I played a C grade game against them in A10 in 2000 I think. They beat us at Ovingham's oval (from distant memory). They made the final four but were 'disqualified' (not sure of the official term) for owing the SAAFL money. They never paid it from what I heard, and were promptly de-registered.

Please understand, this is what I heard playing for an opposition club at the time, I have no idea whether this is actually what happened, but I do know they didn't resurface the next year.
