AFL: Hall of Fame

Every player dreams of being part of a premiership team, to celebrate the culmination of a footballer's career. Footy can fulfill a childhood ambition, or can shatter dreams. There is no greater achievement than a premiership, but there is also no second prize. The agony and the ecstasy - that's what makes footy the greatest game on Earth.

The team always comes first, but we also reward the best and fairest player with the Brownlow medal, the most prestigious individual accolade in the league.

Congratulations Adam Cooney for taking old Charlie home in 2008.

Hall of Shame

If a team's success and triumph is judged on the number of premierships won, then failure and humiliation is surely based on the number of wooden spoons collected.

In 1916, only four teams competed. Fitzroy finished last at the end of the home-and-away season, thus receiving the "wooden spoon"; but also made the finals - and went on to win the premiership!
