Top 10 Australian Football League (AFL) Teams
Based in the city of Geelong, Victoria, this Australian rules football team competes in the AFL. Founded in 1859, they are one of the oldest football clubs in the world and have a successful history with multiple premierships. The team colors are navy and white. We are Geelong no excuse. We can scare bulldogs away. Definitely the best team ever. Even if they did not get the premierships this year 2018, doesn't matter cause we are going to touch that trophie in 2019. So yeah ha ha ha, other afl teams are not. I'm your favourite fan here Geelong. Including my favourite players, Joel Selwood, Patrick Dangerfield and Gary Ablett. By Miguel. Never Forget Me.
One of the founding football clubs in the land and has rarely been out of contention for long. Over the past 20 years it's period of near dominance has been impressive. Just think just how great this team would have been had Hawthorn not been so good at the same time.
Geelong are very consistent and very clean, they have lost once but for four points. They have beaten the reigning premiers and Collingwood, two grand finalists from last years granny.
Cats have been on top of the ladder all season and they will never go down it. They have great players. Even though they haven't won the grand finals since 2011 they still made it to every final.
The West Coast Eagles are an Australian Rules Football team . The Eagles are based in Perth, Western Australia, dawning the colours of navy blue and gold . Looking at the stats from 1990 to 2018 The Eagles most successful now since 2018 premiership followed by Geelong, Hawthorn and probably Collingwood. Brisbane must be close because of their three in a row which could have easily been four. Richmond no where near blimey the arrogance of their fans is incredible they have only won 1 flag in 2017 in the whole of the AFL era come on. I used to despise Collingwood the most mainly because of Eddie MacGuire but Richmond are beginning to take their place.
We're simply the best because we're the current AFL Premiers 2018 and the most successful interstate team in the AFL's history. With 4 premierships and 7 grand final appearances only Hawthorn can challenge West Coast's stats since we've been in the competition.
As the AFL, West Coast has featured in more finals series than any other team. We're flyin high!
Almost every season they get in top 8 and only been around shortly compared to eastern states teams and have already been in 6 premierships. They win every brawl as well that they get into, they bloody huge units #oath
Amazingly start after joining the AFL with a losing GF appearance in their second year (1991) and then premierships in 1992 and 1994. Have been amongst the top teams in most years since then adding more premierships.
A Melbourne-based AFL team, the Hawthorn Hawks were founded in 1902. The team has a successful history, with numerous premierships, and is known for its skillful play. The team wears brown and gold. 12 Premierships in 54 years, 18 Grand Finals, that is on average a Grand Final every 3 years and a premiership every 4.5. 7 Grand Finals in a row from 1983-89 with premierships in 83,86,88 and 89 and then we went on to win the premiership in 1991 despite the critics believing we were too old and too slow. Not to mention the most recent 2014 premiership where we were riddled with injuries all season, including clarko himself but still found a way to get the job done all year. My favourite quote for last years season is, "The football Gods said not this time, the Hawks didn't listen." And I guarantee all you doubters that we will be running out on the G' on Grand Final day this year, our best is still the best simply because recent history has shown that a strong offense wins premierships, not a strong defense. CARN HAWKS
They are one of a very few teams to win three premierships in a row. They have very good forwards such as Luke Breust and Roughy. In the 2013 grand final they beat Fremantle by 15 points, they beat the swans by 63 points and in the 2015 grand final they beat the eagles by 46 points. they won't stop until they get what they want. They had and still have legendary players such as Cyril Rioli, Lee Mathews, Peter Hudson, Shaun Burgoyne and my favourite player Roughy. Hawthorn players have broken many records like Michael Tuck playing most AFL games in AFL history or Michael Tuck playing seven grand finals which is most grand finals played by an AFL player in history. The hawks' new players this year are the best players I have ever seen play. James Worpel who started playing AFL in 2018 I think is going to be the next Cyril Rioli. In conclusion the mighty hawks "WILL" win this years grand final. GO HAWKS!
Under Alistair Clarkson Hawthorn have had a total winning percentage of 64 2 and since 2011 Hawthorns win percentage has only been as low as 73.1 in 2015 a year in which they still won the flag convincingly. Not to mention Alistair Clarkson's win percentage for finals footy is 72.7 from 22 finals.
Looking at it as a whole 4 grand final appearances in a row and 3 premierships in a row says enough to make them the greatest.team of all time especially under the control of Alistair Clarkson!
The Mighty Hawks are a consistent, and an unbeatable team in recent history. They have won a 3-peat in the modern era; and they are an exciting team to watch with full of packed action. The Hawthorn supporters are passionate about the game and you often see someone fly for a mark at the club and the crowd roars.
Carn' The Hawks!
An Australian rules football team founded in 1874, the Sydney Swans compete in the Australian Football League (AFL). Originally based in South Melbourne, the team relocated to Sydney in 1982 and has won multiple AFL premierships. The team colors are red and white. Such a talented roster full of young guns and extremely talented veterans. Swans made the biggest comeback in 2017 startin 0-6 but came back and made finals, no team has ever done that before. 2018 is our year to win the grand final
Without a doubt. Swans won 2005 and almost won (1 point margin) 2006. They won 2012 and got in 2013 Grand FINAL. ONLY lost 2016 because of terrible umpiring. Made best comeback ever in 2017 and even made it to the finals
Were the easy beats for a while but soon took flight with their win in 2005. As well as a win in 2012 they have spawed dual brownlow medalist Adam Goodes and have become a regular finals team for almost 2 decades. #Consistency
The Sydney Swans are the most pro club in the afl, all over the world!
Based in Melbourne, the Richmond Tigers are an Australian rules football team that participates in the AFL. Established in 1885, the team has won several AFL premierships and is known for its strong fan base. The team's colors are yellow and black. Were regular grand finalists between 1920 and the mid 1940s but were unsighted again until they became a powerhouse in the late 1960s, winning 4 premierships with one 2nd between 1967 and 1974. Another flag in 1980 but then faded badly until the last few years when they've finally returned to the top of the table.
Every other club wishes they were Richmond. Look at Collingwood, been mimicking Tigers since Jack Dyer was around. Mimicking is the greatest form of flattery, but we don't need it, we prefer to hate.
Haven't had much success for a long time, but the tigers are real battlers and one of the most heavily supported teams in the afl with the best club song going, the atmosphere at a richmond game is electric in the mcg when the tigers are playing well and the richmond roar is one of the loudest in the comp, the tiges under new administration and coaching staff, have all the resources they need to once again be a premiership side.
Richmond should be on top like have you seen the performance of Richmond lately it was epic they have not lost one game so far and ready to win the premreship.
A professional Australian rules football team based in Melbourne, Collingwood competes in the Australian Football League (AFL). Founded in 1892, the team has a rich history and is one of the most successful clubs in the league, with multiple premierships to its name. The official colors are black and white. Collingwood have won 15 Grand Finals, the third most of all time. Collingwood have been in I think 33 or 34 losing Grand Finals showing they're always up their. A team that in the 2018 season came from nowhere to make a losing Grand Final. And now, in the 2019 season Collingwood are currently 2nd and will win their next 5 probably. what a team and question is..How did Richmond get their? And West Coast! West Coast are terrible. yeah they beat us but still.
Collingwood have won the second most premierships thus far being 15 (one behind Essendon and Carlton). Their next premiership victory will have them equal top, however they have played in more grand finals then any other team.
The consistency shown to make the grand final over their journey alone shows that they are far more superior over the rest of the competition.
Hate Collingwood, but there's no denying that they've consistently been among the top teams throughout their history. 15 premierships from 45+ grand final appearances is an incredible tribute to their consistency ... and it gave us the great term "Collywobbles"
Good old Collingwood forever,
We know how to play the game.
Side by side we stick together,
To uphold The Magpies name.
Hear the barrackers a shouting,
As all barrackers should,
Oh, the premiership's a cakewalk
For the good old Collingwood!
UP THE PIES
A Melbourne-based team, Essendon competes in the AFL and was founded in 1872. The team has a storied history and is one of the most successful clubs in AFL, with several premierships. The team wears red and black. Say what you want about the bombers but they are a successful unit. 16 premierships including one of the most dominant seasons ever in 2000. They were nearly unbeatable in 2000 and it took a strong Lions team to trump them a year later. Many legends have come from Windy Hill and they will continue to "Fly Up".
The oldest team is Melbourne... and saying that Carlton entered the competition is pure rubbish, given Essendon won the first VFL flag in 1897. Still the best team ever (16 premierships), and has consistently got more members than Carlton (the only team to tie on most premierships with Essendon)
The oldest team in the competition is Melbourne. The first team formed though is Geelong. Carlton were in the league before Essendon.
Rarely away from the top of the ladder for long and were particularly strong in the late 1930s and 1940s winning 4 premiership and runners up 5 times in an 11 year period. Have struggled since their last GF appearance in 2001.
An Australian rules football team representing Port Adelaide, South Australia, this team competes in the AFL. Established in 1870, they are one of the oldest and most successful clubs in Australian football history, with numerous premierships. The team's colors are black, teal, and white. The most decorated Aussie rules club has a special place in the AFL - a rocky relationship with the league, and some up and down years, but you can't find a purer traditional footy club underneath any other AFL franchise as you can Port.
Controversial choice but what puts the power over teams like North and Richmond is their ability to put a young talented list together almost overnight and even win the odd flag. They are Australias most succesful football club and the AFL's 10th.
Port should be most successful because of the last years they have had.
I don't hate Port but I dislike them. They aren't bad and they aren't good.
Also known as the Kangaroos, North Melbourne is another AFL team situated in Melbourne. Established in 1869, the club has captured multiple league titles. It has a robust supporter base and dons royal blue and white stripes. I GO For North Melbourne and I have never seen North Melbourne win a grand final and North Melbourne Is Better Then Richmond And Adelaide Cows because last year North Melbourne Beat Richmond.
And North Melbourne Beat Adelaide Crows This year and I am young only 8
Go Kangaroos!
The last of the Victorian VFL/AFL teams to win a premiership (in 1975) but became one of the strongest teams over the next 25 years. Only resulted in 4 flags and 4 runners up medals, but they were almost always in contention.
North Melbourne is the best by far in my opinion because all of my family goes for them and their such a great team.
How is North above Collingwood? The pies have had equal time in the VFL/AFL and won 15-4. The pies are far better.
Based in Melbourne, the Carlton Blues are an Australian rules football team that plays in the AFL. Founded in 1864, they are one of the league's original teams and have won multiple premierships. Their team colors are navy blue and white. 2022 was a great year, last two games were lost due massive amounts of injuries, 2023 finals here we come. best team in the AFL too and most successful with 16 premierships! Go the Blues
Won the most amount of premierships, (16), one of the most popular, one of the oldest, one of the 8 starting teams in the first VFL season, and just an overall significant club in the AFL. We've been pretty bad since 2002, but under Brendan Bolton, we could improve and become a real powerhouse again.
16 premierships and counting. Carlton has been a formidable finals force for nearly a century and although they haven't made a Grand Final since 1999 they still have reaped success over the 60's 70's 80's and 90's.
Blues are the champions of AFL they won the most grand finals we are the Navi blues go blues!
Representing the city of Adelaide, this Australian rules football team competes in the AFL. Founded in 1990, the Adelaide Crows have won multiple premierships and are the first South Australian team to participate in the AFL. Their colors are navy, red, and yellow. First team to win back to back premierships in the AFL, more members than any other club, has the fastest man in the league (Patrick Dangerfield), their home ground is the largest purpose built Australian rules football stadium in the world, and they are the pride of South Australia - the mighty Adelaide Crows!
Agree with you mate adelaide has been a great team for just a short period of time and has produced champions of the game in MCleod, riccutio, goodwin and hart. Now we have new champions like kurt tippet, patrick dangerfield, bernard vince, chris knights, taylor walker and David mackay so the future is bright.
Proud and talented team. They won 2 great premierships in a row in the late 90's and have continued to make finals footy throuout the 2000's
They're not going to the finals in 2018 but in 2019 they're going to fantastic!
An Australian Football League (AFL) team, the Western Bulldogs are based in Melbourne's inner-western suburbs. Founded in 1877, the team has won multiple AFL premierships and is known for resilience and community engagement. The team's colors consist of red, white, and blue. The western bulldogs are the best because they can bully you and they won on the grand FINALE so yeah!
Always been my favourite and they won the grand final too!
Awesome team. It's been great watching them for year's.
Best side in the league. Worst result second last
Representing the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda, this Australian rules football team is part of the AFL. Established in 1873, the team has had a mixed record but maintains a dedicated fan base. The team's colors are red, white, and black. St Kilda are my Favorite team. I'm autistic and growing up the team I loved was the saints because they finished top of the ladder when I was 5 and made the grand final that year. We ended up losing to geelong (I STILL HATE THE CATS SO MUCH!) but I still stick with the saints because they were the best team ever.
Easily the most legendary and loyal. our 2009-2010 team stands above all!
St Kilda are the best
Go the mighty saints
Based in Fremantle, Western Australia, this Australian rules football team is part of the AFL. Founded in 1994, the Dockers are the second team from Western Australia to join the AFL and are known for their passionate supporters. Their colors are purple and white. I'm writing this as of 2021.
My god we can't win games away from home, yet we're one of the best teams at home.
They are going pretty good this year, was bad that they lost barlow.
Best team in the afl, especially after this years trade period!
Eh... given the fact that we've won 0 premierships in 27 years, I'm not surprised that we're 16th.
People shouldn't be judging this on a teams current situation but on the entire history of the club. Melbourne are the oldest club and had the longest and most complete period of dominance in the history of the game. 2nd in 1954, premiers in 1955,1956,1957, 2nd in 1958, premiers in 1959 and 1960. Then another in 1964.
They should be higher even though they sometimes lose and they are the oldest team ever!?!?
Melbourne are probably the only Victorian club that no one seems to dislike.
Amazing. Great history, stood up to Carlton when they were ruling. Saints best allys. Classic team
This AFL team represents Brisbane, Queensland, and was established in 1996 as a merger of the Fitzroy Lions and the Brisbane Bears. They quickly found success, winning several premierships in the early 2000s. The team wears maroon, blue, and gold. Really? Yes. They are in a form slump right now and have lossed their coach but lets not forget their invincibility in the early 2000's. No one could touch them, with legends like voss, black, brown, acker and more. They have only been the Brisbane Lions for 16 years and to have 4 grand finals apperances, 3 premierships in a row, 3 brownlow medalists, a coleman medalist and have a legend coach like Matthews they deserve 4th place
Can't consider the Fitzroy record as they are no more Fitzroy than Sydney are South Melbourne. Only been in the competition a fairly short time but have achieved a lot. Their period of dominance in the early 2000s under Matthews was incredible and the envy of all the non-Victorian clubs who have joi9ned the competition since 1990.
WHAT? Brisbane has struggled significantly since their 3 premierships in a row. They literally need a funding off the AFL because they can't afford to fill the salary cap.
We are lions we have won 3 premria ships where better than other teams. We are winners go for lions so what dumb geelong cats are the best. We have fury. Were strong together!
Founded in 2009, this AFL team is based in Sydney, New South Wales. The team is one of the newest in the league and represents the Greater Western Sydney region. They wear orange, charcoal, and white. No. 1 dominates thr rubbish teams anyway how did geelong come first Sydney swans can even beat em idiots
We are the best
Also a relatively new team in the AFL, the Gold Coast Suns represent the Gold Coast, Queensland. Established in 2009, they are known for their young talent and development focus. Their colors are red, gold, and blue. Not to bad a club. I like the idea of coming to Cairns.
