COLLINGWOOD president Eddie McGuire will move to fourth on the list of longest-serving club presidents if he sees out the three-year term he will begin at the club's February AGM.
The Magpies president will be elected unopposed to a further three-year term at Collingwood's AGM on Monday week.
He has served the Magpies for 18 seasons since starting in the role late in 1998, aged just 34, and has overseen enormous growth in the club during his tenure.
The Magpies recorded their 16th consecutive profit at the end of last year.
Only three former club presidents rank ahead of McGuire in the list of long-serving club presidents.
Ahead of him are legendary former Collingwood president Harry Curtis, who served the club for 27 years from 1924-1950, erstwhile Cats president Jack Jennings, who was at the Cats for 26 seasons between 1945-1970, and one of McGuire's old sparring partners Richard Colless, who served West Coast for one season and Sydney for 21.
Colless made a seamless transition to current Swans president Andrew Pridham at the end of 2013.
With Collingwood's nominations for board positions closing on Tuesday afternoon with no one contesting the positions, McGuire will attack the season with big decisions on the horizon.
Magpies coach Nathan Buckley comes out of contract at the end of the season and has already declared that he is unlikely to remain in the job if Collingwood doesn't make finals.
The current three-year stint without a finals appearance is equal to the Magpies' longest run without playing a final while McGuire has been president.
