Help break the Norm Smith curse

Featured Replies

i am seeking help from all you Demonland demon worshippers, i have been looking up the ancient demon text, on breaking curses this monday is the 31s t of march and on this monday it is a new moon, in the ancient text if this chant is recited at midnight on a new moon if it will end a curse, And it will bring in a new era.

So if many believe, and if many recite the chant at midnight on the 31st of march monday night, when the new moon is in the sky.

oh the man of the underworld, oh dear spirit of norm smith, arise awaken at the sight of a new era,norm smith forgive the past, this is the present a new club, let it once again be great and mighty, let the demons football club rise above the football world, enough time has passed let the healing begin, enough time has passed

So how many believe, so how many will join me and recite the chat.

 

Short of going to his grave and saying "Norm...c'mon mate...enough is enough"or sacrificing a chicken in the centre square @ the G i might as well give it a shot!...I need to see a flag damn it!!!!

I am up for it, although it is past my bedtime!!

 

Can't do any harm. I might need to partake in some prior liquid spirits to attain a state of mind befitting the occasion.

Yelling at Jack Watts to Tackle or Bail to hit a target or just at the team for being so crap hasn't worked so may as well try something different


"Hey Norm you were treated badly...I sympathize with you 100% But now you should rest and enjoy.

50 years is when copyright often runs out.

It is time to hunt down the elusive 13th and not just hope the club doesn't implode.

Can we have big crowds at the MCG again please Norm?"

Do we have to kill a chicken (make and animal sacrifice) and cover ourselves in its blood? Just checkin before I commit.

Buy one from the supermarket......Save a lot of blood and mess....

We should have a lifting of the Norm Smith curse day...Pies did it didnt they...Why cant we do something..

Being a modern man of science I scoff at such superstious mumbo jumbo. On the other hand being a Melbourne supporter come the full moon on the 31st I will chanting the house down. Not only that I will do it naked. I don't know if being starkers will help the cause much, but it can only add to the general ambience of the moment.

Sorry, you have got it wrong.

It is not the Norm Smith curse.

A few years ago I was talking to a bloke from Bonnie Doon and funnily his name is also Norm - seriously.

He said he was there in 64, towards the end of the game he said, "I don't care if we never win another flag just give us this one".

Maybe he got his wish?

I will take a chook to his place on the way to the match on Sunday.

and why not also bring that friendly cat from next door MD?


I hope this involes drinking lots of beer afterwards

The spirit of Norm Smith unfortunately can't make it - something about a calf strain - 4-6 weeks.

Well desperate times call for desperate measures...

I was in Italy last year about the same time the Paul Roos coaching decision was being made. I went into every church I walked passed in Italy and Croatia and lit so many candles and sent a silent prayer each time praying for Paul Roos to be the Melbourne coach. My knees were sore from so much kneeling.

Stranger things have happened so why not?

I'm all for superstitious mumbo jumbo, but can we please spare the chooks?

Before, during and after! If I'm going to be up that late better stock the fridge!

This is serious Mr Rhode Island Red. Surely you would sacrifice a distant relative for a flag.

I have twice offered my mother in law for sacrifice, the silly old chook.

I'm all for superstitious mumbo jumbo, but can we please spare the chooks?

and the poor calves too

and the poor calves too

Another Dawes report???

 

Help break the Norm Smith curse

It is probably THE only thing at our club what seems to be totally unbreakable !!

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
