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!

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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
