Skuit 10,031 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 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. Quote
Craig Hutchinson 126 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 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 ? 1 Quote
Little Goffy 14,963 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 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. 2 Quote

Guest Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 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.

Bring-Back-Powell 15,547 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited August 14, 2021 by Bring-Back-Powell 3 3 Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,388 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) We will thrash Adelaide and Geelong in our last two H&A games then go out in straight sets in the finals. Edited August 14, 2021 by Ethan Trembley 4 1 Quote
640MD 3,568 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 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 ! 1 Quote

Grapeviney 9,929 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 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.. 2 5 Quote
BDA 23,048 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 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 Quote

Skuit 10,031 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Posted August 14, 2021 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: 1 Quote

Queanbeyan Demon 7,023 Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) 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. Edited August 14, 2021 by Queanbeyan Demon Typo 1 Quote
