things you have to do before a game to ensure you win

[yardenlavy]

hey just wondering if anyone does weird things or has a routine they do

before watching a game to give your team the best chance of winning

thanks

 

[weagles_fan]

Pump yourself up. Listen to some tunes that get you in the right frame of mind and ready to go come the start of the game.

Ensure the team has a sound understanding of the game plan, but still allow for adaptation should things go awry.

 

[Schache It Off]

Go on Bigpond videos and look up the last win we had against "X" team.

 

[raskolnikov]

Jump on the bandwagon of the team I think has the best chance of winning.

Oops sorry, my mistake. Thought I was on the Hawthorn board.

seemed to work....

Go to the pub, smash a parma and finish as many jugs as possible so I'm a guaranteed winner at the end of the day

Beer. Large quanities of delicious frosty beer

Not much you can do, it's up to the team really. I guess I'm not superstitious.

Been married for a few years, and had a son in grand final week in 2008, so I doubt the term "I" will come into pre-match preparations for the next few years.

In fact, I'd imagine I'll be running around the house doing chores and trying to get the "points" into the positive, so that when I come home drunk four hours later after the footy, I'm sort of back at even.

usually i try and beat the team on the old NES Australian Rules game.

Problem is it doesnt have all the right teams, so i have to be a bit flexible.


usually also have a kick in the park with my younger brother as well. If we are hitting our targets its a good sign.

It's more during than anything, but I always have to have my Eddie Bear's head facing in the direction of the play/watching the TV if it's an interstate game.

Let's all go and own Hobart, yes!

The best thing to do before a game and i bet no one does it, is meditate.
Quiet the mind...........
If a player could find a corner in the dressing rooms, withdraw within himself and concentrate his efforts in seeing himself in his minds eye taking the game apart,not only will he be focused,but normally he will have the focus to do it.
Listening to music and all that other crap only detracts from performing.


Theres alot to be said about meditation, pity the footy world isn't into it.
You can do all the physical work you like but if the minds not right ,zero results.

Have a few drinks at the pub before going into the ground. Have a few in the ground before the bounce.

I've done that for many many years and we've lost as many as we've won but it makes me happier!

 

[TassieSaint]

Every game I watched in it's entirety in 08 whilst wearing my St Kilda guernsey we won with the exception of the preliminary final

Haha. I know this one bloke who:

• Gets a parma on Bridge Road in Richmond before every game (even games at TD or interstate)
• Gets to the MCG four and a half hours before the bounce to secure balcony passes
• Goes to the gym
• Finishes some stuff at work
• Quick drink with some work friends

 

[stmookeyj]

As a player, I tend to play well if in the warm-up I either don't touch the ball at all, or have plenty of short kick-to-kicks. Not sure as a spectator though.
