And apart from new kids on the block West Coast, Carlton is the only team to enjoy a superior win/loss record against the Magpies, winning 119 clashes to 106 with four drawn.

And Jesaulenko, of course, was a key figure in two of the Blues' greatest triumphs against the Magpies after firstly inspiring Carlton to come from 44 points down at half-time to win the 1970 grand final with his legendary mark in the second term and then leading the Blues to a thrilling five point win over the Magpies in the 1979 grand final.
