Oooh Matron!!

The article says, "Six months later they were holding up the premiership cup after breaking the second-longest active drought."

Wasn't our 57 years the longest active drought at the time? Or does he mean the second-longest active drought ever? Because that can't be right. Off the top of my head St Kilda waited 69 years (1897-1966) for their first flag and Sydney were 70+ years before they won in 2004.  And the Bulldogs were 62 years between their two premierships.

Cut the poor bloke some slack here.  Ronny might have seen a picture of the black and blue Port Adelaide jumper and thought that University were still in the competition.

Just win one at the G fellas.
