equalisation policies

Only five clubs won premierships in the twenty three seasons between 1967–1989.

Eleven clubs won premierships in the eighteen seasons between 1990–2007.

The league introduced equalisation policies of a salary cap and draft in the late 80s, which had a significant impact on the spread of premierships.

Since then every club has made a preliminary final except Gold Coast.
