Since the first season of VFL/AFL football in 1897, several teams have come and gone and the league has now expanded to 18 teams by this year's 120th edition.
Looking back through the history of all current 18 sides, we've decided to rank ever club in order of their average ladder position at the end of each season.
While some of these numbers will be properly weighted, a lot of them just go based on ladder position, and does not take into account the amount of teams in the competition that season.
For example, Carlton finished seventh in every season from 1897-1901 (the first five years of the league), but also finished second from bottom, given it was just an eight-team competition at the time.
So while the Blues' average ladder position is 5.2 in their history and among one of the better averages in the competition, it needs to be noted that they've played in seasons with as little as seven other sides.
Once the competition moved to at least 12 teams in 1925, the league has since expanded to 14 in 1987, 16 in 1995 and 18 in 2012.
Here is the list of your club's average ladder position, as well as your side's minor premierships and wooden spoons.
