Historically no, but rival supporters would like to think so. Richmond haven't been a force for the longest, last winning the flag in 1980, and can regularly be relied upon to finish ninth (out of 16). Essendon last won the flag in 2000 and Carlton in 1995.
no but essendon is the best team by Dylan berry
Melbourne and Geelong with Essendon, Collingwood and Carlton coming in Next
Essendon and Carlton are equal on 16 but Essendon has been runner up more times. Collingwood are coming in 3rd on 15, but have been in more grand finals than any other team... (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) :) hope this helps (:
Collingwood has made the most Grand finals, but has lost more than its fair share. The others are: Carlton Essendon Hawthorn
Same premiership total (16) but more grand final apperances for Essendon.
no ... The most successful AFL teams are Essendon and Carlton, each with 16 Premierships
Historically, YES! Both Carlton and Essendon hold the most premierships as of end of 2009, at 16 each. Presently, NO!! Geelong has been the great superior team now for some years.
the Richmond tigers have the worst record of losing games
Essendon is an AFL football team in Australia.
Essendon is a football team in Victoria, Australia.
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!
As of May 2011, Essendon and Carlton share the honor of having won the most VFL/AFL Premierships with sixteen apiece.
