No but maybe if we relocated to Tasmania, we'd get the support of the AFL and might win a flag sometime in the next 10 years.

Tassie Tigers has always had a good ring to it! ;D

Seriously though, we are too big and valuable to the AFL.  Maybe we could get a priority pick if we pleaded really really hard.... ::)

A few teams are ahead of us on the list of those that should be closing down

Our last flag was in 1980.

Footscray was 1954, St Kilda was 1966 and Melbourne's was in 1964.

 :cheers

Your boys North should be the first to go. No money, no fans - most of them jumped ship to bigger clubs in the 60's, like you.

No, I think that's too extreme. However, what I reckon we should all do next year is collectively downgrade our membership to a 3-gamer, and that would send a loud message to the club to stop taking us for granted. Too many blokes down there for too long happy to go through the motions on match day and pick up their fat pay cheque.

Norfies had more fans at Subi than they do at Etihad.

They were mainly Fremantle fans having their fortnightly fancy dress. They support two teams - Fremantle and whoever's playing West Coast.

Good idea Ramps  :thumbsup

The good thing is that a lot of posters on this site support multiple clubs.

Also Claw seems to watch the WAFL more than the AFL

Not counting Gold Coast & GWS, every current club except Richmond & Footscray has made at least one Grand Final in the blast 30 years - in fact if you take out the two next newest clubs  - Port & Fremantle - every club except Richmond & Footscray has played in at least two Grand Finals.

Good stuff.

No, but we should relegate ourselves to the vfl. Delist the spuds and squibs and be the strongest standalone team in the comp.
Or yes we just close it down and become a superannuation fund group...

Pretty sure Port have made 2 GF's - won one, lost one.

You're right - forgot about the Geelong thrashing.

Even more depressing and Fremantle could still very well complete that list this year while Port could make their third.
