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. 😁

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
