Last year I waited until we won the PF to put our colours out...didn't want to jinx our GF chances putting them out earlier. 

This year, I'm wondering when to put them out: after this week's QF or wait to see if we make or if we win a PF.  

I'm inclined to wait until we make a PF which could be this week.  What are other DL's planning?

Can't wait to put out my new very large banner:

    If your team is in the finals then show your colours!
    we could be out in straight sets but until then we are in it :)

    Defs NOT before a prelim win. 

    There’s only one thing sadder than waiting ‘til dark to take down your many, many decorations, all the while crying, after a losing GF. And that’s doing the same after losing a semi or prelim.

    Last year waiting till after the PF win gave us two weeks of flag flying because of the pre GF bye. 

    Think I'll put them up after we qualify for the PF which could be this week, next week or not at all.

    Man around the corner painted this entire fence in Bulldog colours last year. I went round to buy the paper next morning and he had repainted back to white. He must have been up all night.

    Crazy to wait until GF week, that'll only be 6 days of banner prior to our second flag.

    I'm putting my banner up on friday i reckon.  I am preparing for less goodwill from the neighbours this year though. they all got on the board the poor demons last year but it will taper and if we win it again, I am looking forward to the hostility i receive next year!

    I think Christian Salem should sue for defamation. How can he be the second least valuable player on that board?

    My wife was dressing up our house last year in grand final week in red and blue for the game, I wasn't interested in any of it for this exact reason. Scars from 1988.

    Needless to say, it stayed up for a long, long time afterwards.

    My miserable “un-decorating” was on GF night 2000. At the time I was living on a main road, very conspicuous house with so much exposure and flanked on either side by Essendon supporters. In fact, I lived in a neighbouring suburb of Essendon, so they were everywhere. When the traffic slowed to a crawl outside mine, some would yell abuse from their cars. Someone even egged my house! Yep, just another entry on my very, very long list of reasons for hating Essendon.

    Bah! A problem for the  hoi polloi WCW. You can avoid mixing with the riff and riff by purchasing a luxurious manor in the splendid isolation of a bucolic rural setting.

    And risk having the likes of you as a neighbour? Yeah nah, that’s the hugest bunch of NOPE right there.
    I’d sooner live amongst the riff and riff. Whatever that means

    So in Sudan we have a vast fleet of white 4WD (sadly Toyotas and not Range Rovers, all of the old MFC stickers I have get stuck on a rear windshield whenever I travel to a new sub office. I was most chuffed when an Essendon supporter from another agency OCHA, was in Damazine and sent me a picture asking 'is this you?'. The other pics are from Finland on the ferry, driving around after the Carlton win with the scarf out the window.

    Do you reckon he had the white paint ready?

    • 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.
