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.

    • 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.

    • 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.
