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.

Ahhh yes..

Cheers Nev.

 

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 ❤

Took me a while to find it because it's Caty Price...

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?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
