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.

Nah, the jail is there for a reason.

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 o

I reckon he started repainting his fence at 3QT.

I cannot stop laughing at this. 😂

But truth be known, when Bont put them up by 19 pts I contemplated pulling my (many, many) decorations down. It was dark and I was already crying so I figured I’m halfway there, why not do it?

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!

Phuqu me! I've been stressed out the last 11 months dreaming of our 14th flag.

Like last year it will be good to see some pics as folks put out the colours.

This might motivate folks to get decorating! This is my house last September…

I am so scared of dropping back to mediocrity I have not worn my cap or scarf to one game this year, well the 3-4 day games. 50+ years of pain is not easily erased.  

I’m sure another 🏆 would go quite a ways to erasing the pain, OD. 
But you really should wear your cap and scarf, if for no other reason than to keep your head and neck warm. 😊

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:

How do you avoid pigeons pooing on them?

We don't have any pigeons around here. The flag is in pristine condition (and really annoys my Bulldog supporting neighbour!)

You will have to change your call sign to Griswald if you exceed last years effort!

Love your Demon passion!

Where did you buy the streamer tree - never seen one before?

I grew it from a seed. 😂

Tying the ribbons to the branches took so long. It was during lockdown so I had plenty of time. This year, that tree will bear no ribbons.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
