Did anyone see the pre promo that Channel 7 had going? It was mostly around the Norm Smith curse.

It was very spine tingling and was a pretty power video.

Did anyone see it and can anyone upload on here please?

    I saw it and thought it was pretty good. Funny that the Lions didn't get 'equal time'.

    The lions don't have a 57 year premiership to break.

    Who was on the committee that sacked Norm Smith?

    Who sacks a coach after 6 premierships.  Reigning premiers.  
    win record 9-2 in 11 games. 
    won the first 8. 
     

    it was all about jeolously and egos

    board thought he was getting too powerful

    I'm hardly a superstitious person, but if we win this year's flag, I might believe that the curse is/was real.

    How long has it been since we won our last premiership - 57 years

    How old was Norm Smith when he passed away - 57 years

    Spooky...

    Interesting as well that Norm Smith coached Barassi, who in turn coached Blight, who then coached Goodwin. It's as if Norm Smith passed his coaching ability down the line and it has finally returned home to Melbourne.

    Not sure how many follow Cathy Price on instagram. (Brad Greens partner) If you jump on her instgram she's uploaded a video of him in tears watching this exact video.

    Not only does this mean to the supporters but we forget it means just as much to the past players of the club ❤

    I’ve always wanted to see the pre game promo for the 2018 elimination final. Very emotional from memory.

    The MFC was part of the MCC at that point and so it was the MCC Committee that sacked Smith I believe.

    You guys would understand the Norm Smith impact more.

    For us that weren't around at that time I think for the first time watching that promo made really realise the impact it's had on this footy club.

    You’re right Daz. I was too young to remember the actual day Norm was sacked, but it was still big news as i got older during the 70’s. 
    Imagine if Hawthorn sacked Clarko Mid Season 2016

    It was a HUGE Story

    The MCC Board did it…

    watch this

    The Channel 7 one is brilliant. Really captures the pain we've all felt as fans over the past 20 years especially.

    Am I right in saying a few of the fan snippets were from Round 2, 2013 after the 150 point defeat to Essendon?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
