WHAT IS THE AFL?
Fast Facts
Following Melbourne Demons’ long-awaited Grand Final victory in 2021, St Kilda Saints now hold the unwanted distinction of having the longest active premiership drought. The Saints last won the flag in 1966.
Only four minor premiers in the past 14 seasons – Hawthorn in 2013, Melbourne in 2021, Geelong in 2022 and Collingwood in 2023 – have gone on to win that season’s Grand Final.
Eight different clubs have finished with the wooden spoon in the past nine seasons: Essendon, Brisbane, Carlton, Gold Coast, Adelaide, North Melbourne, West Coast and Richmond.
