OK so mine has only just begun. Hung the first premiership poster in my new Thailand house today. The sofa will be directly in front of this poster facing the TV on the opposite wall. I plan to have a MFC gurnsey framed and hung on the blank wall to the left of this pic on my next trip to Thailand. Other items will be added to the room to make it a full-on MFC shrine. My wife doent like Aussie Rules at all but she was informed before we built the house that the TV room was going to be devoted to the mighty MFC. The main lounge has her TV so we dont need to argue. The rest of the house was also hers to decorate. And a fine job she (Angkana is her name) did.

My TV room (future shrine) is the room at the front right of the house.

Show us your overseas decorations honoring the mighty MFC.

Not a shrine, but overseas (Warsaw). I mailed these Demons baby booties to my future daughter-in-law (hint, hint) but since that was four years ago and currently they have a grand total of zero kids, seems my hint-giving game is sadly lacking. 😁

And you can’t see it in this pic, but the toenails on her other foot are painted blue. ❤️💙

Conversely, this one IS a shrine, of sorts (it’s actually a pillow-fort that I built in hotel quarantine, and a kick-ar*se one, at that. If I do say so myself). It’s not overseas, it’s in Adelaide. But for all intents and purposes, it may as well be O.S. 

(The entrance is at the bottom. You crawl through a little tunnel and end up in wall-to-wall, top-to-bottom pillow heaven.) 😊

No doubt it serves your purpose but looks a bit too Hospital like for me!

Enjoy the Dees no matter where we are!!

Pity it wasn’t the 1970s at the time; probs would’ve been rocking the *mustard and baby-sh!tt- brown combo. 
*Picture Hawthorn colours. 😁

I’ve dismantled mine now that the house is sold and we’re packing up. We are going to travel for a few months (while continuing to follow the Demons on watchafl.com). We will land in Melbourne in August and start our next phase of life. It will probably feel strange living in Australia again after all these years. I hope to meet some Demonlanders and enjoy a Premiership at the ‘G.

Not that I’m aware of. 
And since I was there on my own, I sincerely hope not!

On a marginally related topic, every Dees fan should, when in New York, make a pilgrimage to the George Cohan statue in Times Square. You may not have heard of him; he is an American composer (albeit perhaps not all that famous). But you have definitely sung a song of his, called "You're a Grand Old Flag" with some slightly different words ...

I have a place just outside of Korat. I can just feel the heat under the car port.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
