sporting curses

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

Read the excellent book, 'The Red Fox' for full details.

Cheers Bobby. Will certainly do.

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.
