Hi Gigantor, ok I will admit they have been more successful than us over the last 3 decades. However this is relative. Why look at only the last 30 years? If you want to compare success, let's put the 2 clubs together from the time they were both in the VFL. We joined in 1909 and they in 1925, so to be fair let's compare the 2 clubs since 1925. If you did this you'd know who wins hands down ( us: 8 flags, they: 4 flags).
They were a low end club for the first 50 years of their VFL existence before they finally got their first flag in 1975. Incidentally, as you know, norf was the last club of all to win a flag in the old VFL.
Sure, they have had more success in the last 3 decades, however since our last flag in 1980, they have won a couple of flags themselves. That's quite good, but I wouldn't call their success, overwhelming.
Back to the theme, they are still a lame club.
Cheers.
