Calling out to footy fans
From the volume of the TV to wearing our lucky scarf in precisely the perfect way, us AFL fans can be a superstitious bunch, believing our every move can dictate the outcome of a match from high in the stands or even kilometres away. Do you believe you can control whether your team wins by the underwear you wear on match day? Or the meal you eat before watching the game? We want to hear from you – what’s the wildest or wackiest way you believe you can help your team win?
