superstitions!

[steve4445]

Hey guys, they had this thread on the Hawks board that is me all over!

It sounds crazy but I am extremely superstitious when it comes to watching the football even though realistically i know that my actions have no bearing on the game, what are some of your superstitions?

Mine can change game to game but one that sticks every game is my teal jocks that i have, ill always wear them on game day.

Other ones on game day can vary from the way i sit if we have a good run and i change spots and momentum shift i have to go back to the way i was, just recently against freo in round 23 my fiance started sweeping the floor in the last quarter where we started our comeback and she stopped sweeping and i got annoyed because she wouldn't continue sleeping (she thought i was mad), I made coffee in the recent final at half time and we played a good 3rd quarter, so i had another at the start of the 4th.

Used to have a pre game ritual of Gloria jeans at Aami before the game until we went to a Gloria jeans in Melbourne before the 07 gf - couldn't go back after that.

what are some of the things you do or am i just a nut?

am i just a nut?

You are Port Adelaide.

Otherwise you are totally sane.

Keep up the routine

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I just know that if a Magpie crosses my path during the week (as it did last week) then we are sure to win

I'll keep you posted this week.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Never wash my guernsey after a win, only a loss. (This is my main one and is adhered to without fail)

Got a pair of black and teal socks on Fathers Day... Wore them against Richmond... Wore them again on Saturday night (without washing them)... Will have them ready to go again this week (again without washing them) (ew, 3 wears)

Listen to the same songs on my way home from work after a big win every day for the entire week.

Haven't thrown my Richmond final tickets out yet.

I have to masturbate at least 3 times before a game

 

[RossFC]

I always wear my lucky blue jacket and lucky long black tracksuit pants (Maybe it's not lucky but it's comfortable haha).
I also wear one of the NTUA or Never Ever Give Up shirts under my Power or Maggies Guernsey.

 

[finbarr]

I like to have a single plum floating in perfume and served in a mans hat.

I have to masturbate at least 3 times before a game

At my age that would require me to start the routine the day before the game.

I will never record a game live. Ever.

Here's yours for the Hawks game

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I'm one displaced behaviour away from being Mr Monk.

 

[finbarr]

Here's yours for the Hawks games

Wow! Someone else does it too!!!

 

[Jones2ByrneJones]

I only started watching the game in the second half.

I am the reason we won.

 

[RossFC]

I always enter Power games from the South gate.

I always enter Power games from the South gate.

Coincidentally that's also the only way I enter your mother.

That and my dog started licking his balls when Derm said Freo would win at half time. My dogs a brilliant judge of character!

My Girlfriend and I attended every home game together up until round 14.
She then left on a holiday to visit friends and came back just after the Collingwood game at the G.

She'll be unchained and free to roam again in just under 2 weeks.

... what are some of the things you do or am i just a nut?

I watched the Freo game at Alberton wearing exactly the same clothes I'd worn to the Richmond final. I even had my game ticket lanyard on early on, but then felt a bit too much of a duck and put it in my pocket hoping the footy gods would understand.
When we had the mid year run of losses my mate walked up to me at a game and said "I've had to burn an awful lot of clothes these last few weeks." No explanation needed of course.

 

[SgtSchulz]

When watching AFL and the Fox Footy commentators are doing the game I put it on mute. Not really a superstition, they're just * heads.

 

[Winestoppable]

Whatever ear I have my earphone in from the start, must be the same for the whole game. Same as my seat, can't swap seats during the game.

 

[RossFC]

For away games I always record the game and start watching about 30-45 mins after the game has started so then I can fast forward the ads between quarters. Always ends up being live just in time for the last quarter.

Just as I was about to leave to attend the EF against Richmond, I sat and watched the 03' PF for the first time in years (no idea what the inclication for that was for). The same disappointment I felt that day could still be felt all these years later, but made me realise how our current group of players may not be as powerhouse as that 03' team just yet, but that we're just more confident, determined, and have a youthful optimism to attack the contest with every chance we get.

So not sure if what you as a supporter do before a game has any bearing on the end result if what I did is anything to go by lol.
