Do you reckon he had the white paint ready?

He only had to cover the white strips with more Red and Blue and he would have been ok.

    I reckon he started repainting his fence at 3QT.

    I think I’ll probably do the same as last year and put up my flag after a win in the prelim then keep it out until New Years Day if we win the GF.

    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.

    I put the first flag up after round 23. I put the second flag up after our QF and our GF rematch. I have 4 more posts ready

    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. 😊

    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:

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
