The useless omen thread

[Dutchy]

That sounds a lot like your "We'll smash em" post on SL.org before the semi as well Dutchy. Let's leave the club forums be and just concentrate on the ridiculous bullshit that gets posted around here - there's plenty to choose from.

Didnt say which game Smac

Just opening it up for discussion, not saying its right or wrong....

[MatteeG]

Here are the best omens I can come up with-

1986 was the last year both my footy teams (Hawthorn and Glenelg) won the premiership in the same year.

1986 was the last time Boston Celtics won the NBA, and the Patriots lost the NFL superbowl.

2008, so far Boston have won the NBA, Hawthorn won the AFL and the patriots lost the Superbowl....

GO YOU BAYS!!!

[CENTURION]

[smac]

All that shows is he follows teams who win premierships very infrequently.

[therisingblues]

That aint as bad as that pork chop that rang 5AA Sunday night, Jack from Brahma Lodge I think...

Some of the rubbish he was saying about his Bays side and how the Poms shouldn't even bother rocking up because his side will win by 70 odd points

Sure he wasn't the same doggies fan bagging Roy a couple of weeks ago trying some reverse psychology on his boys??? Brahma Lodge - yep lots of Bays fans up that way (Hi Tigersupporter!!!!)

I have a sneaking suspicion that he may also be Neville, the loud mouth Port supporter that appeared for one season and constantly bagged the Dogs.
Not to mention several other personalities.

That is quite clever...

[Bluedemon]

does that mean the bays will win on Sunday then?

[smac]

If it guarantees us the next 3, then I am sure we could come to an arrangement.

But seeing as though no one would guarantee us that, you can gefugged!

Very good.

Bays win this year
Dogs in 09, 10, 11 then the reign will end.

I guess Norwood can go for the 2012 premiership.

[SDK]

Centrals will have to create history
They have never beaten GL in a Grand Final........

They also have never beaten.....

Port
Norwood
West
Sturt
South


Glenelg in a Grand Final have never beaten......

Norwood
West
Sturt
South
Eagles
And.............Centrals.

Glenelg have only ever beaten North and Port ( 1934 )
Centrals have only ever beaten Eagles and North.

One team will add a 3rd club to their belt...which one ?

[smac]

Centrals beat West in the 2003 GF. Otherwise, that was nice work.

[SDK]

OK....thats my omen then.....Glenelg to add a third scalp !

[sjt]

It's a bad omen to believe in omens.

[StrayDog]

Very good.

On a straight swap basis, 2023. You'd still have more to look forward to than Port though, hey

[MatteeG]

Sad but true....

[spell_check]

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:

The last time i attended an SANFL GF that Central and a team other than Eagles appeared in the Dogs lost. Come to think of it the same result ocurred in the last GF i attended incl Eagles. I will be there this Sunday. PS: GO TIGERS !!!
