SPEAKING OF FOOTBALL

It struck me that the ‘Magpies’, Collingwood, won four consecutive VFL premierships in 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. That was incredible!

Those years were the leadup to the 1930s ‘Great Depression’.

100 years on, I doubt that any AFL team will repeat that feat during our upcoming depressionary years: 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030. I’d like it to be the Cats, of course!

[BTW, have you seen the cat? It explains the chart.]
