Pre-match rituals and superstitions

My usual ritual for an away game if it is friday night footy is as follows - I have to have my traditional friday lunch of a chicken burger and chips whilst reading the paper, leave work early, get home, put on my away jersey (I assume we will be in away strip tonight), crack open a beer and light up a smoke to calm the nerves, settle down on the couch to watch the end of Millionaire Hot Seat, crack open another beer, watch Nine News to see the live cross to Wally at the SFS, continue with beers till kick off.

That said, I think I'm going to be a lot more nervous tonight than usual.
 
Long story short, by kick off you are blind haha. Join the club haha

I try to keep a lid on it till kick off - usually blind on a friday by midway through the second game when the bottle of rum comes out of the cupboard.
 
You animal you haha. I barely make it through the first game if I get home to early ha.
 
Road trip to hervey bay it is, better set out at lunch time i reckon...
Just block the roundabout leading to the pointy end of Hervey Bay with and overturned sulfuric acid B-double... :rockon:

That would probably do us normal drivers a favour TBH

The other ritual my friend has, is that he has a Manly hat that he doesn't wash, but wears every day. He bought his current one in 06 and said he would wash it until we won the grand final. It all build from there, and he washed it the week after the 2008 grand final, and look what has happened since, particularly 2009. I have as such banned him from washing it again
 
Back in the 90s, I used to pray to allahn langer five times a day
 
I wear the jersey I wore when we won against a team earlier in the year, in tonight's case it's my signed away jersey.

i will be tonight! havin a bbq - got all the necessities last night so i can leave the office right on 5pm today and be pouring my first rum by 5:15. ohhhhh yeahhh
 
oh yeah and i have to go into every game convincing myself that we will lose. every time i have been confident of a win we have lost haha.

seriously everytime i have followed these rules this season, we have won lol
100% absolutely this

Also,everytime they put up a bomb to one of our backs I have to say "they're going to drop this" if I start to think they won't drop it they do.
Also, whenever we hand a ball over in the attacking zone I have to say "they're going to score in this set" if I don't say that they will score for certain.

Reverse psychology ftmfw

I can be sitting in my office and doing that :)

The leisure of working from home :)
 
I am not usually openly confident but I have been the last few weeks. I made the call early, this is a special team we have right now.

You also stated Wests Tigers were no chance, despite riding a 6000 game winning streak.

BIGNOSEStu is Nostrildamus!
 
I blame Mick. He'd never had a Bronco burger, but he had one last night.
