The 2022 , in my opinion, was the least skilled team of those flag teams
However, in my opinion , they are the most courageous team of the lot.
They gave up leads in all 4 finals this year and prevailed 3 times.
Gee, we managed in 11 years what you took a half-century to achieve
Naw, well done to Norwood on showing a lot of character in winning this year's flag - coming pretty much from rank outsiders at the halfway mark of the year.
We won 9 flags in our first 11 years. What were you plonkers doing for 35 years.

REB, REB, REB, my friend, I thought that you of all people would have better knowledge of your own club. Norwood have NEVER won 9 premierships in 11 years.
You won in 1878, 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1883 then missed out in 1884, 1885, 1886 before winning in 1877, 1888 and 1889. That makes 9 premierships in TWELVE years.
However, yes, our first 35 years were spent mainly down in the doldrums... which made our first premiership all the much sweeter.
If premierships were a 'given' every year, they would not be as sweet or enjoyable
