I am not one to believe in omens or other claptrap, however.....

Cycling to work today through Glen Waverley I was swooped on by a magpie.

As it is the 31st of August, and therefore still winter, I can declare that the magpies are getting ahead of themselves and that they may have peaked a little early this year.

I am now checking to see if Nostradamus said something like "and the magpie did come tumbling down in the first half of preliminary as the saints made their way past to snatch the most holiest of grails"

Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself!

How about we worry about things we can control and our own backyard and let others' worry about themselves.

If you're worried about things your club can control and it's own backyard, what the hell are you wasting time for over on our club's forum

Yeah, that's good logic. How much control do you think you actually have over anything that happens in the world of AFL footy?

I had a dream the other night where we met the Weagles in the GF and won by a massive margin. It's the first dream I can remember after waking up for years. I'm hoping if thats right the next one involves lottery numbers.

Nice dream but can't happen anyway as we are on same side of the draw

Actually, sorry... Just realized I'm wrong!!

Of course it can happen. When they lose to the pies they go on the other side of the draw. It wont happen though because nether side will get there.

Has your foot recovered yet Saint Dooley?

Let's remember that Collingwood have not won a premiership in September since 1958.
Both GF's they have won we're in October, as we sadly remember from last year.
Unfortunately this year's GF is in October, let's hope they crash around prelim time.

"Both GF's they have won we're in October"

Since '58 or before? Could u clarify as your post is a tad unclear.

hate magpies

desertsaint · Thu 01 Sep 2011 11:05pm

it would be an omen if mary mckillop suddenly flew down upon wings, swooped the magpie up and flew off into the clouds.
later you see a dead magpie in the gutter, next to a cat with the blues, it looks at the bird, then up at you and says, a saint killed her.

58 was the filth's last September flag.

Why not substitute the word "we" with "you" and "our" with the word "your"?

Mods, perhaps taking away this poster's false Sainthood is in order, so they can just be referred to as just Tash?

Did the magpie also drop a message on you? That is also a very auspicious thing to happen.

Magpies really give me the willies though. A lot like Filth supporters.
