who are the bigger chokers?

Not a great poll lad.

You forgot the both option

Terrible thread / poll

I voted for HOF.

I voted for Port. Why would I choose Adelaide? Lol

I voted for the SANFL trying to provide a concise Magarey Medal update service.

I voted who cares

They can both choke eachother for all I care. I'm off to choke the chicken

Man I didnt even realise it was on, and then bang in the paper the winners.

Not your finest work hof.

Looks like HOF has voted 9 times himself.

Port 64% [ 16 ]
Crows 36% [ 9 ]

The Crows...fairly obvious I would have thought!!

i would have thought collingwood are the real chokers of the AFL, only winning 1 premiership since the AFL started, considering the dream draws they have each year, rarely have to travel and being the richest club around. hopefully they stay on only 1 permiership as well not that i am bitter or twisted

You do have a point. Although except for 2003 it was really the only GF they were probably close to favourites in.

Ok, I'm gonna be honest here- Collingwood should wear the chokers tag, as in the 70's it was apt.
The early 80's, I believe they came up against superior sides (correct me if wrong).
The 90's, well they won there first flag (as underdogs ).
In 1995, they travelled to Perth for an unwinnable final- they got within 5pts.
After a period out of finals action, they return, & in 2002, travel to Adelaide coming off a 50pt thumping from the Bulldogs, to play red-hot favourites, Port Power. Collingwood win aginst the odds, Paul Licuria picking up 38 odd touches whilst stopping Josh Francou.
They then beat the Crow's at the G, & won the right to lose to the rampaging Brisbane Lions- albeit by a very honourable 9pts (in terrible conditions)
Next year, a juiced up Brisbane side (thanks to their Medical Staff) thrash a helpless Collingwood- no choke here, the Lions are 3 time Premiers.
In 2007, the Pies travel to Perth & win a blockbuster game in extra time- only to back up to eventual Premiers Geelong, but not before giving them an almighty scare (losing by 7pts).
Last week, the Crows are red-hot favourites & up by 41 pts- yet Collingwood win.

Collingwood are not chokers, & left that tag behind in the 80's- winning the 1990 Premiership was the cure for that disease.

As for current chokers, we have Port Power (early 2000's prior to their Premiership), but should St Kilda miss a GF, that would be be considered a choke.

The lions Limped into that GF. Also should I remind you that you beat the lions at the MCG in the Qualifying final. So I would say you had the chance then.

Yes we beat the Lions in the QF, but we did not go in as red-hot fav's.
Geelong of last year was more of a "choke", yet I would not label it such, as both the Cats & the Hawks were standouts for the year.
Collingwood came up against an extremely dominant outfit in Brisbane, who were good enough to win 3 i a row.
As for limping into that GF, why do you think the I paid kudos to the medical staff?
The Lions had more jabs in the butt than a group of private school boys.
