He has been a member of 12 League premierships with St Marys 5 in a row from 1983/84 to 1987/88, 3 in a row from 1989/90 to 1991/92 and 4 in a row from 1993/94 to 1996/97.  Michael was also a member of Saints loosing 1981/82, 1982/83, 1992/93, 1997/98 and 1998/99 Grand Final teams.

 

Michael was club captain from 1991/92 to 1994/95 winning the clubs Best and Fairest aware in 1982/83, 1983/84 and 1990/91.
