    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. 😁

    Where did you get the top poster that looks like an old WEG one? I would prefer that one to the one the Herald Sun are pushing.

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

    I've asked 12 non MFC supporters the question and most have said; after 57 yrs, as long as you like.

    One person said; till preseason starts and I think I'll run with that. Mrs Dw has informed me that the 2 highest flags are never coming down ... ever.

    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.

    Get some Demons up for Halloween as well

    It's probably Demonland Royalty... the question is... which poster?

    Missed this pre-game, so making amends now! Love the attention to detail with the team list. Got the 'Premiers' update (though maybe it was a pre-game prediction?!) In my region's 'Brahton', up the road from my modest village...20211015_153012.thumb.jpg.2b0083e651d6050f6ad7aaed76fc6bab.jpg

    Still got the flag flying from the front porch. It’s easier for passers by to see since the cherry blossom tree on the nature strip blew down on Friday. I think I’ll do what that fella in East Melbourne does and fly it between our first and last game each season.

    Friday’s crazy winds blew our side fence down and took our neighbour’s roof off but my decorations remain unscathed. It’s a sign. They’re not going anywhere anytime soon. 😁

    For years I've been travelling from the south-east to Melbourne airport along CityLink past the Toyota Melbourne HQ where they have 18 flagpoles with the team flags flying in ladder order. I've been used to us being toward the western end of the flagpoles. This year I haven't been on that road once so missed seeing us positioned most of the time as the first flag you see when travelling west. I hope our team flag is up there now and still there until at least Round 1 2022, and hopefully longer.

    Still up here (my even more modest pre-match display had babies at 3am on the morning of the26th...). I believe the circumstances demand they remain up for 57 days...

     

    At least.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
