I think North Melbourne have the record in the VFA. They won 50 odd games and were then admitted to the VFL. The kangas were the last undefeated side before Port's amazing 2011.
The Roar "record'which btw includes draws is pure Bullshit from the Soccer mob and the lazy basically Sydney media have fallen in hook line and sinker.
North Melbourne in the VFA - a Major competition at the time WON 49 games straight from 1914 to 1919.
No doubt the idiots at the AFL dont want to mention this as it wasnt to do with one of their founding clubs.
Its interesting to note that in the period from 1899 - 1919 The VFA played the VFL twice and South Australia 13 times for 6 wins.During the 1930s the VFA played the VFL a number of times and in 1932 the VFA pushed the now clearly bigger VFL to 8 points in a game at the MCG.I remember Jack Dyer talking about that game and said how surprised the VFL were.
Wow a team in a second tier sport in a fifth tier league think they have set a record. Start playing soccer in the Winter and I might take notice of the stupid sport.
