For anyone who thinks that the curse or Norm Smith doesn't exist.. Here is proof that it does.

WCE Points For - 1964 (melb last flag)

WCE Pointe Agsinst - 1858 (the year we were founded)

I'm never one for extreme actions but if ritual sacrifice of descendants of that Board is seen as going too far then perhaps we dig up the remains of the Board members, chrematoriumise and sprinkle on the G.

I am very superstitious - this has given me goose bumps.

Yeah, no.

If you want to talk real curses, how about the 22 imposters that ran our onto the ground on Saturday. They jinxed the club massively with their "efforts" on the weekend.

There is a curse on this club. The Norm Smith Curse from his sacking, The Barassi curse from his defection, whatever you want to call it. We are two clubs in one, titans up until 1965, pussycats from thereafter. 

The curse of the Bambino was so well documented with the Boston Red Sox. Maybe this one needs to be constantly brought to attention. Oh no that's right we don't pay much attention to history or losing streaks or hoodos. It's just like any other game.

Yikes! And in 1934 Richmond our ninth alter ego won the flag. There's a tip. I think we may be cherry ripe for 2035

Godammit. Does that mean our next flag won't be until 2035 (AFLX)? I'm going to need to either drink less or drink more if I'm going to make it till then.

The curse of this club is the late 80's/90's, it hangs over everything that has happened since....Hollywood Boulevard, the failed merger the odd even years of the Daniher times, Gutnick, CS...

These are the things that are still surviving (just) and have an impact on the culture of the club as it sits now.

Forget the so called Norm Smith curse now, there is no doubt that the mid to late 60's through the 70's were badly effected by decisions made after '64.

...but have no doubt our current woes go back to more recent times and one of the key players sits on his high horse and criticises the current group.

Things are being worked through now but it seems a bit more time is needed.

I have stood in front of the statue of Norm in the avenue leading to the G before each game and asked him to lift the curse. On Sunday before the Richmond v St kilda game I again went to visit him. It was quite unnerving. As I stared up into his face a huge black cloud passed behind him and appeared to surround him. Within moments the heavens opened. It worried me that much that I called my wife and told her. Next time you walk by observe his hands, his fingers are making the missed it by that much symbol. Collingwood buried the wobbles at Vic Park maybe every supporter needs to stop and talk to Norm on they way to the G.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
