The remote community of Imanpa about 200 km from Uluru fly the Demons flag on the Lasseter 10DE9251-4C09-46CB-AE55-7D54A2E02439.thumb.jpeg.8b2ae56af89369ddcbe4f7c2e0ee2704.jpeg highway

    One of my new favorite lockdown activities is trying to spot Demon flags and other items on my daily 5km radius walk. I seem to live near quite a few Melbourne supporters. Our front yard has had the Melbourne flag up since post round 23!

    That's it; time to put out the colours in my remote* Gippsland community!

     

    (* That's the way it guiltily feels compared to how you all in big urban centres are doing it right now...)

    I would be even more impressed if it read '...since 1923..'

    My scarf has been in the front garden for 2 weeks since the QF.

    Stolen in broad daylight this morning.

    I live in Geelong.

    My wife, who used to be a Filth supporter, took it upon herself to order this before they are all sold out. Just need to install a flag pole now. Anyway, I'm praying we can go all the way. 😍

    I’ve agreed to put up a flag in the window, but I’m so nervous about this week I kind of don’t want too many reminders! If we get the chocolates on Friday I’ll make the house full red and blue everywhere!

    The lovely wife put up a little Dees flag in our window on Sunday. I'm waiting until Friday night to add to it if we can get up.

    Same! I am soooo tempted to drag out my box of streamers and balloons etc. especially since it’s something to do during lockdown. Most of the stuff I bought in 2018, planning to adorn the outside of the house after the prelim. Sadly most of it is in unopened packages.
    I still have some of the things I decorated my house with in 2000. They’re still in great condition since they weren’t out in the weather for long. 😞 As soon as twilight descended I dragged my sorry ar*se out to pull it all down. Where I live Essendon supporters easily outnumber all other supporters put together. Or they did back then. Now there’s a lot of Geelong, Richmond, Hawthorn and Footscray fans to be seen. Amazing what success does for a club’s supporter numbers.

    Another reason to hate Geelong.

    I'm still trying to work out how to artistically arrange my rather large collection of Demons scarves inside my front window.

    If we get through this weekend it'll then be time to don the flashing red horns I got yonks ago and scare the local kids.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
