Best and Worst Decade
Select Team

 A decade can be any 10 consecutive years. It is valid for example, to call the ten years from 1960 to 1969, the 'sixties' decade. However 1955 to 1964 is just as valid as a 'decade'. (And an important one for long suffering Melbourne supporters to look back on!)

To discover each team's best and worst performance over ten consecutive years, including a snapshot of the period, select a team from the list at the left.

Click Decade Menu at the bottom of each page or back on your browser to return to this menu.

Note that only teams that have completed 25 seasons or more in the VFL/AFL competition are included.

Below on this page are also  tables of each teams best/worst 3 and 5 consecutive years.
