Few took notice when Drake repped a Melbourne knit in an Instagram post back in September 20, 2018, and why would they - they Drake curse was still in its infancy.

But looking back on the Hotline Bling singers post, it's little wonder the Dees 2019 season has plummeted to the depths of football supporter hell, as they've appear to have become another victim of one of Sports most famous hoodoos rivalling the Bambino vex that crippled the Boston Red Sox, and the AFL's own famous malediction - the curse of David Hale's hair.

Melbourne Football Club are not alone, with others to fall foul of the Drake curse being his beloved Toronto Raptors, the previously invincible Alabama Crimson Tide, Serena Williams and Conor McGregor.

Additionally, the news doesn't look good for Game of Thrones fans or the Night King slayer, Arya Stark, either, with Drake seemingly going out of his way to throw her a shoutout at the Billboard Music Awards yesterday. One can only assume she'll be resting in the Winterfell Crypt before weeks end.

As for Demons supporters, it's still not known how long the curse takes hold, but what we do know is, no team or individual has beaten it yet.
