I present to you: the 200 times translated AFL Clubs! (Inspired by this post)

See under the cut for details and some cut names!

For some clubs like Carlton, Collingwood, Melbourne, and Port Adelaide, I used their nicknames to produce interesting results (e.g., Carlton Blues, Melbourne Demons, Collingwood Magpies, Port Adelaide Power). Yes, the translation added the punctuation.

Runners up include:

CHILDREN (Fremantle)

Blood (Gold Coast Suns)

Blue Cardboard (Carlton)

I doubt it (Collingwood)

What are you Preparing For? (Hawthorn)

Beat Your Friends (St Kilda)

Ten (West Coast Eagles)

Romanovsky (Richmond Tigers)

And an honorable mention to He Is The Composer Of This Song (Footscray)

Just for fun...

There's a weird Noble Savage idealism which verges on a fetish, a perception that primitive peoples were all peaceful and harmonious... until European people came along.

But it isn't true. Look at your likelihood of dying a violent death in tribal societies.

https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/bennelong-papers/2013/05/the-long-bloody-history-of-aboriginal-violence/

The long history of Aboriginal violence — Part II

TRIBAL warfare and paybacks were endemic. In "Journey to Horseshoe Bend", anthropologist T.G.H. Strehlow described a black-on-black massacre in 1875 in the Finke River area of Central Australia, triggered by a perceived sacrilege:

"The warriors turned their murderous attention to the women and older children and either clubbed or speared them to death. Finally, according to the grim custom of warriors and avengers they broke the limbs of the infants, leaving them to die ‘natural deaths’. The final number of the dead could well have reached the high figure of 80 to 100 men, women and children."

Revenge killings by the victims’ clan involved more than 60 people, with the two exchanges accounting for about 20% of members of the two clans. (When Pauline Hanson, then member for Oxley, quoted this account in 1996, an Aboriginal woman elder replied, "Mrs Hanson should receive a traditional Urgarapul punishment: having her hands and feet crippled.")

Escaped convict William Buckley, who lived for three decades with tribes around Port Phillip, recounted constant raids, ambushes, and small battles, typically involving one to three fatalities. He noted the Watouronga of Geelong in night raids ‘destroyed without mercy men, women and children.’

Historian Geoff Blainey concluded that annual death rates from North-East Arnhem Land and Port Philip, were comparable with countries involved in the two world wars, although Blainey’s estimate could be somewhat on the high side.

Other black-on-black massacres include accounts from anthropologist Bill Stanner of an entire camp massacre, an Aurukun massacre in the early 20th century, Strehlow’s account of the wiping out of the Plenty River local group of Udebatara in Central Australia, and the killing of a large group of men, women and children near Mt Eba, also in Central Australia.

Strehlow’s wife Kathleen Strehlow wrote:

“It would be no exaggeration to say that the system worked as one of sheer terror in the days before the white man came. This terror was instilled from earliest childhood and continued unabated through life until the extremity of old age seemed to guarantee some immunity from the attentions of blood avenger or sorcerer alike for wrongs real or imaginary…children were not exempted from capital punishment for persistent offences against the old tribal code.”

The Murngin (now Yolngu) in NE Arnhem Land during 1920s practiced a deadly warfare that placed it among the world’s most lethal societies. The then-rate for homicides of 330 per 100,000 (which Jarrett suggests could be grossly under-estimated) was 15 times the 2006-07 "very remote national Indigenous rate" of 22, and 300 times the 2006-7 national non-Indigenous rate. That Murngin rate was worse than in Mexico’s present Ciudad Juarez drug capital (300 homicides per 100,000), and more than three times worse than the worst national current rate (Honduras).

And they didn't even have to kill.

http://hawaii-guide.info/past.and.present/history/tahitian.takeover/

Hawaii Tahitian Takeover

Around 1000 A.D., Tahitians from the islands of Ra’iatea, Bora Bora, and Huahine arrived in Hawaii. With their larger statures, they easily overpowered the islands’ inhabitants, descendants of Polynesian settlers that had arrived several hundred years prior.

Although the Tahitians didn’t slaughter the natives, they reduced them to commoners, calling them menehune (an insult meaning “people of small status”) and imposed their own political system and customs on them.

The people who are purported to be Hawaii's "indigenous" or "first nations" or "first peoples" aren't. They're invaders, colonizers and occupiers who arrived second, subjugated the people who were already there and made them second-class citizens.

AFL

I worked out the average of every AFL team from 2012 (when the 18th team joined the competition) to the final 2023 ladder, this is based on W-D-L (final ladder based on wins) not based on who won what grand final.

My statistics for anybody who cares:

position - Team - Average Placing Last 12 Years

Geelong - 4.9

2. Sydney - 7.45

3. Richmond - 7.73

4. Port Adelaide - 8

5. Hawthorn - 8.45

6. Collingwood - 8.64

7. West Coast - 9

8. Freemantle - 10.36

9. Adelaide -10.55 (tied w/ WB)

10. Western bulldogs - 10.55 (tied w/ AC)

11. Melbourne - 11

12. Brisbane - 11.18

13. GWS - 11.27

14. ST Kilda - 11.73

15. Essendon - 11.9

16. North Melbourne - 13.27

17. Carlton - 13.82

18. Gold Coast - 16.36

These are based on statistics (I recorded the ladder from 2012 to 2023 and then worked alphabetically writing down the number the respective team came each year. Once I did that I divided that by 11 - the number of seasons played since then - and got the average.)

I'm a little nerd but I rlly wanted to see this. And now if anybody goes "Collingwood suck" I can pull this out. (<- I'm kidding about that)
