List of Australian Football League premiers - Wikipedia List of Australian Football League premiers This page is a complete chronological listing of Australian Football League premiers. The Australian Football League ( AFL ), known as the Victorian Football League ( VFL ) until 1990, is the elite national competition in Australian rules football. Each year, the premiership is awarded to the club that wins the AFL Grand Final. The grand final has been played in all VFL / AFL seasons except for 1897 and 1924 ( where the premiership was awarded without a Grand final being played ), and has been an annual tradition in its current format since 1931. Since the introduction by the League of equalisation policies of a salary cap and draft in 1987, every team currently competing in the Australian Football League ( except for Gold Coast, which has not yet qualified for a finals series ) has made a preliminary final. This has had a significant impact on the spread of premierships : since 1987, thirteen clubs have won a premiership, compared with only five clubs in the twenty - three seasons between 1967 and 1989. Essendon and Carlton have won the most VFL / AFL premierships, with a total of 16 each. Of the teams currently competing in the Australian Football League, only Fremantle, Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney are yet to win a premiership.

Most conventional grand finals are a single match at the end of a finals series where the winner of the match wins the premiership. Under the early VFL finals systems in 1898 - 1923 and 1925 - 1930, the circumstances of the grand final were often different : in twenty - nine of these thirty - two years, the minor premiers had the right to challenge the winner of the finals series for the premiership, meaning the grand finals of this era were a mixture of challenge matches, non-challenge matches ( which would have been followed by challenge matches had the minor premier been defeated ), while in 1901, 1903 and 1906 there was no right of challenge. Regardless of the circumstances at that time, all of these games are now recognised as grand finals. Premiership decided by a conventional grand final, in which neither team had any right to challenge Premiership decided by a grand final replay, after the scheduled Grand Final was drawn Premiership decided by a challenge final under the Argus finals system or similar Premiership decided without a challenge final being required under the Argus finals system or similar ; in these cases, had the other team won the match, a rematch would have been played the following weekend Premiership decided without a grand final being required VFL / AFL premierships Season Premiers Runners -
