Omens pointing to flag!

[DeadlyAkkuret]

In both years that Sydney made the GF, there has been omens that have remained consistent, and it's happening again.

In 2005, Carlton won the pre-season cup. Sydney lost to WC by 4 points in the quater final, then reversed the result in the GF, and a WC player won the Brownlow. 2006, Sydney defeated the Eagles in the qualifying final by 1 point, and the result was reversed in the GF, a Sydney player won the Brownlow.

Here were are in 2007, and guess who won the pre-season competition? if the win/loss trend continues between Sydney and West Coast, and we don't meet them in the finals until the GF, the omens are pointing our way!!

[swantastic]

You just put the mocka on us:rolleyes:

[NMWBloods]

if the win/loss trend continues between Sydney and West Coast, and we don't meet them in the finals until the GF, the omens are pointing our way!!Not really. If we don't meet them again until the GF then it won't be a replica of the previous years. If we do meet them again then we need to win/loss trend to change.

[ROK Lobster]

Not really. If we don't meet them again until the GF then it won't be a replica of the previous years. If we do meet them again then we need to win/loss trend to change.That's it, we're @@@@@@.

[satchmopugdog]

There is also the fact that the Swans have mirrored the formof my eldest brother's bowls team over the last 2 years.

Good as an omen so far...they are into the finals..finished on top of the ladder.

[hammo]

You are clutching at straws!

[satchmopugdog]

Yep!...but I am one of those lucky knickers type people.

[goswannie14]

Our omens are that in 2005 Mrs gs14 was pregnant. She is pregnant again, so I'm looking at history repeating.:D

EDIT: Post your congrats here (http://http://www.redandwhiteonline.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19272), not in this thread please

Congrats. Busy boy !

[Xie Shan]

Arrogant Sydney supporters... :p

The omen I'm banking on is that our run to the 2005 flag arguably started after we lost a game by a point at the MCG, to Richmond...and the score was 85-84. :eek: Read into that what you will.

[Xie Shan]

In March 2005, the Dave Matthews Band toured Australia for the first time ever. They're due back on May 6th.

Now that's just plain silly.

[Wardy]

hey thats not silly - I leased a Camry in 2005 - last year I went back to a Corolla and looked what happened we lost and I had a prang on GF night, this year its back to the Camry which I pick up in a few weeks time! So dont knock anything that clearly worked in 2005!

[Frog]

So dont knock anything that clearly worked in 2005!
We fielded a team in 2005 and we are doing it again this year?

[Wardy]

see - exactly my point!

[ScottH]

We had 7 captains in 2005, we only have 3 now.

[hammo]

Paul Roos was coach in 2005 and...


he's coach again in 2007 :eek:

[reigning premier]

Other similarities....

We played Collingwood in a split round at Telstra Stadium....

New years day fell on the 1st January.....

Anzac day on the 25th April...

:eek:

Oh my god.. we're going to win the flag again!!!

Oh my god.. we're going to win the flag again!!! Can't forget the 22 rounds prior to September finals action.

[Zlatorog]

Oh, dear, we're back to omens again.:rolleyes:
That is all what we need now, not to play 22 rounds and the finals but a tarot or a tea leaves reader to predict our future.:D

[Mel]

Ah crap, does this mean my brother needs to get another divorce this year? But I like my new SIL!!!

[Sanecow]

Ah crap, does this mean my brother needs to get another divorce this year? But I like my new SIL!!!

He doesn't muck around!

[Mel]

No kidding. Divorce came through in September, married in October.

Can't blame new SIL for last years GF loss though (1st marriage took place GF Day 1996 - applied/submitted for divorce mid-2005) since it was October. New SIL is a Swans member too.

[RED RAG]

Hey Mel, best you don't get funny about your new SIL. Seriously, it's got more to do with injuries than omens.

[satchmopugdog]

I dropped my Swans mug at work today and chipped/cracked it. About 10 people said "It's an omen!"


What of I'm not sure.

[DeadlyAkkuret]

It's an omen that it was made in a third world country.

That you work with special people?

[Damien]

A possible omen looming if Tassie can win the Pura Cup haha

Last title of any kind won by Tassie in Cricket was in, you guessed it, 2005.

[Ed_Gein]

This sort of thing is starting to remind me when Liverpool were in the Champions League in 2005, there were so many omens flying about that Liverpool would win it and it came to pass. Coincidently, Liverpool are once again doing astoundingly well in the Champions League again. I can feel it people.... :p

It was an omen of good fortune. My secret buddy has replaced it with a new one with the song on the side(What though the odds not whether the odds) plus a Swans stress ball. Fabulous...it's going to be a great year. Fingers crossed.

[i'm-uninformed2]

In 2005, I was regularly drunk.

In 2007, I am regularly drunk

thats it then the flag is ours!!!!

[Sanecow]

No! Wait! What about 2006?

[NMWBloods]

No! Wait! What about 2006?
Oh please - don't encourage any more stories...

[i'm-uninformed2]

I found (then rejected) Hillsong

was that the 3 days during last season when you were semi-sober?;)

Yes - and the Lord is a fraud. I fell back onto the drink, he didn't answer my prayers for a GF victory, and Celine Dion is still alive.

Miracle worker, my a@@e!

cant argue with that my friend - I totally agree!

[is2SWaNz]

I think these omens are pointing our way. Although i had to be convinced the hardway

In 2005, my grandmother (father's side) passed away.

And only a week ago my grandfather (father's side) passed away.

:(

[Big Al]

In 2005 we wore Red and White.
In 2007 ...OMG what were the odds. The Flag is ours.

[satchmopugdog]

My brother's bowls team lost...so all this omen stuff is just nonsense.

[573v30]

2005 - Round 1 Home Game
2007 - Round 1 Home Game

The flag is effectively ours. :rolleyes:

[ScottH]

Everything in the clothes shops is red and white, well, a lot more red and white than usual.

[Lucky Knickers]

In our premiership year, MOL, had his shorts pulled down quite a lot in games and flashed his butt. On Sunday same thing happened.

Well Liverpool have made the final again (which is on 3:30am AEST thursday morning) IF they win it again i'll be putting my house on the Swans to win the flag. ;)

2005: Carlton win pres-season comp, Liverpool win CL, Swans win the flag

2007: Carlton win pre-season comp.... Let's hope the rest follow suit, starting on Thursday. :D

[573v30]

After 8 rounds in 2005 - 4 wins and 4 losses
After 8 rounds in 2007 - 4 wins and 4 losses

We're right on track. :D

As an Everton fan it pains me to say... Go Liverpool! :D

[BBBBH]

this week will be a good indicator as to how we're travelling.

[ugg]

I don't believe in omens.
