    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

    ...And make sure your second car has good space.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
