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. 

Edited by Ethan Trembley

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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
