3, 1953, 1958 and 1990.
4 - 1975, 1977 (Replay - after draw with Collingwood :( ), 1996, 1999.
No Team has. The AFL was born in 1990 and No Team has won 4 since then!! Brisbane has come close playing in 4 Grand finals but only winning 3 (In a row!)! Collingwood is the only Team to win 4 Premierships in a row but that was as a VFL Team! ("THE ONLY" Team worth barracking for, i.m.h.o!) Collingwood has "barrackers", the rest have fans or members! Check Our Club anthem and you'll see why!

Carlton and Essendon both have won 16 premierships, Collingwood just behind with 14.
The question is actually invalid, because both Essendon and Carlton have won the most at 16 premierships each. Therefore, the next team will have won the third most AFL Premierships; and that is Collingwood. The Collingwood Magpies have won 15, but they have lost many more grand finals than they have won!
During the 1950's and 1960's, Norm Smith coached the Melbourne Football Club to 6 Premierships over 11 seasons, with 11 consecutive finals appearances! Those were the days when only 4 teams made the finals. None other has even approached that kind of record.
