Luck, and players willing to give their heart and soul into the team and the journey.
My black...white sox broke their curse in '05 with a team wholy commited to the cause. Boston broke theirs with players that seemed to epitomise team play, then Johnny Damon fcuked off the to Yankees (sellout).
The curse is not Barassi, we were 7-0 when we fired Smith weren't we? Then even after re-hiring him, we didn't even make the finals.
Just like that, the brightest light in Australian Football history was turned off, and didn't even flicker again until 1987
