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

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

Bring back the Lockett era
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.

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.

Last year...
Purchased 50" Plasma week before game.Set it up in the downstairs footy room....decorated myself,my daughters and the room with anything i could find in SAINTS colors.
Heaps of people invited......pretty much all out last year.
Last week....heaps of people around again,but just myself and the Bro,no SAINTS gear on either of us,in my shed,fire going,cold beer and in front of an old 68cm ............nearly worked
Tomorrow........Bro away on Footy trip,a few others invited....not sure what to do. Will probably end up in the workshop in front of a 34cm......I'm lost.

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...
