LOL! Here we go again! Alf is going to love this topic! I think he has explained this about 10 times. I think it means 'let the magpies prosper' in latin. The old Club motto. |

Can someone else answer this ...
OK. The short answer is:
May the Magpies prosper.
(or something similar)
But the Latin is slightly incorrect ... but it's close enough for Collingwood, I s'pose.
Can someone dig up Richard Stremski's post on this. I had a bit of a look for it, but I couldn't find it.

Thanks Mike.
No doubt you'll have to dig it out again next time someone asks. Ah well.
It still reminds me of the "Romans go home" scene in Life of Brian.
