The useless omen thread

[bulldogproud]

Sorry Spelly, but you are wrong on this one. Norwood only won the Reserves and Under 19's in 1986. Glenelg won the Under 17's that year.

Cheers

Keep this one for the archives- Spelly was wrong!

Never thought I'd live to see the day

You'll have to keep on living; Glenelg did not even make the Under 17s finals that year. Norwood beat Sturt 14.11 to 6.9 to win the 1986 Under 17s flag, In the list of under age premierships in past year books, Norwood is the only team next to 1986 for the 17s.

Glenelg finished 6th in 1986:

Darn, that means the SANFL Media Guide is wrong. Sorry Spelly for doubting you and putting faith in the 'bible'.
Please forgive me.

No problems at all, bp, that should be correct for the next Media Guide. The table at the bottom of that page is correct in that Glenelg have won 5 Under 17s flags and the last was in 1975.

Also worries me if Sturt do win the other three flags. 1986 was of course a Glenelg premiership year. What I thought an omen for us is looking more like one for them given the closeness of Sturt and Norwood in many ways.

I turned 36 yesterday 3 + 6 = 9
Born in 72 = 7 + 2 = 9
Got to make a wish, which must come true, let you know Sunday around about 5:20.

[Big Phil]

Well what do you know...

As per the front screen, it is my birthday today...

Guess what, I turned 27...

2 + 7 = 9 !!!

All I want for my birthday, albeit belated, is another Doggies Premiership !!

[Punk Rooster]

the last time Wall St crashed (1987), Glenelg lost the GF to North
Wall St had a trillion wiped off in it's single biggest drop in 1 day, Glenelg are playing in the GF...

Now that should be a 7 day ban



as for more omens, havent Centrals lost more finals than Glenelg this decade

[smac]

No. 2 each isn't it?

[Zathrus]

I'm not one for omens but last week the G-----G Cats lost after finishing minor Premiers. Tigers are just very big cats. Very simple omen.

[Stevie_K]

If you average Glenelgs 4 flags out, ity's one every 22 years

We last won one 22 years ago

[mal]

GL[6/114] have taken first innings points against PA[94] in district cricket
MALcolm[GL] 64* a big name player ?
Will this inspire GL ?

[Macca19]

I did a fart this morning which sounded similar to the first line of 'we're from Tigerland'.

On that basis, I think they will win.

[magpie in the 80's]

the MINOR PREMIERS in SANFL, AFL, NRL all get beaten in the GRAND FINAL this year

[gadj1976]

Centrals still haven't beaten a decent side in a GF (tongue FIRMLY in cheek).

[smac]

I just watched Centrals win. On that basis, I think Centrals will win.

End of thread.

[heater31]

2008 has been the year of Top placed sides losing Grand Finals

Another one bites the dust..............

[Dogwatcher]

I reckon this thread got a mention in the ABC's tv report last night.

"In a match where both team's supporters were looking for omens...."
