Fly The Flag in 2022

[Lucifers Hero 37,006]

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:

Mine are already up! 

[Demongirl35 815]

Put it up!
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 :)

[Demonland 64,798]

I think I'll wait until Grand Final week.

[WalkingCivilWar 31,408]

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!

there's quite few around town been up since last year and still looking good

[WalkingCivilWar 31,408]

I was gonna put this in last year’s Premiership merch thread but don’t wanna tempt fate.

You took yours down after last year's GF already?

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.

They should have the Tribunal instead of Jail.

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

Meh, it would be too easy to get out of.

Nah, the jail is there for a reason.

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?
