Omen and coincidences thread - 2025 edition

Round 8 2011 - Geelong defeat Collingwood by 3 points. I think that game also had some controversy in it.

 

[The Unforgiven]

In 2011, the only side Collingwood lost to was Geelong. Three times, including the Grand Final.

2025, Collingwood has only lost to Geelong and GWS. GWS wasn't in the competition in 2011, so the omen still stands.

Round 8 2011 - Geelong defeat Collingwood by 3 points. I think that game also had some controversy in it.

And we all know what happened after that.

A 90 point thumping and then a GF win to boot.

2022 Federal election. 21 May 2022. Labor and Geelong won. Geelong Premiers.
2025 Federal election. 3 May 2025. Labor and Geelong won.

 

[The rabbi]

2022 Federal election. 21 May 2022. Labor and Geelong won. Geelong Premiers.
2025 Federal election. 3 May 2025. Labor and Geelong won.

I am hoping for a Geelong premiership this year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of our then, first VFL premiership.

This is a superstition:

Geelong scarves are only ever washed before or after the season.

Extraordinarily bad luck to wash it during the season.

Round 9, 2022....



Round 9. 2025....

 

[PhatBoy]

Need a lot to go right beyond just coincidences to win from here but the good thing is we have shown we can compete with the two likely candidates, one of them while we were missing some out and our frontliners, will get our third major test against the Dogs. The bad news is we’ve dropped games we probably shouldn’t have, and still can’t string 4 quarters together and haven’t really solved the riddle of how to get a functional best 22 on the park who are all playing a contributing role, and we may not at all.

 

[Turkey Tom]

Another coincidence from Winty's post. In Round 10 2022, that started the winning streak, we played Port Adelaide.

 

[winty]

This is getting into Twilight Zone territory....

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

2022 Federal election. 21 May 2022. Labor and Geelong won. Geelong Premiers.
2025 Federal election. 3 May 2025. Labor and Geelong won.

Further to that -

2007 - Kevin07 Kevin Rudd's Labor wins and so do Geelong. 119!!

2025 - 100th anniversary of their

Let's make this very simply - you're a main board poster and not a Geelong poster

Don't care to see your BS nonsense around here - move on

[standupand]

Hardly an omen. Just fact that GC have been shit for their entire existence.

 

[winty]

Last two times we beat North by 100+ points, we went on to win the flag (2007 and 2022).

 

[winty]

Can add Brisbane to that list too.

 

[winty]

Drawing a long bow here, but here's another couple:

• Melbourne and West Coast played at Marvel yesterday, which was the first time they've met at the venue since 2011.
• Logan Morris kicked 6 goals at the MCG last night. The last time a Brisbane player kicked 6 goals at the MCG was Jonathan Brown back in 2007.

We all know what happened both those years...

's assistant coaches got a senior gig at another club we won the flag.

 

[Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever]

I see 2:22pm and 2:22am most days, got tickets in 2022 ballot and won GF 2022.

Keep seeing 2:22pm and 2:22am in the past week does that mean I get GF tickets and we win GF again?!

Also Rafael Nadal won the AO in 2022 he was my favourite tennis player for yrs.

222 is a lucky number!

 

[cats_09]

This is one of those personal type omens, but one I've been monitoring over the past fortnight

Today is the 32nd anniversary of my dad's death - he's the reason I'm a sports mad idiot who bleeds blue & white

Tonight was our 3rd match/prelim on the 19th September since his passing and we've kept our perfect record going 3-0 on this date since 1993

I'm not a religious person, but part of me feels that wherever he is, he's looking over our matches on this date

 

[winty]

Footscray beat the Hawks by 5 goals in the VFL preliminary before going on to beat a side from Queensland in the grand final.

We beat the Hawks by 5 goals in the Prelim and face a side from Queensland in the grand final...
