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.... ::)

OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

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

Must be a somber mood in the Ramps household at the moment.

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.

That North have no fans and you're a lousy stinkin' turncoat? That's common knowledge.

Are you sure he spelt turncoat correctly?  :lol
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Its gonna be a long season Monky you better get used to it  ;D   As for Doc, we should all rock up and be his patients, we can all go in talk about the footy and get depressed together, he still gets paid by Medicare and we get to discuss our emotional problems. Everyone wins  :lol
