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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
