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 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
