15,000 days from Saturday 24th Sept 66 to Oct 19th 2007.
We've come close a few times, but the suffering rolls on.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!
A nice reminder for anyone who remembers the awful days of "save our saints" - our clubs grip on things is tenuous at the best of times when onfield performances aren't there.
That would have to be one of the best records in the AFl wouldnt it?
Really?
Even from 99-2002?
Only once?
I suppose Freo were worse than us alot... ok just.
We have finished on the bottom the most, i think it is 26 times, which on average every 4 years since we have been in it, ir it was when we had our last one so it is probably up around 4.09 years or something now hahah

Yeah i realise that, but since the 16th team (Port) was introduced in '97 i think... we didnt finish last in that year or '98, but im sure we must have finished 16th more than once between '99 and '02? We were a joke at that time, but was there a team even more of a joke than us then?

eg between 8th and 9th going back to 1994
between 6th and 7th before that
Terrific suggestion MLF.
I added a line showing the number of finalists.
Prior to 1931 it gets a bit messy with a number of finals options tried.
But they mostly involved 4 teams, so I have just set it to 4 for the 1897-1930 period.
This of course includes the infamous 1916 season with only 4 teams and 4 finalists where The Roys won the spoon and the flag.
And worth pointing out if anyone is confused, that each blue dot on the purple line corresponds to a wooden spoon - 26 in all.
And each blue dot on or above the orange line represents a finals appearance - 22 in all.
Here's the update ...
