Our Current Status

[bulldogtragic]

I'm not across all the different trophies we play other AFL teams for etc. - But I know these:

Current Premiers (Inc. 4 in a row over Sydney)
Current Bob Rose Cup Holders (Inc. 5 in a row over Collingwood)
Current EJ Whitten Cup Holders (over Essendon)
Current & Inaugural Good Friday winners

Are there any trophies, cups or status we don't currently hold? Or do we hold them?

VFL premiership.

VFL premiership.

Moreso thinking of the various AFL things in games we play for. My guess is this is the first time we've held everything we/we've played for as an AFL team.

Re: Our Current Status

Do we still play for a cup with Geelong?

Yep. I googled it and found a wiki page on all trophies. We have all but two:

If we beat Geelong in Round 9 (Western Victoria Cup) & St Kilda in Round 10 (Barker-Whitten Cup) then we'd hold everything for the first time (obviously with a flag last year and 1st Good Friday game - on a side note most have BOG medals, do why no Jesus Medal for Dahl yesterday?).

I hate losing to both teams, so would be nice to salute.

Well the time is here. If we beat Geelong & St Kilda in the next two weeks, for the first time ever in our history we will hold every single trophy we play for!

What about the McClennand Trophy? We don't hold that.

Is it still awarded?

Not according to the list of trophies/cups games for all clubs.

I am absolutely certain that the Maclelland trophy (I might not be able to spell it but i am pretty sure it still exists) to the team that finishes on top of the AFL ladder at the end of the home and away season. We have never finished on top of the AFL/VFL after the H&A season.
