I get too angry over these stupid lists  :lol

Josh Gibson was a great for the Hawks, yet he doesn't rate Grimes.

Cornes has a hard on for Geelong and Chris Scott for that matter.

If we’re talking about the most dominant single season premiership team, then it is 100% the 2000 bombers. Finished the H/A season with a 21-1 record and 159 percentage then spanked each of their finals opponents by 125, 45 and 60 points at an avg of 77.

If your just talking about strength of teams player for player, take any of the lions 3peat teams hands down, just a ridiculous collection of talent.

Agree on Lions.

As for the Dons...gee you wonder what else might have happened if the Lions hadn't come along? It was a different era back then and although some fans think our dynasty team was the 'best midfield of the century' I personally think they'd lower their colours to that Lions 3-peat or the Geelong dynasty.

Lions
Cats
Dons
Hawks

Those are the big ones for me.

And if I had to pick one of our teams to play them it would be our 2019 team.

I’m fairly confident our teams beat the others, game speeds up considerably over the years and rekn we just end up overrunning them.

Talent wise I’m not biased enough to pretend our team can match Brisbane. Don’t think you’ll ever see another team like that one.

Going back to back one of the hardest thing to do in the footy any team who does that should be in the top 5.
