Wow! The Leafs haven't made the finals since 1967. At least we can top that one and we have an even better record than a few other unfortunate teams. Interesting.

I didn't know we had a curse at Mfc?! That's a first for me. Norm Smith?

Cheers Rogue. To me he is our legend of Melbourne and the game, not our curse.

NORM SMITH CURSE OF THE DEMONS

Our Premiership drought is definitely the Curse of Norm Smith.

You don't really need to go into detail in the title. The curse of the bambino does not have to be called, the curse of trading the "bambino" to the yankees.

So when we lost '88, '00 - did we all think, "oh, its the curse of Norm Smith again...?"

if you don't understand it, there is no need to get defensive.

the curse of trading the "bambino" to the yankees.

Haha, somehow I don't think that'd have the same ring to it.

Wow...surprised we got a mention there.

haha.

the curse of trading the "bambino" to the yankees.

remmber the curse of a soccerroos and when john safran undid the curse in Africa, since then been all good for them

i thought it was also the barassi one , barassi left in 1964, last premiership ,, 1964, that what my friend says anyway

what is the actual curse??

what is the actual curse??

end of the curse

end of the curse

ok, having read that, what do we have to do to reverse our curse?

Luck, and players willing to give their heart and soul into the team and the journey.

My black...white sox broke their curse in '05 with a team wholy commited to the cause. Boston broke theirs with players that seemed to epitomise team play, then Johnny Damon fcuked off the to Yankees (sellout).

The curse is not Barassi, we were 7-0 when we fired Smith weren't we? Then even after re-hiring him, we didn't even make the finals.

Just like that, the brightest light in Australian Football history was turned off, and didn't even flicker again until 1987

It had clouded over by 4:45!! I recall that day so well. Brilliant

hmm philly makes the world series

will the curse continue

Tampa Bay are on a roll though

can the red sox bounce back hmm prob not

You need to look up the '04 ALCS series then!

Not as dramatic, but you should also look at their '07 ALCS, also 3-1 down in that. Wouldn't write them off, especially at Fenway

I have always believed in the Norm Smith Curse. The MFC lost its "Mojo" that Day. Northey almost got it back. (Good man John Northey) but failed ultimately.

Re igniting our ties with the MCC is a good start.

There you go G n J.

Boston, down 3-1 in the seris and 7-0 in the match.

Middle of the 7th inning, 7-0 down. Never underestimate the Red Sox at Fenway. They won 8-7.

It seems they haven't just broken their curse, they've blown it away

The famous Kennedy family in the US are cursed accroding to the media.

Everytime one of them dies the media says See the curse continues. <_<

Your post 45 has the same ring to it. Smith's departure was just a part of the tragedy that unfolded in the 1960s.
