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 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?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
