What I don’t get is that the 1997 Gf between Crows and Saints had over 98,000. That was before the MCG did its expansion and yet current Gf crowds are still around the 98-99,000 crowd size???
Yeah. In most sports in the past, including soccer, Aussie rules and Rugby, the regulations for standing room were very loose and weak. Now that we got a lot of proof in the last 40+ years that places being too crowded is actually extremely dangerous, there are a lot more regulation, thankfully. Such that things like crowd rushes with dozens of casualties do not happen anymore.
Someone posted that question 4 months ago (as the Swans have been flag favourites for almost all season), and that last happened in 1992 (it happened a lot of times in the past, remember that there were initially just 9 teams, then 12 from the 20s to the late 80s). Guess who were the wooden spooners then? Yeah. You are right. Sydney. The eventual premiers back then were West Coast, they finished 16th in 2024, that’s just one place lower than Sydney were in 1992 (competition had 15 teams back then).
Didn't fritzroy destroy all their primership cups when it merged. Why are vics calling Brisbane Loins fritzroy when it only has 2001 2002 2003 primership cup in its trophy cabinet 😂
Thanks for reminding me of my teams one flag
Hopefully it’s a close grand final🙏🙏🙏
2006 Gf is still the best day of my life
💙🦅💛🦅💙
2018 would be up their wouldn’t it against Collingwood as well😂😂
if Neale wins the Brownlow then its possible he could win back to back brownlows and then lose back to back GFs.
I JUST REALIZED, BRISBANE AND SYDNEY FINISHED WITH THE SAME SCORE IN BOTH PRELIMS 😳
When did you realise?
@@Thefortnitelover-t I’m dumb ik
Great that Hawthorn, Dogs and North celebrating 100 years in 2025
100 years since their first VFL game but 100 and first season in the comp. Freo 30 years since their first AFL game, btw.

Revised fire safety regulations likely mean there’s less standing room.
@@paulorockymakes sense thanks brother

I wonder if the Premiers have ever been beaten by the wooden spooners, if not this year could be a first

Imagine kicking 9 goals and still losing. You’d be filthy at your teammates for not doing their part
UP THE SWANS BLOCKBUSTER NON VICTORIAN GRAND FINAL
What about gws. They are 0-1. This means they have lost every grandfinal they have appeared in, and have a 100% loss rate in grandfinals
“For all the AFL teams that have made at least five Grand Finals…”
The worst record in grand finals is gws with 0% lol
And freo
@@ComeatMEOW ye
Me thinks he means the lowest percentage of any team to actually win a premiership
“For all the AFL teams that have made at least five Grand Finals…”

nope, kept all the cups.
The history of Fitzroy has been retained and was integral to the merge with the Bears.
@darrenoleary5952 ok, where's your evidence because Trust me bro is not a source
