Please don't compare the Magpies to the MCC. It still turns my stomach that Collingwood won it this year. I am still in recovery.

You 'll be bloody spewing for many years to come then. Maggies are there to stay at the bloody top for a long long long time mate!

One (1) premiership every twenty years at the current pace. I can reluctantly live with that.

JaK,

I am surprised by your lack of loyalty to St Kilda. Are you not a patriot any more?

No skites in your family.

Nevertheless the Melbourne Chess Club has come a long way under your stewardship.

Keep up the good work.

One Premiership every 20 years is not good. Four straight final appearances - that is good!
