    I don't know how much bearing the victory had in us joining the VFL the following year because Hawthorn and North were also admitted that year.
    They need to count vfa premierships in the grand total.

    Yeah, Port would want their SANFL ones counted. Really I think any VFL ones should just be VFL premierships and not lumped in with the AFL ones.
