Supporter Superstitions

[IddyBiddy]

Was chatting with a friend the other day about our first ever football game which turned to the first ever Crows game. I remember in 2001 my ma shipping me off to my first game with a pack of fruitingle mini packs. Now every game i go to i buy a pack, its a tradition more than superstition. My mate was saying whenever he wears AFC colours to away games they lose, so he never wears the colours... anyone else got any traditions or superstitions??

Pretty much the first game I attend nothing, but if they win I wear the exact same everything the next game I go to. They lose I change it all up. I thought I was on to a winning combination in 2006 but was crushing in the preliminary final. I even refused to roll my sleeves up that day despite feeling quite hot, just because I wanted to be exactly the same as I was two weeks before vs. Fremantle.

Pathetic really.

 

[PsyCrow23]

Always wear the colours on game day ...always

 

[Brett_Burton_#24]

I've got a few a couple like the ones already posted like i never wear the colours on match day and i wear the same thing i wore the previous week if we won that week but one that i have that's bit strange is before the match starts i play my AFL Premiership PS2 game with the exact teams and at the same place with the same conditions and i have to finish the match before the actual match starts

 

[Smoooothy]

not much really, just wear the same jeans, jocks, and socks

and if i'm watching at home, i have to sit on the same chair, otherwise we start losing

 

[Mad Dog]

2 things

always wear the same t-shirt to the footy

if at home watching - and we badly need a goal - I go for a leak - and we always score..... This is based on the premise of Murphy's Law

 

[ICanDressMyself]

When I'm watching the boys at home, the garage out the back has to be up at all times and when I'm sitting on the couch I have to always be sitting next to the green cushion. Volume also has to be on level 20.

 

[Gets!]

Hahaha.

Never wear underwear to the footy and have a bat in the morning.

whats cricket got to do with this???

oh, forgot one more thing

the missus and the kids can't be in the same room as me!!

 

[IddyBiddy]

My mother needs to give her dog a high five after every goal.

 

[Seanason]

every season i buy a dog - if we lose i cook & eat the dog and buy a new one for the next week.

Any dog that wins us the premiership is put out to stud.

So business as usual then?

 

[KUNG FU]

I always wear my guernsey with nothing under it. If it gets cold I put a jumper over, even if that means I'm not showing the colours. A shirt or jumper underneath ruins it.

If anyone comments on what they think the result is going to be, before or during the game, "I think we are going to win/lose", I kill them.

 

[Damp Squarie]

3 Victorian umpires normally makes me cringe then losing the toss when a gale is blowing is usually a precursor for a hammerin'.

Kung Fu I hate it too when they score the first two goals and the missus goes..."Aw we are gonna get thrashed"

 

[-CG-]

I don't do anyting too over the top, always have to be wearing my guernsey, crows bracelets/wristbands..although thats more just habbit.

lol classic

 

[KingsCrow]

During the Prelim final in 2005 the whole family was watching the game. After three quater time they gave up and left the room. I started spitting chips and threw a pillow at the TV...only moments later we scored a goal.

That cushion stayed there for the rest of the game.


Watching the Crows in the finals is the most stressful thing ever. Threw a bloody 2 litre bottle of water at the ground when Franklin kicked that goal this year. Was a bit wet afterwards


I was shattered

 

[fightingdreamer88]

Eugh that Hawthorn final ripped my heart out. It looked like we were going to pull away and do something similar to what we did at AAMI but in true red clash guernsey fashion we stopped dead for a large portion of the game and let the opposition take hold.

My main superstition is that I must buy Hungry Jack's every time I go to the footy. Oddly enough it has a 100% success rate so far. Every game at home that we won, I bought HJ's. Every game we lost, I didn't. Total coincidence sure but it gives FD88 an excuse to buy junk food every week.
