GDay Dee-Land!

I just thought I would find out if any other Dees fans are as crazy as me to have game day omens or rituals in the lead up to the big days?

Would love to hear your thoughts!! :) :)

Go Dees!!! :)

I don't have one but tomorrow I will do a lap of the MCG Mecca style and if we win I will continue the ritual.

The morning of a game I have my coffee in my Demons mug and sing "It's a Grand Old Flag" with my 2 year old son after eating breakfast. He pretty much knows the words now and his favourite colours are of course red and blue.

Don't believe in Omens, too much like believing in God!

Fuel for the weak!

I don't believe in omens or religion, but also don't diss the practice. What's more weak? Having omens or being intolerant of those that do?

I have no consistent omen. Some days I get a root - some days not. It is a chancy matter.

BTW Perhaps your could have been used in the thread title. Just a suggestion.

Let's not get into that discussion again...

My omen is a tin of VB with my weet-bix the morning of the game. Ensures that I enjoy the day no matter the result.

When I wake up in the morning and look at the clock and it says 9:11.......I know the team is in for a bad day.

As in, putting the VB on your weetbix or just on the side,,,,my fathers brother.....if there was no milk in the fridge would crack open a beer and put it on his weet bix, bit of a crazy bastard but a legend for it.

Not really an omen but Its either -

stocking the fridge with wild turkey cans ( caffeine after a 3am start ) and a bottle of red at the ready before yelling dancing in front of the tv like a crazy man.Hopefully the missus returns at siren time so I can sing the song with my 18 month old daughter.

Or slipping into the g hitting the bar my trident seat and trying to remain calm and be a decent dude before vacating the members area heading downstairs to standing and yelling my guts out.

hopefully we win.

then its off to a bar or 3 . he he.

I usually find the best way is to slaughter an animal,spread it's entrails out on the kitchen table and then decipher the signs from there.

I'm not into the I Ching ,Tarot Cards or anything esoteric.

I don't drink tea,so tea leaves are out of the question.

Luckily for me ,there is a Lebanese man with too many cats,who use my courtyard as a thoroughfare/toilet.So I have a ready supply of Omens.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
