    Stick with the 2005 cap and remember that glorious year.

          now that we are in the finals is it A-Okay to drive around with your scarf proudly displayed INSIDE the car? eg. across the back window?

            Absolutely. But it must be across the backwindow shelf, not out the window. Also a cap nestled in amongst it is optional, but a nice touch.

                Collingwood fans do something similar, although it's not necessary a pies scarf across the back window shelf - it all depends on what team's scarf was already there when they stole the car......

                  yes - across the back window dash area is how have it and I drove to Melbourne that way in '05 - and I "met " up with Go Swannies in the M5 tunnel, he had a "go Swans" sign attached to the back of his motor bike - we lost eachother at marulan - and found each other again accidentally at the MCG!!!

                  so for clarity - on display inside the car - absolutely - outside the car only after we have won - and if its the granny and we win - it can dangle outside the car all the way back to Sydney up the Hume!!!

                    and we all have to wear exactly what we had on yesterday as well - even down to socks and undies!!! (just so as we dont break the spell) I went to Shark park last night wearing red and white - and a sharks scarf - a clash of colours - but the Sharks won too!!! I just have this feeling............................

                      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

                        What we wore whilst watching the game? I don't know if frumpy old pyjamas, a cat-hair-drenched sloppy joe (as I think my new people call what Yanks call 'sweatshirts' - still learning!), and my puffy Swans slippers would go over well on mass transit and getting into ANZ!

                          well you are an American - so we will make an exception with you! I wore my Swans BBQ apron to '06 and it turned out to be a horrible day - I figure bad things happen in 3's - the Grange Hermitage we had in the car park was awful,My BBQ apron looked stupid and we lost! and to top it all off I pranged the car out the front of all places "Optus Oval/Princes Park/Vissy whatever" that night!

                          "Swans were alive in '05"

                          "Eagles were a bunch of prix in '06"

                          But - "Swans win again in 2010"!!!

                            I dangled the scarf out the car window last night after the game. However, when your car is parked in the garage at home it doesn't have the same effect. I even set up the pedestal fan to try to get something out of the moment but even that had moderate success.

                            Finally, it went back into the wardrobe.

                              Would it anger the footy gods if I wore my 2005 GF tshirt to the game today? I'd hate to be responsible for the end of our season.

                                Only t-shirt that would anger them would be the 2010 GF shirt so go for it.
