Channel 7 Pre Game Promo?

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?

    While we're on Dees content  does anyone have that website that is compiling all the interviews, etc? I can't find it

    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 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?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.
