LIKE most athletes, AFL players are creatures of habit.
Along with regimented training schedules and personalised nutrition plans, many players have their own pre-game rituals which help them feel consistent and focussed on game day.
In light of Paul Stewart’s 100th AFL game this weekend, we thought we'd look at the swingman's gameday superstitions.
Might we add - this one is one of the stranger pre-game rituals we’ve heard...
Stewy can’t have his football boots anywhere but on the floor before a game.
Not on a changeroom bench, not in his locker...they absolutely must be on the floor.
Apparenlty it’s a ritual he's kept for as long as he can remember.
Congratulations on reaching 100 games Stewy!
