Net Premierships
From Blueseum - History of the Carlton Football Club
We at the Blueseum acknowledge that this is a completely useless analysis, but thought it might be at least of interest - in this era of premierships / spoons in very different competitions, game style and eras - to track each club by their relative contribution to the VFL / AFL in nothing more than their premierships / wooden spoon tally:
| Club | Net Premierships |
| Collingwood | 14 |
| Carlton | 11 |
| Essendon | 11 |
| Richmond | 5 |
| Geelong | 5 |
| Brisbane Lions (post merger) | 4 |
| Hawthorn | 2 |
| West Coast | 1 |
| Melbourne | 1 |
| Adelaide | 1 |
| Fitzroy (pre merger) | 1 |
All other clubs are flat (ie as many flags as spoons) or negative.... we don't worry about them!
