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?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
