Opinion Superstition

[sansian]

This is the only superstition I have time for, don't be a little girl

There are some slick funky dance moves. Haven't seen that clip for a while

Should I mention that the team has never won an away game that I've been at and I have guaranteed grand final tickets?

If you're really worried, and I miss out in the ballot I'm sure I can take those off your hands. Just to put your mind at ease of course, not for my own self interest ....

In the beginning of 2010 I bought a Freo flag and flag pole, but never got around to putting it up. Later on in the year, I bought a framed team poster. The day I put it up Barlow broke his leg. Ever since then I have always worried about putting up my Freo memorabilia.

When I put my team poster and signed jumper up this year, Pav got suspended.

I so want to put up the flag in celebration of this year, but I am so worried it might jinx the team just when it may all come together.

Stupidity or valid fear?

Best to wait till after the gf. A better use might be to run the flag up over parliament though !

 

[Tbonefreo]

Im not superstitious... well maybe a little stitious

 

[Aussiblood]

Have you ever thought that the other memorabilia is cursed because the flagpole is not operational?

All said and done BeinPurplenGreen nailed it.

Me too... but I've only ever been to two away games.

One was a derby in the 90's when I was a kid, and the other was our worst ever loss when Scott Cummings kicked the ball over my head 14 times (or so it felt).

Since we most likely won't be playing the eagles this year, I'm pretty confident my curse won't continue. And technically the GF isn't an away game anyway*

*should we make it that far

**knock on wood of course

***not that I'm superstitious obviously

 

[leeloo]

Can we include omens in this thread?

I planted some randomly selected petunias a few weeks back. They flowered a few days back, first flower was purple and white

 

[Purple Jesus]

Went for a wine in the swan valley. Umbrellas over the tables.

Some were white... others were... purple!

sansian,
Ever thought of raising the flag on a non-training, non-travelling Wednesday?

 

[estibador]

Better yet sansian, buy yourself a dozen Swans and Hawks flags and put them up everywhere you can.

There were signs for me before the Geelong game. I don't believe in any bish bosh, hocus pocus and I'm not superstitious at all.

BUT.....

I was reading a book and while i was reading this book my mind wondered a little and i asked the footy gods for a sign of who was going to win. The very next sentence had the phrase " and then that damn cat got lost in the purple haze." Kinda freaked me out a bit.

I also dreamt we would win by 13 points. My dreams have never ever lied to me about winning (but I've only ever had the one dream about the Dockers winning

 

[sij1981]

Trust me superstitions do work, i also asked for signs of who was going to win when I was praying then switched on my Bollywood TV and every talent show I watched the contestants wore Purple !!! must be a sign. Remember this is bollywood so they dont care about footy !!! and yet they wore purple not 1 but all contestants.

 

[refresh]

Have I mentioned (yes) that I have only been to Geelong twice and have a perfect record.

I just have to make sure I remember which particular pair of purple undies and striped Freo socks I was wearing for the QF, and all will be fine.

I'd wear a bit more than that though. It might be raining and rather cold

I'm convinced the when the pelicans sit on the street lights on the canning bridge, we win. The greater the number of pelicans, the bigger the win...

Rarely lets me down, oh, and that 2011 scarf and....
