    Got the follow up banner 

     

    Mine are still up, trying to work out the appropriate time to take them down. I guess when the neighbours tell me enough is enough.

    Neighbours? Bah! Like I said, S. Alighieri, 57 days. At least...

    And your follow-up banner qualifies you for an extension anyway!

    Not sure if I’ve done this correctly. If I have, enjoy my handiwork. If I haven’t, you’ll just have to die wondering. 😆

     

    Only available space left is on the roof! Next year maybe you'll get a flag or banner up there

    Just put the premiership bumper sticker on the back of my car. Positioned it top left so there's plenty of room for more

    As many of you fellow Victorians would attest to, over the past week we have endured some of the strongest winds I've ever seen in my life other than sitting through a category 3 cyclone 20 years ago in Cairns. 

    Houses have wilted, multiple massive shipping containers have collapsed on each other , 100+ yr old trees destroyed, towns without power for days. 

    My Dees scarves, tied only by the tassels at each end to my flimsy tree in the front yard have not moved an inch

    Yep, I've had to rescue two flags this week and do some running repairs on the fixing systems of 2 others. Still get the occasional "toot" as someone drives by.

    That’s lucky. I have structural damage to my roof that will cost me a bundle.

    Walking back to my place from the shops on Saturday when one of my neighbours collared me and said,  its time, so I said for what, thinking she might have wanted to have a coffee with me. Well she said when am I thinking of taking down my banners? Well to tell the truth I hadn't considered it, so I said, off the top of my head, maybe Christmas when I put up my decorations.

    But now that it seems to upset this busy body I think I'll leave it for another year and just replace them with next years ones.

    This is a car I saw when I was having a walk on Sunday, that's dedication.

    what type of file is it e.g. .jpg ,tff ,png etc?

    i should have said simple copy/paste using right mouse click rather than cut/paste, and don't use embed.

    It shows up on my post, all three times, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. 🤨

    Thankfully just a Merc. Makes me wonder whether a Jaguar in blue with red touches added would be showing loyalty to the club beyond what good taste should allow.

    Now I know how to do it this is one I posted on another thread but it didn't show up either, a jumper signed Jack Viney and Brian Wilson who was there on the night. A premiership player and a Brownlow medalist.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
