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!

Yes, it looks very healthy.  He's even got some growing in the gutter!

He ran out of space.

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.

Yeah.

Nah.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.
