We have 20 premierships

[ledge]

Had the old argument with a pies supporter , you have only won two flags , so I delved deeper , as Footscray supporters we know we won a lot in the then VFA . So I replied with 20 , which is true if you go through every grade including women .
Now I did some more research and a cup wasn’t awarded until 1959, before then it was a pennant .
I haven’t been to the museum so I was wondering are the “pennants and cups all on display if not and some are missing would it not hurt the club to get reproduction s?

Did you include the three (?) Night premierships, the preseason NAB cup and the 1924 Championship of Victoria-which nobody else has?

I wished the club made more of our VFA success and those Premierships, i mean that is still part of our history as a club even though we didn't make that step up to VFL until 1924/25, not sure about the Championship Of Victoria game as there are many conspiracies regarding Essendon and throwing the game to allow us to come in so they could then own our zones and take away players we should have been able to bring in, all the more reason to hate that #anker of a club.
