I think it started at the Hobart Indoor Bowls Centre in 2001.  After believing all season they were the best team in the comp and even after a grand final mid-game intervention by Stadium Owner Etihad McKibben, the boys from Kermandie of course, went down! 
And the winners were - the Partisans!
Now, the proud boys of Kermandie footy club are no more - was it the Fremantle jumper or the choking tag fixed by Why does He do it Rodd Banks Smith?  No, it was being crushed by the Partisans.
