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?

How funny, M!! Feel free to chat about the Dees if I’m out the front next time you pass by!

Feel like I've seen it too but can't be 100% sure. Will report back after my morning walk tomorrow 😀

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!

Your place wasn't the one I was thinking of Ben E but very similar!

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.

Thanks for that! (Spirit of the Demons would have been better!)

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.

Well it is the dog ute Luci !!!!

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!
