Finals Decorations

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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
