Clearly I don't believe it to be the reason.

If I did i would advocate for him to be appointed Coach, mo64 would probably argue that even after passing, Norm would be a better coach than Bailey.

I think it just makes for interesting discussion. To point to the lengths some teams endures, and hear interesting "rationale" for it from supporters.

I wrote that post inferring that you would definitely call the MFC "curse", the cure of Norm Smith.

Once beaten, it's magically gone. Of course that's the case, but it makes for interesting reading.

I for one don't mind hearing a bit of "magic" in sport, like the curse of the Black Sox.

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

ooooo yeahhh!

They were down 3-0 against the Yankees in 2004 and went on to win the world series from there

They were down 3-1 against the Indians in 2007 and went on to win the world series from there

They were down 3-1 agains the Jays in 2008 and hopefully WILL go on to win from there!

*goes on singing* "Well I love that dirty water.....oooohhh Boston your my home!"

:lol:Ha, ha. True.

Back onto the baseball. It's a shame that Grant Balfour was the pitcher when the rot set in for Tampa Bay.

Last year I made the mistake of betting on baseball. The saying "It ain't over till it's over", truelly applies to baseball. I had my heart and wallet broken many a time with 9th innings comebacks.

I really think the club should use this as a marketing tool. get behind the club and break the curse... maybe not next year but in three years when we are playing finals

You are onto a great idea there. Does the Club have a direct discussion Website?? Some of the Topics on here should be directly handballed to them. others of course should get nowhere near them. I like the idea of getting Norm Smith involved iin our next tilt. Bet he would love it to.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
