AFL Premierships
2 Flags
The Western Bulldogs' two premierships are separated by 62 years — the longest gap between flags in VFL/AFL history. The 1954 triumph under Charlie Sutton and the 2016 miracle run under Luke Beveridge are both etched into football folklore, with the 2016 flag widely considered one of the greatest underdog stories in Australian sport.
