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.

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

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
