

You don’t have a problem with 7 MCG games in a row?

I find that a massive advantage
