Superstitions

[13then7]

So with only one more sleep before the big game I started to put in place a couple of my pre game superstitions/rituals. Nothing scary like sacrificing a baby ranga under a full moon to the footy gods but just one or two silly things. This something I picked up at a young age from my mum.

Is anybody interested in sharing their secrets before tomorrows game.

Lets just say I have a Dockers shirt that is a bit on the nose. It has only been washed once and it was the week of round 20 before the Adelaide game. I was furious with the missus who knew no better. Embarrassing that little things like this rule my world, am I the only one.

 

[Ripper]

I have got heaps, but I won't tell you about them until after the GF just in case.

 

[sansian]

We moved into a rental at the beginning of the year and all my freo memorabilia is packed away.......and we made finals......not sure if I put it all up in the new house next month

Purple boxers game day and silver bracelet with club logo.

Oh Crap! do they not work if you reveal them?

Lucky undies, just like the ol' promo for the club. Nice!

 

[Ripper]

I'm not going to take the chance.

Just different possies on the couch depending on the score line, nothing crazy...

.. Or perhaps that's more OCD.

 

[Admiral Byng]

I'm not reading the "Freo will thrash the Crows next week" thread. I'm superstitious about making those sorts of predictions.

 

[Bulldocker]

Wear the black Bonds - and dress to the right!

 

[jedi mind tricks]

No sex before the game... but after

 

[E Shed]

I find we play better if I don't get my scarf out or wear my jumper. I was at a mates house for the Geelong game and Geelong kicked their first goal 30 seconds after his girlfriend rocked up. I told her if they scored again she would have to leave. They thought I was kidding.

 

[DOCKERZ]

Left sock, Right Sock, Left Shoe, Right Shoe...

New one, Fathers day Dockers shirt on. Currently 100%.

To keep my missus away from the Tv for as long as possible. She was playing her guitar against geelong, and she decided to see how the game was going and as soon as she had a look Geelong scored 3 goals. I sent her away and we scored 2. She came back at the start of the 3rd where Geelong scored 3 more goals, so i told her to go away and we scored 4. She decided she wanted to watch history so she stayed for the entire 4th qtr and suprise suprise Geelong kicks 5 goals.

This has happened every game all season. As soon as she enters the room the other team scores. But tonight she will be at work

I previously did a few things during the season but have now finally come to my sense and learnt that what i do doesn't affect the result of the game in any way so why bother.

Things such as:
Never watch a replay or old game during the week.
If we start well wherever people are in the room and things in the room are then thats where they stay.
Always had a shower and shave before the game and wore the same shirt.
Never wear Dockers apparel when watching at home or in the pub.
Never say "we will win" or something similar, or never poked an opposition supporter.

Lock that women in her office until the games done please.

 

[JunglistPosse]

I do not wear any Freo apparel...always ends in tears. It's either in the nuddy tonight or my most nuetral couture.

 

[teamex]

I had a lucky pair of sneakers in 2010, their charm wore off in 2011.
but this year the fyfe jersey goes ok. Last time i didn't wear it was when we played the crows round 20.

rest assured it's on under my work clothes today

During??

Half-time of course.

 

[Nickos66]

I might head down and chuck a pineapple on the Crows to win, that should seal it for us.

 

[13then7]

You pack of weirdo's.

And you're name and avatar is Fyfe. Fyfe mysteriously rolls ankle in freak accident morning of that game. Coincidence?

 

[13then7]

I can confirm it is still crusty this morning. Relax

 

[sportsmaniac89]

Only superstition I have is that I don't like to predict that we can win a game because as soon as I do, we **** it right up and I have egg on my face.

Better to predict wrong and go home happy than predict right and go home shitty*

*This changes when money is at stake

 

[bach]

I bought a new jersey a couple of weeks back and thought this morning maybe Id wear it under my work polo today. But decided against it seeing that I haven't done it this year....dont wanna mess with those footy gods
