p.s. Note Haymes paint tins. Been giving them a good go, too! Looking forward to 2 more weeks of 'All The Goals' - LOTS of them

Well, didn't Week 2 deliver!

Soooo how long can we leave our stuff up for until our houses get egged?

End of September i reckon

Quick question: being new to the whole  My Awesome Team Just Won The Premiership thing, one wonders for how long does one leave one’s house decorations up???

Sadly, I’m familiar with the etiquette of a grand final loss (in particular, 2000) whereat one takes one’s decorations down as soon as it gets dark, all the while crying. Well, that was me anyways.

I didn't get a pic in time but I saw a tram driver with a Melbourne scarf flapping out his window like you do in a car after a win.

@TheWiz,@WalkingCivilWar, as this is all our Christmases come at once (including that they came on the 25th!!), I reckon 12 days at least. Indeed true tradition has Candlemas Eve (1 February) as the day of undecorating, so let's make it 1 November😁

Got no plans to pull my modest display down (indeed I added the rest of my scarves at around 3am on Sunday🍷🍷🍷...) But I recognise yours is a more challenging conundrum*, WCW...

 

(*Speaking of conundrums, WCW, I haven't forgotten the 'Ziggy' we're due to collect Round 1 next year! And now it might include a flag unfurling as a bonus!)

Took a bunch of scarfs into the office today and made everyone in my team an honorary Melbourne supporter for the day, much to the disgust of my boss who's a Lions/Bears fan from day dot, but even he took it in good spirits.

GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!

You've got the dream quinella. A Premiership and a visit to an office while many of us are in lockdown!

I'm not sure if this is a fair guide, but there are still plenty of homes around me that still have black and yellow fences, gates, etc. I'm not sure if that's because they won three of the last four or because being Richmond supporters, by definition they are just a bit stupid.

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!

You would have to walk a long way to spot me on my daily walk I usually wear one of the many scarves I have accumulated over the years, especially during the many frosts we get here. My front gate was festooned with them. Yesterday I might have done a "Sheedy" a couple of times

Yes, It could be worse We have the Rugby League followers up here who seem top hate Aussie rules and won't miss an opportunity to "enhance" our decorations.

Nor have I forgotten! I’ll be there for Round 1 and I’ll be bearing a couple of “Ziggies” as promised.


And I’m definitely leaving my decorations up ‘til November 1 much to the (likely) chagrin of my Bulldogs neighbours. Sorry (not sorry). 🙃

 

 

I'll take mine down next Sunday morning, exactly one week later than I thought I'd be taking it down when we were three goals down in the third.

Until the second week of Jan, just like the xmas decorations.

My painted driveway will stay in place until the paint naturally disappears.

I’m gonna leave mine up for a while. I’m crazy. 

Love the user name update!

 

I reckon wait til it's time for Christmas decorations and then have a 'red and blue' theme for those. Seamless.

I'm actually going to leave mine up for a bit longer and in fact I'm getting another poster to put up next to the one on the front fence that says 2021 Premiers. That will stay up until I get sick of seeing it, which may be never.

I've waited for such a long time to be able to say that, I think that leaving it up for a while is within my rights.

 

Got my posters up yesterday & next plan is to put a spotlight under the flag to illuminate it at night. It can be seen flying during the day 500m away from down at the corner of my street. 😁

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
