Scarves, flags fading a bit after 12 months but the red and blue Haymes paint lookin’ as good as new!

Nothing’s coming down as long as we remain the reigning premiers!

(What can’t be seen in the pic are: life size Max Gawn cut-out which has gone slightly yellow; a big toy tiger draped in a Dees’ cape, reclining on bench; signed Clarry jumper in the window; miniature figurines of Max and Jack perched on the window sills; MFC clock and footy over the door; and various other red and blue paraphernalia scattered about!)

My goodness we're neighbours! Spotted your gaff on the annual Halloween gathering. My wee one looked at me with disappointment - puts ours to shame in many ways.

    I sold the house these were attached to, but the flags were definitely not a fixture.  They look a bit faded now after 4 months of Qld UV, but really hoping I can drape them over the boundary fence at the MCG with absolute pride.

    Come-on Max, Jack and Co - bring it home at the MCG for the Demons faithful.

    4 more weeks.

    GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!

    Interesting facade. Does the word up top mean anything?

    Not really sure. I know the Scots had a bit to do in building and settling into houses in our street in the 19th century. But the name on our facade is more American Indian than Scottish, I would have thought!

    Thanks, I did a quick net search (never my first thought), one meaning came up as 'Spirit of the Woods' . Has a nice ring to it. Enjoy tonight Ben.

    LOL!  Looks a bit rustic for your good self, Bbo.

     

    This solves my dilemma as to when to put out the banners etc while not jinxing the team.

    As we win a final, I will fly scarves from my car window until the next final. 

    If we win a PF I will then put out all the red and blue paraphernalia.

    Haven't seen red and blue out in the Bayside area. 

    Must be waiting to see if we make or win the Prelim 🤔

    Sadly took most stuff down but, what the hell, kept the 2021 banner on show (and red and blue Haymes paint up top)!

    Was riding high with those 17 straight wins. Second half of this season was torture, however. Saw all 8 losses, 7 of which followed same pattern. My daughters and I screamed our guts out last night but to no avail. Sorry to say but it’s almost a relief that the 2022 campaign is over. I don’t think I could take yet another team reel us in, in the second half of games with even greater stakes, after holding a commanding early lead. So deflating. I would generally find solace in the mighty Reds but even they are struggling!

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
