How superstitious are you

I generally become extremely superstitious during finals time.. and of course in a grand final it goes a bit overboard.

Anyway just wanted to say last week when we were getting smashed a bit at the start.. was getting heaps of texts
then when we started dominating i got less texts and when i got no texts at all during the 3rd quarter ..they couldn't score a goal.
there just seemed to be a correlation between texts received and how well we did throughout the game lmao

also I get paranoid with how tight i do my shoe laces and the placement of my bag and the contents in it..its nuts

I think about which my lucky jumper is. Fortunately I've not noticed a pattern between wearing certain jumpers and winning or losing.

I keep on asking for that Hayes fellow to be selected in the side and they keep on picking him

Will be wearing the same clothes as last week (already washed and ready - not usually the 'done' thing for a female to wear the same outfit 2 weeks in a row but for the Saints I will make an exception.

).

Not usually superstitious, but I don't feel like messing with the footy gods this week!

Last year everything was supersticious,then we lost on Gf day

Last weeks Gf day I mixed it up completly to confuse the gods. I wore my unlucky new saints top that has only a 50% strike rate on game day. I walked the unlucky way from the Precinct to the G,and lastly,wait for it,I wore black and white jocks...

This week,if i get a ticket,I'm streaking

Every time I have the body paint done we draw.

What does that mean for this week?

I bought a number 7 jumper before the prelim. In the end I couldn't leave my number 18 jumper at home so I wore it underneath.

I wore the same to the GF but I was sitting in the sun so at three quarter time I took off the 7 and was wearing just the 18. If it changed the course of the game I couldn't tell.

I'll be wearing the same this week but I won't be in the sun so I expect the 7 will stay on for the duration of the match.

I haven't had this problem before because I've only had a set of St Kilda gear I wear every week. The pressure is getting to me.

Lost my scarf on the morning of GF1...Well atleast that was the morning I realised I couldn't find it

This week, I still haven't been able to find it, so what does all this mean? I have no idea.

There was a dead magpie on the ground a couple of houses up earlier this week.
Felt sorry for the bird but hope it represents what will happen to the team it represents.

My wife is the one in the house that thinks that everything she does can have a bearing on how the team plays. She won't let me talk them up in case some kind of metaphysic force in the universe sends bad luck our way.

See omens in little things around the streets etc. I got over it in 1997 after as a young man I got around in lucky saints socks, routine for all the games etc. After it didn't work out I realised that you need to have a lot of faith in a team you have no control over.

I certainly did not wear the jacket that I wore to the 2009 GF to the game last week, nor will I be wearing it this week.

The last two seasons, the Saints seem to play better(but not necessarily win) when I leave the room, if the game is live on tv.

I get wild when the opposition kicks goals and forges ahead. I have the philosophy - like Zaphod Beeblebrox's black glasses - that what I can't see will not be able to hurt me...
