best club(s) of the century ??

Postby bayman » Sun Sep 11, 2011 12:15 am

it is obvious that port was the best club (performance wise) in the 20th century


so while we're 'only in' 2011 do you think central will be able claim that title at the end of the century ?.......i think they're almost certainties already
i thought secret groups were a thing of the past, well not on websites anyway

I'm not sure its actually possible to draw conclusions about a century after just one decade.

Post the same question in about 70 years and we may be able to discuss it then.

80% of seasons played you may have won the flag, but of all the years this century (ie. 100), the success rate is 8%.

Looking at a 'best club" of a century, you also must look at who they beat, in what circumstances and the level of competition / other teams.

The SANFL is not the same as it was 50 years ago, 20 years ago.
That factor must come into it to.

Norwood won 11 flags including 6 in a row, South won 7.
Norwood easily.
It really isn't even debatable.

Does that mean that Norwood won 16 flags in the 20th century.
Certainly that means that they were the second best performed side of the 20th century, but it doesn't place them much in front of North and Sturt (both 13 flags).
