The Melbourne Football Club is on the verge of its first minor premiership since the invention of colour. 

Yet, we've still not done anything to actively address the dreaded Norm Smith curse, so MFCSS is obviously running hot.

This is a space to let your MFCSS go wild, a deeply pessimistic thread where you'll be supported by like-mind folks. 

Let your damaged imagination run wild. What horrible events will trip us up from now until the last day in September? 

Which is the worst possible injury we will get during our billion-point win over the Crows, obviously in the last two minutes? 

How will the maybe fake Covid-19 global pandemic conspire to rort us and us alone, probably in cahoots with a corrupt AFL?  

What's the worst possible Grand Final day outcome you can conjure, from a twenty goal thrashing to a one-point loss? 

Deliver your very worst. The cruellest of suggested scenarios will win the inaugural MFCSS medal, regardless of outcome. 

 

 

 

I have already mentioned on a post about the disadvantage Covid has done to the Dees .

No worry re the curse as the spirit in the team can not be broken . Did you see the spirit when Thomo had his first run this week . Whatever happens is ok with me .

Where were the Olympics help when the Dees last won a premiership ?

I actually do believe that the North Smith curse has been cleansed.

Very simply, we are from tip to toe a club with a culture to be proud of both as a competitive unit and as human beings.

If we win a premiership, we will deserve it.

 

I’d say in the ultimate twist of irony, the rapture, followed by biblical apocalypse, will occur two minutes prior to the final siren of a grand final Melbourne is leading by 5 goals.
In the cruelest insult of all, Beelzebub himself will manifest himself in the stadium to announce that the match will be called off before devouring the premiership cup and immediately defacating it as a pile of molten slag in front of a bevy of inconsolable Melbourne supporters. :cool:


Clayton Oliver or Max Gawn having a shot for goal from 20 mtrs out directly in front to win the grand final after the siren would be pretty cruel.

Or Spargo anywhere from outside 35.

We will thrash Adelaide and Geelong in our last two H&A games then go out in straight sets in the finals.

I can see us winning the first two finals games in complete control and then on the Grand Final day not kicking a goal until just before half time to be only 9 goals down.    How is that !

 

This is going to sound absolutely nuts, but I foresee a game where we’re 6 goals up in the final quarter, and then the match gets delayed by a freak lightning storm, giving our opponents time to rest and launch a comeback!

Probably never happen I guess.. 


We kick 9-22 but are beaten by Geelongs 12-5

As each gettable set-shot is sprayed left or right our collective hearts sink as we realise the inevitability of what is unfolding in front of our eyes

Super-sub Nathan Jones down on his haunches after missing an after-the siren grand final winning goal, as this rings out across an empty MCG and some kid born in 2002 called Ryan Angwin steps up to collect his premiership medal after a career tally of two touches and one behind:

Sounds like the 2018 finals series.

I recall that Collingwood had some sort of official ceremony when their curse was lifted? 

Feared all year we’d be 3 games clear on top and season pulled

I can't answer to this. It is all too real.

Umpire Nicholls to get the opposition whoever they are across the line.

I'll have a pre-game conniption if that bald [censored] lines up for the Grand Final. So MFCSS.

Gawn could be holding up the premiership cup and I’d still be worried we’d lose.

Dude, you’re not doing MFCSS properly.

 

  • Oliver, Tracktor and May car pool. 
  • Arrive at airport five minutes late.
  • Rest of team arrive in Perth to begin their seven days quarantine after crushing Jeelong by 15 goals in the preliminary at Kardinia Park.
  • The other MCG (McGowan) says "sorry boys", . . . 
  • Deez loose by five points on Robbie Grey's last kick of the day from the hotdog stand after Melksham gives away a 50 metre penalty on the halfback flank (awarded by umpire Nicholls of course).

Post script November . . .

With a premiership and Norm Smith medal secured, Deez offer Robbie Grey 800K for 2022 to be our icing on the cake. He declines, accepting the Suns offer of $1M per year for three years.

  • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

    It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
