Okay, I've just ordered some red and blue fairy lights for my apartment balcony, and I figured this could be a good place for people to show off their home decorations for finals.  Also it could be a good place to share ideas, and also let each other know where you got a particular item that someone may be looking for/inspired by. Let's out red and blue each other!

 

There’s a few houses along my route to work that still have their fences painted in Dees colours from GF week in 2021.
 

And good on them too. I for one will never stop celebrating our drought breaking 13th premiership #stillgiddy#

 

I'll be erecting a flag a week in my driveway starting this coming weekend until. They stay up until we get eliminated or the next season starts 🤞🏻


Too soon, Kat. TOO SOON. 😭

Imho one should hold off decorations until the week leading up to the grand final. In 2018 I spent a king’s ransom on decorations and  pimped my house out before the prelim and there’s nothing more depressing than taking down decorations (at night so the neighbours don’t see you) while crying (softly so the neighbours don’t hear you).

BTW, someone started a thread leading up to the 2021 GF called “Flying the Flag” which is the same as this. Maybe the mods can merge?

Flag on the front porch will only go up after a win in the prelim, but will stay there until New Years Day if we win the big one. Same as 2021.

Same in my neck of the woods. My large flag goes up this weekend as my neighbour is a Colliwobbles supporter and doesn't have one.

If they did, I’d have a wee bit of fun in taking it down. Good old neighbourhood rivalry.

Moved in to our new home in a very quiet neighbourhood on September 22nd, 2021. Reckon the area hadn’t been as noisy (certainly hasn’t since) as it was on the 25th 😝.

First there was lots of yelling in delight, followed by lots of cussing, before 45 minutes of breaking the sound barrier that was the euphoria of the 3rd and 4th quarters.

My kids had an absolute ripper of a time decorating in 2021, particularly in that final week leading up to the granny.  They were itching to do it in 2022, but I had to explain that mummy isn't so keen putting our team decorations up when our team are no longer in the hunt :-(

2023 please no early exit and let the decorating be long, exciting and a conversation piece for our neighbours! These glorious colours deserve to be out and proud deep into September, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb & March!

As an example - would this be going too over the top? (Link removed by mods)

We used this company in 2018. The club owns the image & provided it to us to use for the final’s campaign. The image was not shared for a private company to continue using so we wouldn’t be encouraging anyone to get this made up.

Love this thread. It was amazing to see the city painted red and blue in 2021. Got my colours out once we were in the prelim in 2021. Glorious times.

If we make the grand final, I’m happy to hook people up with red and blue ribbons curtesy of my work. 
But we gotta make the grand final first. No jinxing around here!

Mr T  get ready for the 14th   and put a point on your stick for your neighbour,  Thursday next week will tell the tale. Win that and we are close to the 14 th Flag.

I cannot get there for this one, but have a large TV,   Grand Final, if we get there a complete other storey.   Cheers mate

Poke your neighbour again !

🙋‍♀️ I accidentally bought a kilometre of ribbon in 2021. I’ve long since run out since I take some with me to every match and oftentimes a little DA member will come down the front to say hello and go back to her parents with red n blue ribbons in her hair. 😁 No such thing as too much red n blue ribbon.

My wife was dressing our back room with scarves, balloons, streamers on grand final afternoon in 2021.

I was saying “too soon, too soon” I thought she was putting a moz on it. Shows you what I know

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
